COVID news reports often look more like propaganda than journalism

When it comes to reporting on COVID in Canada, the legacy media are failing Canadians.

Journalists don’t report the facts, they only push a narrative – even if it means burying important facts. The result is that journalists sound like government propagandists and their reports look like vaccine infomercials.

Trudeau tells heritage minister to burn more taxpayer money on failing CBC

In his mandate letter to newly-appointed Minister of Canadian Heritage Pablo Rodriguez, Trudeau tasked the cabinet member with providing “additional funding” to the public broadcaster which is already subsidized by Canadians to the tune of $1.2 billion.

Specifically, Trudeau directed Rodriguez to provide “additional funding to make (CBC) less reliant on private advertising, with a goal of eliminating advertising during news and other public affairs shows.”

Canadians increasingly impatient with climate-change deniers

The past couple of years have provided many examples of extreme weather events that, according to scientists, were exacerbated by climate change.

These events, which used to be featured in the back pages of newspapers or during the final moments of newscasts, are now in Canada. British Columbians endured an extreme heat wave in July, which has been followed this month by heavy rainfall and severe flooding.

The CBC is a joke and Canadians are laughing at them

This week, the CBC apologized after blowing an election call for the mayoral race in Quebec City. The CBC’s bungled call led to the wrong candidate rushing to the podium to mistakenly deliver her victory speech. So much for being a “beacon for truth.”

The state broadcaster continues to publish awful opinion pieces – this week, they claim climate change is caused by racism and white supremacy. Is anybody really surprised by how far-left the CBC is these days?

Rex Murphy: On climate change, the CBC has crossed the line from news agency to PMO mouthpiece

I’d like to start with an excerpt from a recent public document. It’s a bit longish but you need to catch the flavour of the thing. It has a magnificently “certain” tone, speaks of vast issues, asserts a Universalist impact, and has dread warnings for our country, Canada. Then I will offer a quiz.

Media group wants journalists legally protected from online comments

One of the organizations in charge of distributing millions in Liberal media bailout funds has come out in support of the pro-censorship bill, C-36, and has called for the law to provide legal protections for journalists who face harassment online.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, News Media Canada offered its support for the bill in a submission to the Department of Canadian Heritage.

“This is not about limiting democratic expression. It is about protecting it, and its most precious guardians, journalists. And it is about ensuring all publishers including internet intermediaries are held accountable for harmful content,” wrote News Media Canada CEO Paul Deegan.

Does that include David Menzies?

More media hysteria on the PPC

What the rise of the PPC says about Canada in 2021

TORONTO — While the People’s Party of Canada did not manage to gain any seats this federal election, its accruing of the popular vote has experts saying the rise of the far-right populist party cannot be ignored.

Maxime Bernier, who failed to win his own riding of Beauce, Que., said Monday that he will remain as party leader despite the defeat, telling CTV News’ Genevieve Beauchemin at his Saskatoon rally that he views the election outcome as “a huge victory.”

Hysteria is not too strong a descriptor.

The Star’s editorial board endorses Liberals for 2021 federal election

The election campaign that ends on Monday has been unnecessary — a $610-million distraction in the middle of the worst public health crisis in a century. The vast majority of Canadians, according to recent polls, do not believe it should have even been called in the first place.

Is Justin Trudeau Elected– Or Planted As Canada’s Prime Minister?

Perhaps it is the microscopic degree in which Cultural Action Party has followed Canadian politics for the past six years. To what extent our opinion on federal politics is shared remains an open question.

Is it our imagination, or does the current election smack of a previously experienced process of “going through the motions?”

Nowhere is this more prevalent than within media presentation. A five-week campaign period. To feign neutrality, Globe & Mail, National Post and the rest present Erin O”Toole’s Conservatives as the front runner. This being a logical extension of the data pollsters like Angus Reid and Nanos project upon the public.

As if scripted in a CBC television production, over the final two weeks Justin Trudeau’s Liberals begin to gain momentum As it occurred in 2015 and 2019, Toronto Star and such begin to roll out uncut gems designed to crush the opposition.

The CBC is the media arm of the Liberal Party of Canada

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau joined the CBC for a town hall with undecided voters on Tuesday night. This provided the perfect contrast to show how differently the CBC and host Rosemary Barton treat Trudeau, versus how they treated Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole one night earlier.
