Nothing says "objective reporting" like a government-funded news publisher. That's why I always get my news from Russia Today, so I know it's objective. (Word to the literalnet: I thought we were all adults here and we didn't need a /s. Apparently I was wrong.)

This sure will never be a headlines on western media: https://www.rt.com/usa/519414-cnn-carjacking-death-accident/ https://www.rt.com/usa/519414-cnn-carjacking-death-accident/ But of course, black female teen can not commit felonies, it would be racist to think otherwise, and even if they did, it would certain be linked to their ancestor being forced into slavery by evil white people (omitting the mention they were likely first sold by blacks in Africa)... or this: https://www.rt.com/news/519412-makassar-catholic-church-bombing/ https://www.rt.com/news/519412-makassar-catholic-church-bomb... If it's a mosque in NZ, it's western news worthy, but nobody gives a rat fuck about a catholic church being bombed.

  I read the CBC regularly and listen to the radio as well and agree it is not objective and is always pushing a social objective. If you could remove the inflammatory tone from your posts and just state the facts there might be an interesting discussion to have. If the CBC is someone’s only source of news it is a handicap to them as there is very little business reporting except from the point of view that some people having some success is bad because others didn’t have any. At least the old newspapers had a business section that celebrated success and gave one a window in to that world. If all you consume is CBC you aren’t shown a path in to markets but are shown that they exclude you and there is nothing you can do about it. CBC creates victims.

  I think this is more a reflection of car culture - we call car crashes "accidents" more often than we call them crashes.
