Oh no, they still suck. I haven't read Global News in a while, I'm just aware of them. Part of my job includes collating news from around the world, which is why I started a few news coms here to diversify the feed a bit.

I haven't seen that article, so I can't speak to it. I did once make a statement, as a teenager, to a global news reporter that got sensationalized in print, so I believe you about coercing stories that draw more readers. It's just a big difference between corporate spin-doctor shenanigans and fox news' pulling shit straight out of their asses.
