Well. Sadly a majority of Canadian news outlets are owned by Postmedia (I personally feel like that's a bit too "on the nose",) which is in turn majority owned by Chatham Asset Management, which is in turn fully owned by Anthony Malchiorre. Anthony, and CAM, have a long and....robust....history of being Republican mouthpieces. So.
What has (Canadian) journalism become?
GOP Propaganda? Obviously there's still a bit of journalistic and editorial freedom. But it's a fat lougie in the eye of the law that says Canadian media is to be majority Canadian owned. Sure... Postmedia is "Canadian"....about as fucking Canadian as Timmie's is these days. Which isn't fucking Canadian by a cunt-ry km
Are there no publicly funded or independent alternatives?
Yep, the CBC, which the Tories are talking about defunding if they get back into power. Now the CBC ain't perfect, but I trust it more than I trust Postmedia owned outlets.
