We are seeing the end of the days where mainstream media is not held accountable and can get away with lying by omission. Their power is slipping and they hate it.
Another fascinating rabbit hole is examining key Journalist's "other income streams", not just their "main pay packet", from a media outlet. Turn over rocks & la! Journalists receive e g: speaking engagement fees, consulting fees, ghost writer fees and ... Think Tank Senior Consultant fees.
An egregious and glaring offender, in Australia, is the holier than thou, iconic Aboriginal, Court Intellectual Mr Stan Grant. This sacred journo, carefully, beautifully coiffed highlights in his distinguished grey and pepper dome, is a leading "Journalist" in the Australian Broadcasting Company (the ABC, 100% gov) & the Special Broadcasting Company (SBS, 100% gov).
He's thrown a pro Russian (actually russian speaking Ukrainian) young man OUT, OFF SET whilst Live, on Q&A (leading pol/talk show) for defending Russia, questioning the "Narrative".
So, "Uncle Bom", Stan the man, is ALSO A SENIOR CONSULTANT to the Australian Strategic Institute, a Canberra (our Capitol) Think Tank. 🤔 FUNDED by DARPA, Boeing, Northrop Grumman et al.
UNCLE BOM IS A STOOGE for the Amerikan Military Industrial Media Complex.
Who'd a thunk it? Race traitor, traitor to the Australian nation, and a lieing fuck pretend journo, promulgating War & Empire to his people.
Maybe Musk's still has some reckoning to do about other subject, BUT the attitude he takes to restore some sense of free-speech and democracy has to be commendable. Any news media which is still going along with the narrative our leaders are stuck to are as guilty as those who carries ''one size fits all, making people sick or worst? If we do not wake-up faster... we will be under a regime no one will appreciate... than it will be too late? What keeps the news to be reported accurately? I wonder?
The reason I am informed is because I stopped watching the official news over a decade ago. Being over 80 springs gives me some background to see through the lies!
Musk's handling of this situation has been fun to watch. I feel like he knows he can do whatever he wants at the moment, and while that is scary in some regards, in others it is fun. I still feel you're on the mark with your assessment of Musk...each story proves it further. It's hard to read sometimes, but something is for sure going on.
Yep, it's the unpredictable billionaire effect lol There are plenty of things I don't approve of with Musk, but people are a little naïve in thinking change on this planet will be clean and clear... it's going to be messy, and brought about by a number of different faces and in different ways. It has been interesting watching people bend over backwards trying to find agenda in EVERYTHING... I get why, but sometimes the simplest answer is correct: Musk isn't easy to predict, and he may not be on anyone's "side."
I find the reporting on the Emergencies Act and truckers abysmal and unacceptable. I don't think the average Canadian fully appreciates how cynical the government and media behaved. Nor do they seem to grasp the seriousness of the precedent set. Including the chilling effect on the right to assembly and protest and the freezing of bank accounts.
Canada, to me, lost its moral authority to lecture any county on freedom and democracy. We will need to earn back the trust of people and nations who see through the hypocrisy.
I think our behaviour also has a negative impact on relations with our allies. For example, the CCP's alleged interference in our elections and our refusal to deal with it. It's a Canadian habit of not doing anything.
Look at Five Eyes. The U.S., UK and Australia seem to have splintered off. In the past, it would have been a given Canada would be invited, but this time we were frozen out. The Aussies immediately reacted when they learned that the CCP interfered in their elections. This tells me Canada can no longer be trusted.
There's no reason at all to not have a registry and update the criminal code outlawing foreign interference in our elections. None. Zero. This can easily be done. You don't need an inquiry or the farcical theatrics of a compromised and known China-sympathizing 'rappoteur' to do the basics and send the right signal to our allies.
But that would take courage and leadership. Something we sorely and embarrassingly lack in Canada.
We act less like a country and more like a colony.
Canadian citizens are better off being 'frozen out' of the trilateral security partnership called "AUKUS." In a conflict with China, Australia will be incinerated as a message to the other two signatories.
Last night I listened to an interview with a professor Khoo at uni. of Otago in NZ and he suggested that both Canada and New Zealand would probably have potential future engagement with "Pillar 2" of AUKUS, focusing on non-nuclear defence technologies.
"Canada, to me, lost its moral authority to lecture any county on freedom and democracy. We will need to earn back the trust of people and nations who see through the hypocrisy."
In this sense, Canada has been becoming like the US. To me, the US is just a few decades ahead when it comes to cultural decline. If we can continue to become aware as humans we can stop this process of decline, but a part of me feel it may need to get worse before getting better still.
I think when anyone refers the the US or the Americans, it might be time to make a difference between the people and the ''leaders'' who are the same for centuries, maybe decades, regardless of the party! I follow the Us politics closely, for many reasons, one of them: I was married to a New Yorker for 46 yrs! I got most, if not ALL my reel info's from Americans from the end of 2019! I also think it cannot become that much worst, because we might all be dehumanized or surveilled beyond major damages!
indeed. It's why I wish I could be on the inside of CBC right now to know what they are saying behind closed doors. Are they actually of the belief that they are not highly protective of government narratives? Or do they know this label is fair, but can't agree with it publicly... somehow I think it's the former.
The Canadian govt. narrative is not original; it's global, esp. Australia, NZ, being implemented in stages, and with taxpayer funded media. Most governments are currently working on, or passing legislation to censor print, speech, social media, that does not comply with the narrative.
Brilliant way to expose the biased media platforms, they have little leverage to counter this!

I just find Musk adjusting the figure to 68% funded quality trolling.
lol I found it to be comical trolling as well. Where the joke doesn't take away from the power of the truth.
Defund and boycott the cbc and all government tax payer funded state media. The fear monger, lie, hide the truth and spew propaganda.

Fair enough. But I would have preferred it to have been done on our terms.
We will have lucked out more than anything in your scenario.

I find both countries have crossed paths. This is why both Justin and Biden (and their respective parties) sound so alike now.
Very well said
Saying the CBC, the Communist Broadcasting Corp. was Labelled was like calling a tree Vertical.
Not so much a label as a description of the fascist truth.
indeed. It's why I wish I could be on the inside of CBC right now to know what they are saying behind closed doors. Are they actually of the belief that they are not highly protective of government narratives? Or do they know this label is fair, but can't agree with it publicly... somehow I think it's the former.
