Just turned on CBC News Network Live and they were talking about how “by far” Melania’s hat is getting the most attention of the day.
I’m so tired of our media. Trump issued at least 26 executive orders, Elon did the nazi salute multiple times, Trump commented on tariffs… but we have to talk about this hat!
For what it’s worth, Wikipedia’s news section seems highly factual and not editorialized. It shouldn’t be this hard to get news though.
They’re doing actual news now, today is just stressful and eventful.
I’ve been finding media coverage all over bad, but the CBC I expect high standards from. CBC Radio still has good quality news, but TV news just hurts to watch these days.
I feel like TV is inherently a shit medium for news.
Get ready for their radio and print journalism to go down the shitter as well when PP defunds the CBC 🫠
Tv has weird incentives. They want more connections, and they need to fill the all the time-slots. They think if it’s too boring or high brow you’ll hit a button and watch something else, and they’re deathly afraid of the “off air” banners they used to show.
Plus CBC has to look fair to an increasingly unreasonable right wing to try and appear unbiased, but that’s introducing more bias than ever.
The falls of the History channel and Discovery were in hindsight the harbingers of the end of TV news.
