The story of the day for Canada’s mainstream media seems to be that Justin Trudeau shaved his pandemic beard.
A bare-faced Trudeau appeared at a media availability Wednesday, sparking a flurry of tweets and giddy election speculation from Canada’s press.
Just last week, the Austin American-Statesman refused to provide the description of a black man suspected of participating in a mass shooting in Texas because it “could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes.”
Now, the Poynter Institute for Media Studies is calling for selective covering of crime in American communities — this coming amid a major crime surge in Democrat-run cities across the country, happening in the vacuum of the party’s “Defund the Police” campaign that not only demonized law enforcement, but has police officers back on their heels.
This week, Project Veritas spoke with April Moss of CBS 62 in Detroit about the local affiliate’s continued efforts to “discriminate” against anyone who disputes COVID-19 regulations handed down by the corporate headquarters in New York. At one point, she referred to CBS’ reporting methods as “propaganda being pushed on individuals,” and she claimed that discrimination had occurred, with the station “segregating coworkers” based on health beliefs.
“The Washington Post’s Laura Meckler spent three weeks preparing a hit piece against me,” Ruffo said Sunday on Twitter, adding that the newspaper used five “flat-out lies” to smear him. “This is how the media lies.”
The WaPo article, which was published on Saturday, placed Rufo at the center of a Republican push to attack CRT and use it as a political weapon to portray Democrat policies as extreme, scary and anti-American. Meckler attempted to show that Rufo has misled the public about the nature of CRT and has made claims about training materials that go further than the documents that he cites.
Watch out, Al Jazeera, the CBC is on your turf. When it comes to presenting a particularly one-sided view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the controversial Qatari network will have to work to keep up with the platoon of CBC activis… er, journalists, who think their taxpayer-funded network (and all news organizations) must become even more negative toward Israel than they already are.
Brian Stelter is under attack.
Well, not literally. But lately, some major media (and political) names – Glenn Greenwald, Joe Rogan, The Daily Wire (with a boost from Donald Trump’s email distribution list) – have come for Stelter, criticizing the ratings of his weekly CNN show for media-watchers, Reliable Sources.
Stelter, certainly, can hold his own against these attacks; after years of fielding insults from Sean Hannity, Kennedy, Donald Trump, Jr., and others, the 35-year-old author and host appears generally unbothered by the attempts at mean-spirited zingers.
“More broadly is that these are people who are reflexive defenders of the regime, the establishment, the people who already have power and don’t need defending,” Carlson said on the show. “And I just find that a grotesque orientation for journalists. I mean, the whole point, the reason we exist is to push back on behalf of people who have no power against people who do. Period.”
“I’ve been reluctant to refer to our public broadcaster as a government broadcaster but this sealed it for me – it has become the government broadcaster running interference for PMJT at every turn,” said Alan Fryer.
CBC closing vile Facebook commentary a late but welcome move
The CBC’s decision to close comments for a month on news stories posted on its Facebook page is very much locking a stable door several years after the horses have left the vicinity, but still welcome.
Brodie Fenlon, CBC News editor-in-chief and executive director for daily news, has had the top job for just over a year. He’s proof that new editors bring new energy and can make tough decisions that reflect the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.
As it is, many of the public comments on CBC reporting have been fact-free, paranoid, obsessive and vicious. It is expensive to moderate these feeds, exhausting and upsetting for reporters to endure them year over year.
God forbid “journalists” should have to deal with the great unwashed!
Australian Sky News pundits laugh at how the U.S. corporate media hype the JoeBama administration while the world laughs at the G7 pantomime on display.
Some of the largest media outlets in the United States have not reported on Hunter Biden’s repeated use of the N-word in text messages to his lawyer.
The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC have all stayed silent on the matter, according to searches of their respective websites.
Biden’s texts were revealed earlier this week by the Daily Mail and showed President Joe Biden’s son casually using the racial slur in correspondence with his lawyer, George Mesires.
We were treated to what at first appeared to be rare mea culpa this week as reporters read the Department of the Interior inspector general’s report on the riots and police response in Lafayette Park last summer and appeared shocked to find that the Park Police and Attorney General Bill Barr and even President Donald Trump were telling the truth when they said the crowd was going to be dispersed before police knew the president was thinking of coming down there.
Everything wrong with journalism today can be summed up in one remarkable news story: the theory that COVID-19 leaked from a lab in China.
HuffPost reporter S.V. Dáte said the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol is “1000 percent worse” than the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which resulted in the death of nearly 3,000 people, repeating the charge touted by many leftists in the weeks following the incident.
Two journalists from Canada’s national broadcaster say they’ve been barred from covering the ongoing violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories after signing an open letter calling for more nuanced coverage.
On May 14, an “open letter to Canadian newsrooms on covering Israel-Palestine” began circulating online. The letter, which has now been signed by more than 2,000 people, including many journalists, said Canadian media does not include enough context or Palestinian voices when covering “the ongoing nature of the Israeli occupation.” It ended by asking for “fair and balanced coverage” of the conflict.
