I'm not sure why you have state run media in scare-quotes. CBC is state owned and run: https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/vision/mandate https://cbc.radio-canada.ca

I'm not sure why you have state run media in scare-quotes. CBC is state owned and run: https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/vision/mandate https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/vision/mandate "the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, as the national public broadcaster" Further: Minister Responsible: Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Broadcasting_Corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Broadcasting_Corporat...

I wasn't using scare quotes, I was using literal quotes from your previous post. You said "This is the same state-run media company that said objectivity is 'potentially harmful'", but your link points to a University professor who doesn't represent CBC or any state-run media company as best I can see.

  Maybe do some further research then, she is a former CBC reporter: "Prior to her academic work, Candis produced, wrote, and reported for television, the Internet, and radio in Canada (CBC, CTV)" Source: https://jwam.ubc.ca/profile/candis-callison/ https://jwam.ubc.ca/profile/candis-callison/ Also from the same article: "However, Candis Callison calls objectivity "the view from nowhere" and considers it potentially harmful. She has worked as a journalist in the United States and Canada for television, the internet and radio, including at the CBC."

    I'm a university professor who used to work at AT&T. I hold all sorts of positions, but that doesn't mean you should attribute them to "a major US telecommunications firm."

      I'd agree unless AT&T published your remarks in their publications, yes. Do you really think there is no connection between what op-eds get approved for publication, and the organization publishing them? Do you also think that former employees being published in their former employer's news publication does not indicate some level of ideological aliment? I think that it does. If you don't, that's fine, but the conclusion I've come to is not unreasonable when you consider all the context.
