*** Quoting ACMEBBS from a message to boraxman ***

You are totally right. With much of the US media owned by a handfull
of companies...I don't trust anything I hear. That's why I only watch non-US sources (Reuters/CBC/BBC/DW/NGK/60 Minutes Australia) to get

^^^

an idea of what's going on

I used to try and keep myself up-to-date as much as I could, but lately I'll just check in with the news as needed, otherwise it's just too depressing to read on a regular basis.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a federal Crown corporation (owned/funded by the government) but has traditionally been more left
leaning regardless of who is in power.

One of the things I liked to do was read the same reporting from a "left" leaning news source and the same story from a "right" leaning news source.

It was always interesting to read how all of the facts of the reported issue/event were kept intact (x happened) but the reasons behind/blame assigned tend to be very different based on organizations left/right
leanings and who is currently in power. (political party y is doing all they can vs political party y isn't doing enough).

theglobeandmail.com (left) and nationalpost.com (right) are good examples of these reports.

Totally agree!

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is a federal Crown
corporation (owned/funded by the government) but has traditionally been more left leaning regardless of who is in power.

That's why I also like Reuters. Plus...never having visited outside the US...want to "broaden my horizons" to see what's going on outside the US with the rest of the world.

One of the things I liked to do was read the same reporting from a
"left" leaning news source and the same story from a "right" leaning
news source.

Only problem is with many of the news sources owned by around a handful of companies...these companies are going to do everything to keep their "gravy train" on the same track they always have been.

It was always interesting to read how all of the facts of the reported issue/event were kept intact (x happened) but the reasons behind/blame assigned tend to be very different based on organizations left/right leanings and who is currently in power.

Very true.

theglobeandmail.com (left) and nationalpost.com (right) are good
examples of these reports.

Will take a look at both of them.

Thanks for giving me examples.
