Poilievre's argument for defunding CBC is myopic. The Internet + social media broke the business model that funded professional journalism. We need public funding to ensure a baseline level of independent journalism that isn't driven by rage-farming and clickbait headlines.

Faux journalism that is sensationalist and frequently dishonest is toxic entertainment from Internet trolls cosplaying as journalists without adhering to any codes of standards, practices, or ethics.

CBC costs you less than a night out at the movies. In exchange, our nation gets news and editorials from professional journalists, culturally and regionally diverse programming, and even some world-class entertainment. Nobody likes everything CBC produces and I think that means it's working.
