The president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada defended the public broadcaster and its independence Thursday from a fresh barrage of pointed Conservative questions about its coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

I think you grossly misunderstood me. To be fair, I can see how, and should have been more clear.

I was attempting to insinuate that defunding the CBC is our route to corporate sponsered misinformation taking it's place in entirety.

This is perhaps the issue with taking a paragraph and breaking it into its smaller parts, addressing each one in a vaccum. Taken as a whole, it's pretty clear if I am defending the CBC and therefore, it's likely that I do not think this article, specifically, is misinformation. I am simply adding to the headline that all of Canada is in trouble, not just rural Canada. Yes, this is a fact which is stated in the article, and I never disputed otherwise. I just wanted to emphasize that point as people have a tendency to read headlines and move on.
