I can't trust CBC News' reporting of anything having to do with this subject after the incident/controversy earlier this year where CBC itself halted its own us

I can't trust CBC News' reporting of anything having to do with this subject after the incident/controversy earlier this year where CBC itself halted its own use of Twitter. This is CBC News' own article about that earlier situation: "CBC pauses Twitter activity after being labelled 'government-funded media" https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/cbc-twitter-government-funded-media-1.6812591 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/cbc-twitter-government-funded-... We should keep in mind that CBC has been receiving well over a billion dollars of taxpayer money each year lately, so them being labeled "government-funded media" does seem quite reasonable to me. That situation will always make me question CBC News' impartiality regarding topics like Twitter, X, and Musk.

CBC pauses Twitter activity after being accurately labelled propaganda.

You’re missing the intent behind these "government-funded media" flags. They are trying to devalue this content, as if it is somehow lesser than if it had come from the private sector which obviously Twitter values more. The government isn’t some nefarious entity that acts on its own volition, it is US. And a handful of men sitting in a boardroom is exactly what it is not.

  > The government isn’t some nefarious entity that acts on its own volition, it is US Unless you are not, in this case, Canadian. In any case, despite your attempt to paint it as malicious, the distinction is very relevant when reporting on government policy.
