Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC

Lorne Gunter;

The CBC has retracted a second story it reported about the Freedom Convoy that turned out to be fake.

The first was the absurd allegation that somehow Russians were behind the scenes pulling the convoy’s strings in an effort to destabilize the Canadian government.

On the Jan. 28 edition of CBC’s Power and Politics, host Nil Koksal asserted, “there is concern that Russian actors could be continuing to fuel things as this protest grows or perhaps even instigating it from the outside.”

There was no Russian involvement, nor, as it turned out, any involvement by any other foreign power. Financial investigators couldn’t find a conspiracy by white supremacists, either – another of the Trudeau government’s biased allegations that the CBC swallowed whole.

A second CBC news story, that was corrected this week, involved allegations made by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, that the convoy could only have raised all the money it did (nearly $10 million, twice, on two different crowdfunding platforms), as quickly as it did, if powerful international interests were funnelling in large sums. […]

Even the government’s own terror-financing investigators could find no sign of illegal money going to the convoy.

  1. Have they retracted the other fake news story about some clown advisor who has knowledge the protesters were trying to overthrow the government?

  2. No problem, they can retract them all now. The protest was quashed and public opinion was formed. Don’t expect any Liberal/NDP voters to find out there was a retraction. Much less take the time to read what the falsehood was.

  3. The reason the Libranos want to shutdown the Oil and Gas industry in Alberta is so they can maintain their Gaslight monopoly in Ottawa. Its simple, really.

  4. If tinkering with facts to manipulate opinion is their thing there’s no point listening to CBC.

  5. Vlad Putin called, he said he would give me ten bucks if I would say Trudeau is an a-hole.

    I said save your money, bro, you’re gonna need it. I am happy to do it for free.

    But if you want to do it for ten bucks, call this number:

    1-800-INVADER

    Ask for Vlad. He’s the short balding guy with the rocket launcher.

  6. They are terrified.
    Bouncy castles, prayer meetings, and refusing to tug the forlock to Justin the dictator.

  7. No one who follows the CBC has noticed a retraction.
    Bouncy castle honk honkeys are bad. Karen hates flags on trucks and phantom honking.
    BC is now mask free, but I saw Karens today with masks and uptight mannerisms.
    The damage is done.

  8. It wouldn’t surprise me, however, to learn that Justin’s Jackboots were on loan from the Clinton Foundation.

  9. “CBC swallowed” LOLOLOL how did it taste? Actually thought it was the other way around. Can’t tell who swallowed who anymore.

  10. Anyone have any links to the retractions? Gunters article only ends off with an assertion that CBC issued a clarification.
