The CRTC is never the right entity. But since there's no other entity that can do this kind of thing, they end up with the job.
Yeah the prominence of opinion is a problem everywhere. But just filter out that stuff. But I find when I do that there's some articles left on mainstream sites. When I do the same for indy sites, there's basically nothing there.
Journalism costs money. There's only enough money there for there to be just a few businesses to have actual journalism. Those sites will inevitably be labelled as mainstream an biased by alternative sites.
I've yet to see any alternative to mainstream media that isn't just political activism that's making on like it's news.
