  1. Journalism is the only occupation in Canada that is not supposed to be affected by technology. Journalists will however gleefully write about other occupations that are no longer needed due to technology.

  2. Is there a single Liberal funded journalist in Canada that will admit that they have a massive financial conflict of interest by accepting government money?
    Or are they just too stupid to understand the concept?

  3. “Liberal-appointed”? I thought they were “independent senators”, not liberals. Are you suggesting that Justin, and they, are and always have been, lying to everyone?

    Perish the thought.

    OTTAWA — A Federal Court judge has upheld the government’s decision that far-right media outlet Rebel News doesn’t qualify for journalism tax credits because it doesn’t produce enough original content.
    Rebel News applied in May 2021 to be designated as a qualified Canadian journalism organization, but was rejected by the Canada Revenue Agency, which found that less than one per cent of its content was original news.
    The outlet sought a judicial review in Federal Court, but in a decision Wednesday, Justice Ann Marie McDonald found the agency’s decision was reasonable.
    McDonald’s ruling notes that the revenue agency assessed 423 news reports from Rebel News and found that only 10 were original.

  5. Build it and they will come.. It hardy matters why you think you need censorship.. It will always end up covering your own misdeeds.. Just another tool in the toolbox..

  6. Yeah, Douglas Murray’s speech about the Canadian media was both funny and accurate at the Munk Debate a year ago. The Canadian media are state funded, state approved and state directed. You would think Canadian journalists would be embarrassed for selling out their professional ethics and personal integrity but apparently not. Beggars can’t be choosy, I guess.

    1. “You would think Canadian journalists would be embarrassed for selling out their professional ethics and personal integrity…”

      Except they are all essentially socialists/communists whose primary allegiance is to the cause.

      Were Pravda and Izvestia “journalists” in the USSR embarrassed? Nope. They proudly supported the Party.

  7. “… Senator Moncion. She expressed concern with the spread of “misinformation” and “disinformation” by the media.”
    Note the ever so light thoughts of the senator? Nothing real just an idle talk. Too bad she gets paid for the garbage.

    Is it not true that Moncion is, in fact, an agent of “misinformation” and “disinformation” ?

    Just a note, could you make the edit window larger?
