CTV news is part of bell Canada, it's not government funded.

    I don't think that assertion is true, so I did some quick googling.

    For example PostMedia received 35 million in government funds in 2021 according to pressprogress

    Searching through Government of Canada Grants and Contributions you can find lots of public funds. here

    My two cents, if it very important we as a society publicly fund Canadian news organizations to help keep them, fair, balanced and, trustworthy as it can be from both sides of the spectrum.

    For the record, there is no such thing as "far right" you mental case

    Considering nobody said anything about the "far right" I can only conclude you're not interested in listening to what people are actually saying and are just screaming from your soap box.

    I'm a little confused who you are talking to and the points you are trying to make.

    My statement was a rebuke of your assertion that only left leaning media gets public funds, of which I think I showed wasn't true.

    For the record there is such a thing as the far-right just like there is such a thing as the far-left.

    It's also amusing you complain about childish name calling and then proceed to do just that.

    Not worth talking to them. They're either deliberately trolling or incapable of coherent thought, or both.

    I don’t engage with them often, and I’ll admit it can be frustrating. I’m making a conscious effort to connect with people who hold different ideas or worldviews, Like a new years resolution.

    They do have to "agree" to meet in reality though.

    There isn't a news outlet in Canada that isn't government-subsidized in some shape or form by that measure. Even non-profits are, via direct tax exemptions, or tax exemptions given to their donors.
