Do you know how much of our “Canadian” media is US owned? It’s massively disproportionate.
I also like to have other views from other places on the planet, but thanks for your 2 cents.
I do know, but I don't understand what that has to do with what I'm saying.
I follow almost a dozen news sources, all of them Canadian-owned
Right. Fair enough. But ground news aggregates all the others the shows you the speciality, bias, and view that readers get.
It helps me when talking with people and reading my own news to have a viewpoint that’s outside of the individual article.
The ~~problem~~ reality is that most people read the major news sources, Canada.com, National Post, Toronto Sun, Calgary Herald, Ottawa citizen etc. everyone would assume these are Canadian media outlets when they’re not.
The other thing with it is that it lets me see how other countries are viewing the news in other nations, such as in the Hindu times when Carney won the Prime Minister position.
There are things that we as Canadians jacked into our own media that we just don’t see.
I understand where you’re coming from, but for me the site opens up a whole new access to information that I never had before.
My opinion: I agree with these points. It's nice having a news aggregator. It's simple and free and gives a generous amount of sources for each news story
I've got a lot on my plate and curating news feeds is a low priority
