This week, the CBC apologized after blowing an election call for the mayoral race in Quebec City. The CBC’s bungled call led to the wrong candidate rushing to the podium to mistakenly deliver her victory speech. So much for being a “beacon for truth.”
The state broadcaster continues to publish awful opinion pieces – this week, they claim climate change is caused by racism and white supremacy. Is anybody really surprised by how far-left the CBC is these days?
A recent Gallup poll found that only 36 per cent of U.S. adults trust legacy media to report the news fairly, accurately and fully. Another third of Americans said they have no trust in the mass media at all, a finding that was particularly pronounced among Republicans and political independents.
Last Friday morning, Statistics Canada greeted the country with a monthly employment report that, by any reasonable assessment, was good news.
Jobs increased by a modest but healthy 31,000 in October, adding to September’s surge of 157,000 jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 6.7 per cent, the lowest since the pandemic began. Full-time employment accounted for all the gains. Private-sector hiring rose by 70,000. Hours worked were up. Wages were up.
But to hear the Conservative opposition’s spin, this was all very bad news indeed. It was smoking-gun evidence of economic mismanagement at its worst.
According to NBC News, a man who alleged in a lawsuit that he was fired from a hospital system because he is a white man has been awarded a $10 million verdict by a North Carolina jury.
Duvall said in the suit that he was “terminated without cause as part of an intentional campaign to promote diversity in its management ranks, and that he was fired due to his sex and race.”
A web search delivers just one example of this story being published by Canadian media. CBC, CTV, Globe & Mail, Toronto Star, National Post deliver nothing. We hereby speak of an unprecedented legal case with significant social ramifications. In other words, a potential game-changer.
The public’s trust in news outlets is among the lowest in the free world, a trend that has spiraled downward for years and appears to continue to do so.
Regardless if it is trust in legacy or alternative media, the decline since President Joe Biden took office has registered in double digits, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Media Trust Index shared with Secrets.
The extent to which corporate media rigs elections for Democrats has been rigorously documented since at least Tim Groseclose’s 2012 book, “Left Turn.” In that book, the political scientist concluded through data-driven analysis that media bias on average shifts the electorate 20 points to the left on a 100-point political worldview scale. Without media bias, he argued, the average American state would be as Republican-leaning as Texas or Kentucky, and those two states would be even more conservative.

Politico still held on to the hope that some of the emails revealed last year were fake, adding this line in their piece: “…it remains possible that fake material has been slipped in.”
Perhaps it is the microscopic degree in which Cultural Action Party has followed Canadian politics for the past six years. To what extent our opinion on federal politics is shared remains an open question.
Is it our imagination, or does the current election smack of a previously experienced process of “going through the motions?”
Nowhere is this more prevalent than within media presentation. A five-week campaign period. To feign neutrality, Globe & Mail, National Post and the rest present Erin O”Toole’s Conservatives as the front runner. This being a logical extension of the data pollsters like Angus Reid and Nanos project upon the public.
