Another example of why more and more people have less faith in traditional media.
I'm NDP, I support the CBC, I think everything should be owned and controlled by the public ... I'm socially minded and that the world should be more equitable place for everyone regardless of wealth and status.
But to see the CBC dive further into this hole and it makes me wonder if the operators of this public broadcaster are the ones that actively want it to be eroded and eliminated.
If this story occured in any other part of the world with any other country other than Israel ... there would be no debate and no confusion as to how to report it.
I know this is not your point, but it stood out to me with your choice of words: "I'm NDP" and "I support the CBC"
You're just you and you support the NDP too!
I'm sure that's what you meant anyway but it's just interesting the way we use words of identity with political parties. Eventually those words take root and it actually becomes your identity and other people become truly others.
Perhaps "I'm NDP" is a succinct description of how a person leans in the Canadian political landscape that might be informed by decades of voting behaviour, or even personal involvement in the political sphere. Or, perhaps it is a rigid and irrational us/them orientation like how you personally have interpreted it
Regardless of how I interpreted it I'm just remarking that the use of the language stood out to me, next to "I support the CBC" after it.
Makes you think about words and how we use them and how that shapes us.
Anyway, ignore me.
