Oh, I see. CBC polled ten of its employees, and only one was brave enough to confess distrust.

I want to believe that's a perfect inversion of the truth, but I know too many Canadians for that not to strike me as at least plausible. There is no population more menticided this side of North Korea.

I think the fact that the respondents answered, “Yeah, right!” was misinterpreted by the pollsters.

Replace CBC with BBC and you have the same nonsense in Britain.

Cancel your TV Licence folks . . .

Perhaps the CBC was summarizing the following study?

"Oxford study reveals Canadians’ trust in the media at record lows since COVID outbreak -- Only 39 percent of English-speaking Canadians say they trust the media, the study finds"

And the original study (see p. 119):

That is so funny. As a Canadian who hasn't trusted anything from the CBC for 19 years, but did trust it for a lot of decades before, I can say that I don't even know anyone anymore that listens to, or reads anything from the CBC. PS - we call it the Canadian Bullshit Corporation. That article from them is a masterpiece of bullshit.

Be careful, if C-11 becomes law it will be a thoughtcrime to question the Ministry of Truth.

Hmm. I wonder how the pollster worded that question? "If a nuke landed outside of your window, would you trust the CBC to tell you the truth about it?". Yes.

State funded to the tune of billions - absolute trash organization that hands out hundreds of millions in bonuses. They apparently throw absolute wild parties which would explain all the sexual harassment cases - I don’t like the CBC

Insanity. Says a lot about Canadians, if true. Although the same can be said of Americans who swallow the gaslighting 24/7.

How do you know it's true? Because it's the media who are telling you. And people trust the media, which means that the media are trustworthy. So it's got to be true.

It's almost as if the media is telling the people what they should think. This is why I love those "bias sites" that delineate the bias of media...while ignoring the fact that all bias sites are biased.

Most of the conversations online ended in a similar fashion where when I presented data different than the narrative, inevitably I would be asked to give the source. The source of course is not the source of the data. The data was the same data the CDC was using, but the source that aggregated the data was a "biased" source that was against the narrative. See how lovely that works out.
