Are you suggesting that what the CBC is saying is false ? Or does it bother you that they are willing to call out PP for the snake-oil salesman that he is ?

Oddly enough, the CBC scored the second highest rating possible for factual reporting on MediaBias.com, the same score as The Canadian Press, The National Post, and the Globe & Mail.

Not sure if you can see the comments without an account.

We're saying the CBC is selling snake oil.

And we're saying we're tired of being forced to pay for them to hawk it for the gullible to guzzle down.

It's not surprising the CBC is meeting the low journalistic standards set by MediaBias.com, and we shouldn't be paying them for it.

Tried to watch a program a couple of days ago. Over and over and over again: "climate crisis", "crisis". Think we need to come up with bingo cards, cuz if we made it a "CBC propaganda drinking game" even a seasoned drinker would have alcohol poisoning within the first twenty minutes.

Oddly enough, the CBC prints only anti-Conservative garbage, and never seems to hold the other two parties to any account, despite the reams and reams of evidence showing just how awful and disgusting the NDP and the Liberals are. Oddly enough, the CBC has morphed into a giant taxpayer-gulping unaccountable machine, and likes it that way, and so of course, oddly enough, are going to kow-tow to the two dummies that run the NDP and the Liberals, who never hold the CBC accountable. Oddly enough, Canadians have had enough of this total disgusting garbage situation. Oddly enough, if our tax dollars are going to get sucked down a bottomless pit like the CBC, we'd actually like to see something other than evil far Left regressive views represented.

I don't understand why a there is a need to label WEF as a conspiracy theory, and then use it to label PP as a conspiracy theorist.
  • WEF exists.
  • WEF events are attended by government leaders, and rich and famous people.
  • WEF's mandate is to advocate for what they believe to be best for the global community (ie they are globalists).
  • WEF publicly states that their strategy is to influence governments to see things their way and implement policy to change it.
  • Some of WEFs policies are at odds with what's best for Canadians (especially if the rest of the world is not implementing them).
  • Current government is clearly on board with the WEF agenda and is being influenced by them.
I don't see what is conspiratorial here; nor why CBC feels a need to spin a story to make PP look bad with this WEF junk as the biggest evidence of a conspiracy theory (with the slant that conspiracy theorists (rightfully) are kooks).

This is the kind of bias we see from CBC on pretty much every subject that isn't strict news. Choosing which stories to run, which angle to take and which words to use to influence public opinion.

Brave of you. The CBC sounds just like Justin on climate. Ridiculous at best. I haven’t listened to CBC for a long time.Their biased and untruthful broadcasting can make honest people ill. The CBC misrepresent climate for sure, but even with the freedom convoy the CBC had to invent russian conspiracy theories to support Trudeau’s hate for them. The CBC behaves like CNN and is only interested in towing bad far left ideas. No wonder CBC ratings are below water.

So, how does it happen that Trudeau's favoured and subsidized "independent" mainstream media outlets end up with the SAME headline today?

Coincidence? I think not.

:up: :up: (Although some conspiracy theorists are kooky, others (despite having been labeled as kooks) turn out to have been theorizing correctly about conspiracies.)

The WEF's intentions have been clearly stated, not hidden conspiratorially, and they have very obviously diverged away from Canadians' best interests.

Instead of discussing what it means for Canadian interests when our elected politicians are serving a global organization with an agenda that requires acting against Canadians' best interests, the CBC is mudslinging and propagandizing.

Because it's not accurate and 100% untrue to say that we are in a "climate crisis". That's what is wrong with that.

Please provide evidence that the reporting is untrue. Continually stating it’s inaccurate without facts is meaningless.

The only climate crises I foresee is when we have rolling brownouts because we are forced to be relying on wind and solar to heat our homes in Canadian winters . So predictable with liberal nonsense. How would the CBC report on Canadians freezing in the dark ?
