Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

What a bunch of condescending crap. The media has chosen to cheerlead for the bastards who are working to tear western society apart at the seams; correction, not just cheerlead but actively take a leading role. Is it any surprise that they get covered in the sh!t that they are throwing, or that people smell the sh!t they are pedalling and throw it right back at them.
Here’s a hint media, stop pretending that you are the innocent victim here. You are not the victim, you are the perp.
“Why do people hate us? We’re the good guys! . . . We don’t make cars crash. We don’t bomb civilians. . . . The profession attracts people with an affinity for underdogs.”
What a victim. What tripe. Completely ignores that, while they may not cause the car crashes, they do bond together in their liberality and create a powerful force for the election of the Trudeaus and the Clintons of the world. You, know, those underdogs.
Reporters always want to act as if they were the blameless scribes with a passion for keeping us informed. They want the mantle of the selfless blameless servant of the people, nobly spreading information amongst us.
And then the “progressive” masses of them conspire and lie and suppress in service to their own chosen political philosophy.
No, you’re not the brave Fourth Estate ensuring liberty. You’re campaign workers seeking to fool us. Go away.
You nailed it Kate! Jour-no-lists are living in an alternative universe. What’s difficult to understand is how so many who earn so little can line up with the authoritarian status quo.
I like how he refers to journalists as “professionals”, a “profession”. I wasn’t laughing at that but I find it pretty funny, a good joke. A fumbling bunch of ignorant cultural degenerates, flunkies doing the bidding of various masters (mostly their advertising revenue sources, but increasingly political operatives). The script readers on TV are pure theater, public entertainers. To be fair, journalists of all sorts financially profit by attracting an audience so they have to dumb it down a lot.
Oh it’s obvious why they line up, they want to be on the government payroll and be set for life, that’s not really possible in a democracy so they go with the globalist totalitarian dream.
A brilliant quote by Hunter S. Thompson about the press.
Not flattering, and not safe for work:

What a bunch of condescending crap and what tripe is right as well as is Kate’s header. Bingo to all the comments above.
Political bias is the media’s biggest fault. Almost 100% shilling for the left. CTV never had anything good to say about Harper during the last federal election. CBC was worse. The National Post’s Ivison and Coyne kept telling us how rotten Harper was and what a gift to Canada the Shiny Pony was, and now they seem on the odd day to have buyer’s remorse.
A pox on all the press. They are the cause of the mess the west is in.
yop, you’re right, that’s what they want, but the sad truth is the vast majority of people who call themselves journalists earn less than minimum wage. You’d think that that truth might impact the perspective from which these stories are written. What’s sad is how noveau bourgeosie the “successful” journalists are. Once they make a decent living or better they line up with the globalist, authoritarian status quo and toe the party line.
“Why do people hate us?”
We hate you because you routinely side with those who want to kill us. We hate you because you hold our culture and our values in contempt and continue crusading against them. We hate you because you no longer report but spin and lie instead. We hate you because you censor [and then you dare to bitch that others are censoring you]. We hate you because you demand public subsidies in order to lie to us more. FOAD, the sooner the better.
Hope that addresses your question.
One who hates you.
Anyone with any awareness knows the field is rotten with alphabet agency infiltration.
They exist to support and promulgate a narrative and they are amply rewarded for it.
They are traitors and deserve a traitor’s fate.
Well stated and here’s a recent example.
At the Stanley trial you had to read alternative media accounts to find out that the kid who was shot was in possession of a loaded gun between his legs, oh sorry not a gun, the ms media said it was a rifle barrel.
And they wonder why the public tunes the media out.
Hey media, we despise you, we really really have no respect you.
And don’t trust you. Occasionally you lie, but more often you just deliver facts selectively.
And we know, deep down, that you hate us, or at least those of us who didn’t go to to the same schools as you, or belong to the favoured groups that you like to write about, while ignoring so much else going on around us.
I hope your industry goes into the toilet where it belongs.
We despise you because you never got over Watergate and the Pentagon Papers. You play gotcha journalism all the time.
It’s terrible the conditions these poor journalists have to work under.
I suggest we all go on an hunger strike until conditions improve for the poor little fellers.
Who wants a burger?
I’m buying!
After all they told us you can be on a hunger strike and eat all you want.
