CTV’s Randomly Selected Eco-Socialist In The Street Interview

James, via email;

CTV Ottawa just ran a story on its 6 o’clock news about Trans-Canada’s plan to run crude-oil through a natural gas pipeline that goes through eastern Ontario.
It did one interview with a “concerned resident”…this dickhead: Ian Angus.

They presented this interview without identifying him as the leftist, socialist, arsehole that he is. Just another “man in the street”.
I hope you can come up with the CTV Ottawa footage – I just don’t have the knowhow.

And I’m on the road and don’t have the time or resources. If someone can come up with the clip, pass it along. Dishonest agenda journalism or incompetence? You can mock them here.
Update: The clip is here along with a better Twitter link to the incompetent/dishonest reporter responsible: Joanne Schnurr.

Why bother? You won’t change the minds of idiots; you’ll just frustrate yourself and impair your health. Fcuk ’em.

Just one more example of the bias and dishonesty that are the trademarks of our MSM. Not only did they ‘omit’ to tell us who this guy was, they couldn’t find one property owner whose land the pipeline crosses to interview? Nobody from the industrial or commerce sectors?

Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, with pipe line rent/profit money hanging out of their pockets……..:-)))

As was said back in the 80’s,let the Eastern bastards freeze in the dark.The heck with nuking Iran. Nuke Ontario,especially the GTA/Ottawa.You get the benefits of killing off a whole class of parasites(politicians) and a bunch of shemen and metrosexuals.Sounds like a win-win.Or we could just spike the lattes with cyanide.

We’ve always known that the CBC is as biased a media source as exists on the planet, no surprise to find that CTV is just a half step behind them.

To tell the truth, CTV News just isn’t that bright. It is the dim-bulb version of CBC which, I accept, isn’t saying much.
I think that is more likely the reason the opinion of a leftie crackpot like Angus was accepted without further clarification.

The clip can be found here.

Ian Angus: … is a socialist and ecosocialist activist in Canada. Angus joined the New Democratic Party in 1962 and then the Young Socialists in Ottawa in 1964. He was active in the YS and the League for Socialist Action into the 1970s.
Uh huh.
Is this the best CTV can do? I detect desperation.

If I can figure out a mailing address I should send Ian Angus an “Area Man” T-shirt from The Onion.

Another illustration of the misinformation produced by the mass media and “journalists”.
Although this is nothing new, two or three years ago there was a write up on blogs about the NYT, where they interviewed man on the street. It turned out to be always the same man and the man was a “journalist” or some such. Of course they could do that since they did not put the picture of the guy by the interview.
What happened though, they did not called the guy “expert”. The editor must have missed that.

I always preferred Johnny LaRue’s Street Beef anyway.

See, this is why you can’t trust blogs. They’re biased, and they don’t abide by journalistic ethics, no layers and layers of fact-checking…

That’s ok we here in the Eeeeeeeeevil land of Alberta are building a large rail loading facility so we can load lots of rail cars and send them right through town instead of down a pipeline. This is good because pipelines are unsafe. Las, that last sentence is sarcasm.
Better yet the loading facility is an old abandoned methanol plant so the greenies can not tie it up in court for years.
Since the railroad can haul anything anywhere the plan here seems to be to end run everyone and starve them out. It also allows them to build the loading terminal on the west coast. Just think B.C. went from 8.5 billion to Zero in record time. Smart.

For purposes of mockery, here’s the tweet you want to reply to. https://twitter.com/ctvottawa/status/363071859790581761

Angus had a wild diatribe in a local paper last week full of all sorts of paranoid claims. He identified himself as an “environmental writer” but that did not do say the half of it. (The paer is published by a professor from Carleton who is a bit of an activist himself and never saw a conspiracy he didn’t like.)
