National Post- CBC lawsuit against Conservatives cost $400K, but cost was shielded from Parliament for years
“The Trudeau government has just given up on its promise of openness and accountability,” Plett told the National Post. “In this specific situation, we had to go around roadblocks that were set by the government to get an answer to my questions three years ago.”
“Somebody needs to be held accountable for this because we have the right to have these answers,” he added.
By the numbers. Read it all.
The Pew Research Center reported on November 10, “Newspapers are a critical part of the American news landscape, but they have been hit hard as more and more Americans consume news digitally. The industry’s financial fortunes and subscriber base have been in decline since the mid-2000s, and their website audience traffic has begun to decline as well.”
Let us fact-check that. The total circulation of all newspapers in the United States is 20 million. That is one newspaper sold for every 16 people. Even if 3 people read each newspaper, that means more than 80% of the country does not read a newspaper.
Just 14 years ago circulation was 45 million.
Online readership for the top 50 newspapers topped 13 million in 2020 and slid below 9 million two years later. Perhaps the return of President Trump to the ballot in November will restore the 13 million but even then newspaper circulation in print and online will reach only 33 million.
Pew Research Center also reported, “The total estimated advertising revenue for the newspaper industry in 2022 was $9.8 billion, based on the Center’s analysis of financial statements for publicly traded newspaper companies. This is down 5% from 2021, a slight drop. Total estimated circulation revenue was $11.6 billion, compared with $11.5 billion in 2020.”
A drop of only 5%?
Adjusted for inflation, that’s a big deal.
It took them long enough, but it seems the New Yorker has finally caught up with SDA.

Tom Luongo- The Great Reset is Dead, Long Live the Great Reset
Spoken like the true authoritarian that he is, Harari can only see violence and chaos. He’s not wrong. The violence and chaos coming, however, have their roots in his attempts (or complicity) in trying to force, through violence, a global order on humanity which humanity doesn’t want.
This push towards violence, however, can stop tomorrow. All that has to happen is for cretins like Harari, Soros, Schwab, Gates, and all the people behind them, to truly accept the fact that they have failed and cut a deal with us.

When you see these kinds of headlines, is it any wonder that customers are turning away from the mainstream media in droves? Apparently, the worst thing about gang rape is not the actual gang rape, but rather the possibility that political movements that the mainstream media doesn’t care for might gain ground because of it.
Last month’s alleged gang rape in Catania has become not only a symbol of violence against women in the country, but a cause célèbre for Italy’s far-right government. The seven suspected perpetrators were all Egyptian migrants, three of them under the age of 18, Catania police confirmed to CNN.
Yet in the latest case, officials have centered their attention on the background of the alleged perpetrators.
As if the background of a rapist would be an irrelevant consideration.
The judge investigating the most recent case, Carlo Umberto Cannella, said the suspects were likely to reoffend because they were not “accustomed to civilization.”

Pretty good interview, unless you still retained a faint hope that our Western leaders were Putin’s intellectual equal, then … whoo boy.

Broadcast Dialogue- Most noon, weekend CTV newscasts cancelled as part of cuts at Bell Media
Almost all local noon and weekend newscasts on CTV will come to an end as part of a massive workforce reduction at Bell Media announced today that will see 4,800 staff positions eliminated.
Most Canadians think the bought and paid for media is untrustworthy.
It’s a basic fact of economics that it’s not the entrepreneur who determines wages, but the marginal consumer. Gig workers in Seattle are discovering that truth the hard way.
The Pay Up Legislation, as the city regards it, was meant to improve wages for gig workers by entitling them to “minimum pay,” or in other words, pay based on the time worked and miles traveled for each offer.
“Sundays before the ordinance,” Lardizabal. “You know, we’d be thinking breakfast. Today, I didn’t even touch it. They’re not going to order. It is definitely backfiring.”
“Assuming that you are working constantly, then yes, you’re going to be making that much money. But that’s not what’s happening right now. Because people are not ordering as much anymore. The tips are going down because they think we’re making all this money.”

During a recent discussion on CNN, anchors Erica Hill and Phil Mattingly were stunned to learn that illegal immigrant criminals in New York City spend the profits of their crimes in Florida but don’t commit crimes in the Sunshine State because … wait for it … Florida arrests and convicts people for committing crimes. The fact that these two “journalists” didn’t immediately understand this is breathtaking. Matt Walsh has an hilarious take on this.
