Canada is burning. Why won’t CBC tell us why?
(ricochet.media)
This one doesn't: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/wildfire-smoke-health-effects-how-to-protect-air-quality-9.7297727
Nor this one: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bradley-creek-evacuee-wildfire-9.7297911
This one? Nope. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/spokane-washington-wildfires-9.7297896
This one really seems like it should, but it doesn't: https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/south-korea-heatwave-9.7296123
Both articles were published August 6th, think it’s fair to give OP’s article the benefit of the doubt.
eh, got me there. Nearly identical to OP’s article just slight differences.
CBC covers climate change almost every day. And reasonably well.
Climate change deniers don't consume CBC media. So they don't need to spoon feed the cause to their audience at every turn.
CBC has a huge fear of being controversial, which given extremes that pass for normal these days, and it results in the softening of anything that migh stir the hornet's nest.
I get the criticism, but it also over assumes the CBC's influence. We all have "the context [we] need to understand the crisis", some choose ignorance. The CBC can't fix that.
I mean, I’ve seen this a lot. It’s climate change. Probably because I’m kinda close to it?
Hard to miss here, honestly.
