The Tyee Is Left Of Centre edit
This is NOT original research. This is the opinion of a well established site that monitors internet bias. If you don't like it that's tough. Your cancel culture approach to deleting things you don't like won't change thing. The well known Media Bias Fact Check web site rates The Tyee as being a left of centre publication. Probably deleted by the same people who created the article that uses it's own website, The Tyee, for its references... while telling me my self included reference to another source wasn't good enough. Unbelievable. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-tyee/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.98.7.6 (talk) 21:02, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
Prod nomination edit
The Tyee is a legitimately notable Canadian media outlet. As the prod nominations on both this and David Beers came from the same IP at Simon Fraser University, I strongly suspect that the nomination was ideologically motivated, as I simply don't buy that anybody living in Vancouver, of all places, could genuinely consider the Tyee unimportant on purely objective grounds.

Name origin edit

Sources edit
The Tyee article is almost completely supported by sources which are directly related to itself (many of the references are, in fact, its own website!). In its current state, this article is little more than a rehash of the website which it claims to be about. If you want to get this information simply go to http://thetyee.ca/.... this article is far from a neutral explanation of the topic at hand!

The problems go beyond the flag.
I'm entirely unclear how a "registered commenter" makes the (usually) quasi-formal leap to "published article". — MaxEnt 22:25, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
Outdated or unsubstantiated claims edit
Relatively new to Wikipedia so posting here for input before slashing and burning. Quite a few factoids about readership and funding in this article are old and therefore no longer relevant (dated 2011 and earlier). Additionally, two foundational sources for many quotations and assertions no longer exist online from what I can find (see references 13 and 15 from This Magazine and J-News). I'm tempted to delete or rewrite entire sections and will do so unless others disagree. The sections titled Model, Funding and Long form journalism in particular only have citations that are either over a decade old or contain dead links. TIA. Xanthophyll22 (talk)
- Ended up editing necessary sections and updating the article as described above. Was fairly extensive so I'm open to feedback. Xanthophyll22 (talk) 20:28, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
