Nice lying title CBC:

"As they began to learn more about the country - and in particular Halifax - Robin Vargas said leaving the United States became about more than just politics.

"There were just a few things that weren't for us. I don't want to say it's completely Trump - that was a motivating factor for sure - but it was more of an adventure to come out here and try something new," the 33-year-old said."

Why does the Progressive fake news media always sound so desperate for an anti-Trump story.

Because they want their readers heads to:

Here’s what we found:

• People are twice as likely to say the quality of journalism is declining (26%) as improving (13%). However, this is significantly affected by the views of Conservative voters, who are far more likely to say journalism is deteriorating (42%)

• 85% say they have been exposed to “fake news stories” including 47% who say “quite a few” stories. Most (57%) of those who’ve been exposed to fake news said they read the stories. Among those who read fake news stories half said their views were affected and they were misled.

• We estimate that about 24.5 million Canadian adults have been exposed to “fake news” and 14.1 million have read content. About 7.5 million have said their opinion had been improperly informed because of the “fake news” they read.

• On the question of media bias, 58% think “the news media generally favour one political party over another, with Conservative voters 15 points more likely to feel this way than Liberal voters (69% versus 54%). Millennials were also far more likely than average to perceive a bias, as are residents of Alberta.

• We asked about perceived biases of different media outlets, and in most cases, roughly half saw no bias. The tendency was to see a Liberal bias at CBC, a Conservative bias at the National Post and Sun Newspapers, a slight tendency to see a Liberal bias at the CTV and Global, and mixed opinions about the Globe and Mail.

• We did find differences of opinion depending on the party respondents said they voted for in the 2015 Federal Election.

• Conservative voters were more likely to perceive a bias in the news media overall, particularly at the CBC. But at least a third of Conservative voters felt that CTV, Global, and the Globe and Mail favoured the Liberal Party and one in five felt the National Post and the Sun newspapers favoured the Liberal Party.

• Liberal and NDP voters held varied views but not substantially different from Conservatives. Both were more likely to feel that the CBC tended to favour the Liberals while the Sun and National Post favoured the Conservatives. Interestingly, Liberal voters were more likely to feel the Globe favours the Tories as opposed to the Liberals. The opposite view held by Conservative voters.

Bias whether perceived or not is a problem in the media so when a News Outlet uses an inflammatory headline that's only partially accurate it goes along way to perpetuating the problem rather than rectifying it.

Your perception that the headline is inflammatory is clouded by your definition of 'flee'.

I'm not disagreeing with you that the media will resort to clickbait in order to sell page impressions, I'm just saying this isn't one of those times.

It was 99% due to Trump and 1% other reasons. Headline is Fake news!

It is fake news. It is sensationalized bullshit, plain and simple. When someone "flees" they are leaving against their will. They do not WANT to leave, they HAVE to leave. You flee a category 5 hurricane bearing down on your city. People were fleeing the route 91 harvest festival in Las Vegas because a madman was mowing them down. Lets not minimize the word "fleeing" by applying it to two yuppie douchebags who WANTED to leave. Their lives were not in peril. They were not going to be deported. They were not facing years in the gulag. No one was pursuing them. No one is pursuing them. No one cares that they left. I am glad that they left. My only regret is that they did not take all those other dipshits that claimed that they would leave the U.S. if Trump won with them.

They wanted to leave and they left. They did not "flee" anything. They made plans and took a whole year to leave. No news story here at all. The fact that someone would actually leave their own country because their candidate did not win sums up what a bunch of whiny self entitled assholes these people really are. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Anyhow they are your problem now.
