If you'd read the article, you'd have seen the "rural communities in particular".
I'm not sure where this is 'corporate sponsored[sic] misinformation', since
This part is easy to agree with as we have a wealth of trending that points to double-talk and misinformation. In fact, the last paragraph of the article includes an example of Conservative false-equivalence.
I think you grossly misunderstood me. To be fair, I can see how, and should have been more clear.
I was attempting to insinuate that defunding the CBC is our route to corporate sponsered misinformation taking it's place in entirety.
This is perhaps the issue with taking a paragraph and breaking it into its smaller parts, addressing each one in a vaccum. Taken as a whole, it's pretty clear if I am defending the CBC and therefore, it's likely that I do not think this article, specifically, is misinformation. I am simply adding to the headline that all of Canada is in trouble, not just rural Canada. Yes, this is a fact which is stated in the article, and I never disputed otherwise. I just wanted to emphasize that point as people have a tendency to read headlines and move on.
