For the benefit of the non-Canadians: The Tyee is a progressive fringe publication -- increasingly fringe in recent years as it raises its revenue from donations and it needs clickbait and outrage-porn to attract that funding.
Sometimes they make decent points, but they also spew a lot of utter nonsense.
- CameronNemo 5y agoAlternative hypothesis: without the need to appease corporate ad sponsors or billionaire owners, the publication is free to explore seemingly "fringe" ideas and topics.
- cperciva 5y agoPerhaps, but on the occasions they've covered a topic I'm intimately familiar with, their journalism has been laughably off the mark. In the spirit of preventing Gell-Mann amnesia, I'm not going to assume that they're any more accurate about anything else they write about.
- freeslave 5y agoCanadian and BC resident here. The Tyee is left-leaning but hardly "fringe". I would suggest they rely less on clickbait than many mainstream publications. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-tyee/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-tyee/
