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.

I'm really disappointed by CBC radio's interviews. I tried tuning in a couple of times recently.

The House was just interviewing ministers and bureaucrats about policy. They didn't talk to academics or independent researchers about the effect of the policy. It felt like I was listening to a press release.

All of the coverage of Trudeau's resignation (that I heard) asked people affiliated with the Conservatives or Liberals what they thought. They interviewed Gerald Butts ffs. Then they interviewed some Harper-era minister. The interviews went exactly as you'd expect.

I really wish they'd interview independent experts. Everything I hear seems to be from people who have vested interests.

I don't think it's a plot, I think it's just half-assed journalism.

That’s why I like The Conversation, it primarily is by academics and experts. I just wish it was more front page news focused.

I agree with you strongly on that. A lot of stuff feels like it’s optimizing for low cost over quality.
