    CBC often does this with Business reporting. In their story about the InstantPot bankruptcy they neglected to mention that the reason the company was $500 million in debt is because they were acquired by a private equity firm who then took out a $500 million loan in the company’s name and used it to pay themselves a huge dividend, earning about $150 million in instant profit.
