    Welp, so much for Vice being a subversive voice of the people. They’re an embarrassing husk of their former selves.

      Yeah, but at least it’s not government run media /s

      I’m in Canada and I find the reporting of CBC and TVO to be fairly good - and I can only imagine the news landscape when all news is 100% privately corpo owned

      Not to say either are beyond reproach when it comes to powerful special interests, but that only goes to show that monopolies are terrible and have unreasonable leverage and not some nihilistic comment on the nature of man or whatever.

        Man In Canada at this point only CBC and Winnipeg Free Press are reliable news sources. The rest are all Murdoch rags.

          Wonder why the conservatives hate the CBC so much…
