    Thank you.

    I wish there was one article that had all this info instead of basically nothing like the CTV article -_-

    I would probably pay for a news site that provided simple and verifiable information and links elsewhere like that rather than wordy writeups and crappy summaries or stolen videos.

      I think that is the crux of it aside from readers having little expectations of being informed for these reportings, it also seems that the news outlets no longer have viable revenue models that allow them to staff to the level it would take to write proper articles which is why the Toronto Star was the best out of them.

      Will point out that CBC does take a lot of revenue from us collectively and this low effort type of reporting is become very common for them. That’s addition to clearly trying to pander certain crowds with titles like this

      Greenland has become the island that could break NATO

      I’ll still defend them as being the best large scale news outlet in Canada but they’re becoming a astonishing poor place to be informed about events.

        The CBC does a remarkably good job considering how their budgets have been repeatedly cut, relative to inflation, at the same time that their ad revenue has been in stay decline (same as everyone else).

        And yet the CPC wants them axed, because the Republicans have shown them that conservative-owned media is one of the main ways to shift the Overton window further right, and public broadcasting/reporting is a major obstacle to them. Unbiased, accurate reporting doesn’t align with their goals.

          I would file this under socialized things Liberals slowly ruined and Conservatives threaten to destroy the second they get in power.
