Never heard of Democracy Now but don’t write off CBC just because they’re gov funded. As long as you know their bias I’ve found CBC to be pretty good in delivering factual news. The thing they engage in most is lying by omission - not covering inconvenient topics.
How’s their coverage of the genocide in Gaza? And the conditions of your prisons? When there’s a protest, who do they interview? Do they actually go to the protest and air interviews with protestors?
(Honest questions: I don’t watch CBC)
For example, did they publish any interviews with students who were protesting their universities profiting from the Israeli Genocide, making clear what the students demands actually were?
This, I think, is one of the most important things that separates DN from many other news outlets. They focus on giving a voice to those who are often voiceless. When some oppression is taking place, they focus on interviewing the oppressed (eg the students and the prisoners), while most mainstream media mostly just airs interviews with the oppressors (eg the universities and the State).
I’m American and I don’t willingly watch most American news
We have some great news media, though. I haven’t found a good SA or EU or Canadian equivalent for Democracy Now
