Lol, the "facts" ... You mean the ones you get from her rage bait? I see no logical reasoning flaw there.
No. She's not. She's social media rage bait. She is driven by what gets clicks, which is driven by social media algorithms, and she gets paid through advertising that is based on clicks. She is independent in that she has no editor, that is clear. She's not independent in the sense of being separate from corporate advertising pressures.
Yeah, people used to get thereir news from cable TV and people told them not to then too. Congratulations on putting in the lowest effort possible and becoming half informed by what gets you angry. You're an advertiser's wet dream.
And other medias don't? Get real.
Aren't you angry at the news in general these days? Beween the Palestinian holocaust caused by Israel and the UAE's genocide in Sudan, American politics, MAGA, ICE, the general push of western society towards fascism in general, the collapse of Canadian society through restritive costs of living and the constant degradaion of our social services through attrition for the past 20+ years by conservative and neo-liberal politics, there's plenty to be unfuriated about.
She's not rage baiting, she's just stating facts.
The news has always been shit. You're not angry because of the news, you're angry because anger keeps people on social media longer and gets more ad dollars.
And other news media don't do this? LoL That's the whole game right now.
What did the UAE DO now? She wouldn't know a fact if it slapped her across the face. She was Fact Checker for CTV for a short while 🤣 during the last election and did such a horrible job she was fired because of so many complaints. 🤣
You got all your facts wrong. Maybe inform yourself before you make a fool of yourself.
