The comments did not disappoint. The progressive mask sure comes off quick when facing a dilemma.

^In what way?

From what I could read there most people seem to see both sides to the argument.

I know it's hard to comprehend, but there is nuance to everything in life.

First, the report opens with a quintessential Musk event — Twitter’s owner and CEO reportedly gathered a group of the company’s engineers and advisors and asked them why his engagement numbers were tanking.

“This is ridiculous. I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions,” Musk said, multiple sources with direct knowledge of the meeting told Platformer.

One of Twitter’s two remaining principal engineers suggested to Musk that interest in his antics was wearing out, and employees reportedly showed him a Google Trends chart depicting Musk’s declining popularity in search rankings. Musk fired the engineer.
Musk: What's going on with my tweet engagements
Engineer: Mr. Musk you're declining in popularity as we can see in this chart
Musk: You're fired.

That wrongful termination lawsuit would be amazing.

This is in the states, most states don't have any protections for employees, they can fire you at will as long as it's not for human rights causes (race, religion, etc).

PP asked musk to brand the CBC as state funded media. So he did. Now the CBC has paused using twitter. NPR and PBS did the same. I think this is an L for twitter.

Fun fact pp is also 100% state funded.

From the PM

CBC is government funded tho.. Where are the lies?

Hondaracer 04-17-2023 01:40 PM

Look back at CBC’s Covid coverage. They were a direct conduit for the liberals messaging. They weren’t subjective at all or even had any semblance of “journalism” they just turned around and spat out whatever the govt. was saying

find another news outlet that did anything remotely close to that. the CBC is irrelevent. whether it be their "news" or any other programming

Also the fact they instantly opted to get off twitter as opposed to trying to rectify the situation or appeal the decision speaks volumes as to their position.

There goes half your user base. Good luck getting the 80 year olds to stick around after coronation street.

They are following PBS and NPR.

I wonder who funds TNC and rebel news. Rebel has somewhere around 50 to 100 employees 1.6 mill subs on youtube but gets less than 10k views on many videos and the owner is always begging for money. Something does not add up.

Lets have all news media show who they are funded by.

i think the problem is that PP did it to try to portray the CBC as propaganda, which he tweeted about right after as his success.
cbc may lean left but its not fair to call it government propaganda.
do you know who else leans left? most of canada.

Don't know how accurate this website is, but you can rant more about posts being right or left wing

underscore 04-17-2023 03:38 PM

The CBC only seems left wing because so much of the other news in Canada is right wing.

It's publicly funded, big difference. By Twitter's own definitions: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-an...t-media-labels

Quote:

How government-funded media accounts are defined: Government-funded media is defined as outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content. We may use external sources similar to this one in order to determine when this label is applied.

How publicly-funded media accounts are defined: Publicly-funded media refers to media organizations that receive funding from license fees, individual contributions, public financing, and commercial financing.

Hondaracer 04-17-2023 03:53 PM

Lol that chart is such a stretch. All of those outlets are irrelevant. So yea you can spin them into this “right wing” conservative focused bla bla bla. They are dinosaur print media, AND they are privately funded. So who cares what they print, they are financing their “journalism” themselves.

Whereas CBC, listen to CBC radio for a day and see what you think.

CBC as a publicly funded entity has no business pushing the agendas and angles they do as hard as they do.

That's not entirely fair, as others said they did this to NPR (which is publicly funded).

In its past such label was held only to actual state-owned propagandist media (think RT for example).

To put CBC on the same playing field as RT is laughable at best.

Well you're not going to find data for online news back to 1980. Which coincidently is where they all exist now too, they aren't just print media. But if you don't think any of these are relevant news companies anymore then name some that are.

Hondaracer 04-17-2023 06:49 PM

Outlets like Global, CTV, etc. companies that still have presence on TV and steaming services as well as a hefty online presence are farrrrr more influential than print media who are on their final gasps even with their online presence.

Who gets news from the Vancouver sun or Calgary Herald? Their circle of influence is incredibly small.

It’s also like yea.. of course “conservative” leaning people own all this shit. They are all owned by bigger corporations. Rich people leaning right? That’s weird lol

Edit, lol..

Edit… also lol.. this was a good use of money, not like we don’t have bigger issues than renewing Murdoch Mysteries for its 18th season..
