Although Jesse Brown from the Canadian news / podcast company has said he has no plans to come to I still think it is worth while to give them a plug here.

I have donated to this podcast, from almost the beginning. I initially started because I really enjoyed his radio show (which was unfortunately cancelled)

Show Jesse that Mastodon is worth joining by subscribing & donating:

@mgifford No thanks, too biased in their reporting. Although it’s almost impossible to find any source that is not.

@mgifford Reporting is almost always opinions. I like to form my own. I was a Star reader for more than 40 years and had knew it was always a left leaning news agency, but now it’s so far left it’s nauseating. I’m a centrist, who likes to read and my options are non-existent.

@robert12jones certainly when media claims they are reporting "Just the facts" you can be certain they aren't.

Knowing both sides of an argument is good. But being a centrist is different in Canada vs Europe. It is all relative.
