Anatomy Of A Media Smear

Black Rod;

Let’s start with the story on the taxpayer funded CBC by Sarah Petz that can be summed up in the lead.
 
“A February incident where an off-duty Winnipeg officer allegedly knocked a suspect unconscious wasn’t reported to the province’s police watchdog, and one criminologist says it shows how flawed oversight of law enforcement can be.”
 
There you have it. A policeman, not even on duty, knocked out a “suspect” and the violence by an officer of the law isn’t even being investigated by the “police watchdog.” It touches all the bases. Police, violence, cover-up.
 
But a different story emerges when you go deeper into the facts.

The Black Rod has been updated and the new look is a big improvement.

  1. Absolute scum. I openly mock anyone that mentions watching, listening to or reading cbc for anything other than another example of why canada sucks.

    Defund the CBC, by Alberta separating.

      1. Sadly true, I don’t see a separation.

        Aside from Edmonton, think of the many thousands of new Canadians who came to Canada, not a separate West. And let’s not forget our indigenous siblings, blockading trains while ironicay on the federal money train.

        If only Quebec had left in ’91.

      1. University of Winnipeg used to be a great university. Now it’s just “Pander to U”.

    1. More broadly, white supremacy sustains the current and systemic social, political, legal, and economic advantages enjoyed by white Canadians when compared to BIPOC communities.

      AND LET’S JUST KEEP IT THAT WAY … BECAUSE …

      We have been having some pretty good glimpses into who and what is trying to replace the white people system that built this formerly, wonderful nation. it looks a lot like a dull-witted, angry mob of Marxistst who pretend to love colored people and hate white people.

      That fact is … they hate everything including themselves, and did I mention they are dull-witted and many are outright, insane.

      Vote Trump if you are American and get used to PM Trudeau if you are unlucky enough to be Canadian.

  2. The more CBC et al do these things, the more citizens will become pseudo-journalists with nothing but their cell phones and Twitter feeds.

    One will see a greater crackdown of cell phones and other devices to avoid the spread of “fake news”.

    Of course, Canadians will comply.

  3. I like The Black Rod’s header;
    “Published since 2006 on territory ceded, released, surrendered and yielded up in 1871 to Her Majesty the Queen and successors forever.”

    Especially mentioning the territory was “ceded, released, surrendered and yielded up..forever.”
    If the Roughriders et al want to acknowledge the territory, they should/need to be saying, ceded territory,,, surrendered territory.

    THE ARTICAL WAS GREAT TOO!

    1. Yeah, that’s basically my take.

      I deny the term “settler” and demand to be called a “conqueror”.

      I mean, I get winded opening a twist off these days, but if I’m gonna be blamed for stuff my ancestors allegedly did, I’ll take the credit, too.

  4. The Racial Pimps are Communists….The real enemy they are attacking, behind their Smoke & mirrors, is “Capitalism”…..All the rest is BS nonsense…. The UN, CBC, Etc. are committed to Communism…..

    The idea that they are/can be reasonable is delusional… Anti-Capitalism is Communist. PERIOD

  5. A cop is violently attacked by 4 criminals and he kicks their asses and is criticized for being too physical. You can’t make this shit up.

  6. Police officers willingly unionized.

    Police unions support the unions at the CBC, at the CRA, at the Winnipeg Free Press.

    Is the police union doing anything to go after this member’s enemies?

    Police officers are not trying to decertify; that means they support whatever actions their union takes, and the actions they fail to take.

    I have no sympathy for anyone involved. If you want my help, begin by offering proof that you have started to help yourself. I refuse to do it for you; but I am willing to help you.

    The difference between enable, and assistance.

    1. Kevin, this isn’t about cop actions in general, it’s about reporting/fake news. Try keeping up!

    2. “I refuse to do it for you; but I am willing to help you.”

      Key words are precisely to the point.
      The difficulty here is that the “victims” don’t see it, don’t want to see it, close their eyes so they don’t have to see it, What they want is sympathy and your submission to their will.
      So far they are in charge with the support of the socialist extremists, the media cartel, the Communist Broadcasting Corporation and something called UNIFOR fascist orgainzation.

      End of story.

  7. Somebody is my new hero: I stopped reading after “Published since 2006 on territory ceded, released, surrendered and yielded up in 1871 to Her Majesty the Queen and successors forever.”

    I’m going to just savour that for a while, I’ll go back later to read the article.

  8. Well if CBC feels an off duty Cop must meet all the criteria of an on duty Cop,then by all means let us agree.
    Desperately needed funding will of course have to be taken from CBC and used to cover the 24hr/day 7 days a week pay for these never off duty protectors.
    I do not think 2 Billion a year will be enough,we will have to throw in CBC’s pension plan and sell off all the companies assets.When that is not enough then every possession of the employees and x employees must be seized ..for this cause..
    You know CBC employees will support this “essential service”.

  9. Well, that “prof” is definitely proof of three or four decades of grade inflation.

    Basically a “rent-a-rant”, who is ok with property crime because, after all, it doesn’t hurt anyone, and statistically (I doubt she could count her chins correctly), violent crime is committed for the most part by non-strangers.

    I wish you could say I’m making this up…

  10. My son is a 100% social justice warrior jerk. So the Winnipeg police department should do what I did to my son. I blocked his phone calls texts and emails. When you need assistance or help call somebody else.

    1. Similar story. Warned my daughter about the dangers of electing another Trudeau.
      She said she would have to learn for herself. After the election, all branches of the Mom and Dad bank were closed.
      Plus we I cashed in, and out, and the government could borrow money on her behalf to keep me pampered in OAS et al.
      There I sit today in semi-retirement, only because so many people need my services, given the entitled no show generation.
      Who did this to our children? Among others, we let it happen, allowing teachers and leftists to brainwash them into mediocrity.

      Edmund Burke: ” No man,who is not inflamed by vain-glory into enthusiasm, can flatter himself that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavours, are of power to defeat the subtle designs and united cabals of ambitious citizens. When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.”

      Not just men of course.

  11. “Journalists” used to get fired for this garbage; now they win Pulitzer Prizes.
