CBC has 9 tabs across the top.

 

  • Top stories
  • Covid
  • Local
  • Opinion 
  • World 
  • Canada
  • Politics
  • Indigenous
  • National

 

Indigenous has 33 articles today on that front page.  Not a single story allows comments.  On all other tabs, about 75% of the stories allow comments.

This was an odd TC story.  Lots of stories about people losing heir lives, their farms, their living, their homes, but this story is about two people that recently met and went on a long road trip. 

 

To top it off, the story never gives the man's full name and never explains why he's just called "Mitch" all through the story.

But the FB comments make it all worthwhile:

Man, comments sections. Comments are probably the best part of every post. Some websites over the years just farmed the comments as the number 1 visitor draw.

The other day I was thinking.

With all the journalists that had their Twitter accounts temporarily locked.

Who in local media here has a high following? Who doesn’t even tweet?

I feel most TC reporters just file their daily story, and then go about their normal lives. They are not on Twitter all day. On the other hand, I’m guessing every single Capital Daily reporter is on Twitter 24/7.

Adam Stirling is very active. But his follower count is pretty low.

Adam Stirling CFAX 10.7k followers
Jimmy Thompson Capital Daily 11k
Rob Shaw CHEK Glacier 22k
B. Basu Capital Daily 5k
V. Palmer Vancouver Sun 36k
Keith Baldry Global 73k
Gregor Craigie CBC 14k
Joe Perkins CHEK 7k
Dave Obee TC 271 followers

Facebook and Instagram will allow transgender and non-binary users to flash their bare breasts — but women who were born female and who are eager to “free the nipple” are out of luck, according to Meta’s advisory board.

 

Meta’s Oversight Board — an independent body of experts which Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has called the company’s “Supreme Court” for content moderation and censorship policies — ordered Facebook and Instagram to lift a ban on images of topless women for anyone who identifies as transgender or non-binary, meaning they view themselves as neither male or female.

Real breasts bad, fake breasts good. 🤔