Dig in, maybe we should have some fish soup for an appetizer?
Sounds like a rerun of Laurel and Hardy.
poor wee victim,”Look what you made me do”.
Better comments that mine above,sums the Presstitutes up .
They make no secret of their contempt,hatred and fear of the working practical man.
They feel mocked every time they rub up against competent people, but they mock themselves far more than we would ever find time for.
Ezra Levant demonstrated real news reporting,something unseen in Canada for decades.
People choose to engage in road blockages and public protests.CTV..CBC,Print media, fawns over them never asks;”Who are you,what do you want? How can you afford to do this?
Ezra’s interviews of “professional protester, peace keeping cop, lying do-gooder” all TV gold.
The fear Sun TV introduced in our endless protest cliches was measurable.
As the Oatmeal Savage said: “CBC said a woman was on week 3 of a hunger strike, Ezra counted her chins”.
Now after blowing their cover promoting Justine the Fool and fawning over his/her hair, they complain that every one assumes they are still spinning.
And insist we should respect their authority.
We hate you because we can read your Twitter feeds.
I have been pondering it, and any jurisdiction that does not allow a write in on a ballot, IS NOT FREE.
Let’s take elections Canada.
You have to PAY THEM to get your name on the ballot; barrier to entry.
You have to meet ALL THEIR CRITERIA to get your name on the ballot; barrier to entry.
A place, that raises barriers to entry in the political sphere, is a straight up tyranny. FULL STOP.
What possible reason could there be, that they get to decide who leads you?
It’s only a profession if you go to jail for not being a “Reasonable Person”.
I don’t think journalism or presstitution have any such punishments. Duranty still has a Pulitzer (an award named after a yellow journalism practitioner).
If you think ‘the media’ is one homogenous collective that is against you and all that’s good, you’re dumb. The right likes to throw a fit and run away to echo-chambers of ignorance like Breitbart at the fist sign ‘the media’ doesn’t support their line. That liberals don’t explains in part why things are the way they are. Papers are businesses and if liberals pay the $ and conservatives don’t, guess who they will tilt to.
“Papers are businesses and if liberals pay the $ and conservatives don’t, guess who they will tilt to.”
If this is your idea of a sound business plan then you might be a liberal (or Newsweek).
UnMe – should be DumbMe
As usual the resident librarian apologist tries to make the tail wag the dog.
“Papers are businesses and if liberals pay the $ and conservatives don’t, ”
No you dipshit, conservatives do not buy media because the media cater to liberals, not the other way arround.
“If you think ‘the media’ is one homogenous collective that is against you and all that’s good, you’re dumb. ”
Ugh really dipshit?
https://www.dailywire.com/news/18054/5-statistics-show-media-bias-real-aaron-bandler
1. Only 7% of journalists are Republican.
2. In 2016, not a single White House reporter was a Republican.
3. 96% of media donations to presidential candidates went toward Hillary Clinton in 2016.
4. 51% of newspaper and Internet publishing jobs are in counties that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 by over 30 points.
5. 80% of the media coverage in Trump’s first 100 days as president was negative.
You were saying dipshit?
Modeling media bias is a new science. Not reporting modeling the bias itself, yep it is so much fun: https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/culture-beaker/unbiased-computer-confirms-media-bias
So please dipshit, kindly stop making sounds while flapping your guns and put them to better use fellating your mooselimb overlords.
“Papers are businesses and if liberals pay the $ and conservatives don’t, guess who they will tilt to.”
Yah.
How is that working out for them?
Circulation& subscription numbers are skyrocketing?
Seems Liberals do not like spending their own money, thats why the current govt of Canada is currently discussing subsidizing their little media darlings, with taxpayers dollars.
Like you they seem oblivious to the obvious..Canadians do not value the crap these “businesses” produce enough to pay for it.
Just curious, did you read the article?
Or were there too many long words for you?
one of my most blistering calls to the local LIEberal mp related to TURDoo’s attempt to turn the failing print media into a propaganda voice replete with the 50 million in funding proposed in the budget that will balance itself in 2045.
I compared it to Pravda and any of the marxist official rags in Chirer, Cooba, East Germany, N Korea, certainly lots of examples.
further proof TURDoo is deep down a hard core communist.
