Therefore, as news consumer, we need to practice the due diligent to seek information from opposing sides. A chic channel with 5.5 million subscribers (Vox) that fronts to educate, could very well be displacing you from reality with their highly curated content. Living in a capitalistic society, stories can be extremely polarized and subtle tactics are used to hide the inherent biases. News would be dry scientific papers that no one reads if they present all the facts available in monotone. This is because I am unaware that CBC over the years is “lowkey” poisoning my perspective with biases whereas, I know Vox is polarized so in turn I become more receptive to alternative views. Although the disparity between these two news outlets is not as intense as Vox and National Review, I (and probably many within the 1 million subscribers) would consider watching CBC as a greater self-disservice than Vox. Many people in the comment section also shared this view ironically, I would had dismissed their perspective without this exercise. Using CBC’s coverage on the carbon tax plan as an example, the reporter took the focus away from the unfavourable statistics by placing the emphasis on Doug Ford’s overstatement of a looming recession and the unparalleled comparison between Ontario and British Columbia. Upon close examinations and comparison to the National Post, I noticed that Justin Trudeau is almost never criticized and even the right-winged subject matter experts on the show are still relatively neutral. I have always considered the CBC to be neutral because the reporters never expressed their personal opinions. My favorite Canadian news outlet, CBC, showed some subtle left-wing biases that I never noticed until I compared it to the right-wing National Post. At the end of the day, both Vox and the National Review are contributing to the ever-growing division between people by portraying news in such polarizing and incomplete ways.Ĭanadian news: CBC News (left-wing) versus National Post (right-wing) After going through other news topics, people whom disliked Vox’s Trump bashing videos became more personally relatable. ![]() Conversely, Vox’s video on the same topic focused on evidences of Iran’s conformity and how Trump’s action will damage America’s credibility. Using the Iran nuclear deal as an example, the National Review supported Trump’s move to exit with evidences of Iran’s nonconformity while showing a video of the Iranian Parliament burning the American flag and chanting death to America. To my surprise, these videos are factual and even more addictive than Vox because they are very emotional provoking at just over one minute long. American news: Vox (left-wing) versus National Review (right-wing)Īs a strong believer of the “there are two sides to a story” ideology, I caught myself hypocritically feeling disgusted when I see videos slamming left-wing leaders such as Barack Obama and Ocasio-Cortez on the National Review.
