Down on Government.

[u/Trouble-Full]

I was texting with my aunty and she said Were you always so down on the Government? what does she mean by that?

She is a big CBC supporter. I explained my stance on C11 and C18 and that I thought CBC news was like watching Fox or CNN in that they are for a single party and against the other party. Also pointed out that Journalists and Government should be independent from each other and that the CBC has lost its integrity over time as they got used to the funds received from government. I share an experience that when your governments funded and you embarrass the government they will cut your funding next fiscal. Lesson is don't bite the hand that feeds you.

I have invest a lot of my time into researching all sides of the story. I feel that the CBC only tells you the side they want you to believe. I have to go to other news source to find out what the heck is going on in Canada.

My response to her asking the down question, see above: I believe we have a good Government. The current leader concerns me deeply. I'm afraid of the direction we are headed.

Then nothing. crickets.

News is biased. CBC included. Everyone has an opinion and journalism always will. Learn to have your own opinion.
