Why is this sub just CBC news stories? Does a bot add them all? They are mostly empty with no comments. Makes for a strange feed.

Edit: I think I just need to figure out which way to sort my feed. Sorting by hot gives me almost all CBC.

Edit 2: CBC is great. I am commenting on the state of c/Canada, not the quality of CBC

Good ol' case of confirmation bias. Ignore the non CBC posts. Seems 1 CBC post, this sub is all CBC!

It seems like one user (grte) essentially hits a couple news sites (primarily cbc) every morning and posts all the new stories to c/Canada.

I need to figure out how to block users...

e: Found it pretty easily in Jerboa

Perfect. The CBC is one of our best news sources if not the best.

Everyone has biases , and we tend to aggregate into communities. Neutral medias and communities doesn't exist. There was always a information war everywhere. I think we should just have the least amount of bans possible for any media outlets being shared even if we disagree .

Actually it’s fairly straight forward to fact check and rank media on accuracy. The narrative that there is no real truth is just more misinformation.

Yeah CBC is alright but sometimes they have the most dogshit out of touch articles, it'd be nice to have some variety that way we can get the best from all of them and hopefully all the dogshit from all them will end up at the bottom.

I'm personally in favor of a link repost bot as long as it covers all the Canadian news agencies
