Elon Musk has recently put his Twitter ownership to good use, first slapping American and British state media with a disclaimer label identifying them as government propaganda outlets on their Twitter profiles.
Now he’s going to work on Canada’s government propaganda machine, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
...
Public broadcaster Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) Twitter account was on Monday labeled as “69% Government-funded Media” by the social media website.
The Twitter label on the CBC site previously showed “70% Government-funded Media”, but Twitter owner Elon Musk said the “Canadian Broadcasting Corp said they’re “less than 70% government-funded”, so we corrected the label”.
CBC has said it will pause its Twitter activities over the labeling, a spat that has also drawn in Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre.
A hit dog hollers.
When you’re taking flak, you know you’re over the target.
Pick your metaphor.
...
Trudeau, as an avowed admirer of “basic Chinese dictatorship,” reflexively defends CCP-style state media. It affords his administration the means to disseminate its propaganda unchecked by facts.
...
CBC, like its American and British counterparts NPR and BBC, insists absurdly that it is “independent” while dependent on state funding.
...
Consider, as one example of many in the dozens of years of service to the state since its incorporation in 1936, the CBC’s framing of the COVID freedom trucker convoy to protest draconian vaccine mandates in Ottawa last winter.
...
The CBC and Trudeau’s government are one and the same, no matter how vigorously the CBC protests this fact. Elon Musk did the right thing here, for which he deserves credit.

His statist “tears” prove it’s state-controlled media.
LOL
I don’t think “Justin Wept” has quite the same ring to it...
What a waste of time by Musk. Putting some label on a Twitter account doesn’t persuade anyone about the media outlet. But this is the kind of BS publicity stunt that he likes to pull to cover up his Chinese connections. It’s sad how many people don’t realize he is a Manchurian Businessman.

I would say it is 100%. Unless they are offsetting that by ad revenue.
