Okay, let me put this as succinctly as possible. It's NOT a free press when it's been bought and paid for, regardless of who provided the cash incentive. Jesus man, it's like talking to a brick wall.
Trudeau calls trucker protest an 'insult to truth'
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
And absolutely no media groups have both print and video formats, right?
Thing is that the opinion piece you linked is almost 3 years old and since then the government gave another $60 million, again, to print media.
I am pretty sure the non print media did not get much (CBC notwithstanding
) except the wage subsidy that all corporations and companies could apply for.
I only responded to your statement "No, it's wrong and corrupt when media outlets are paid $600 million by a govt to "maintain their independence".
If you want to be more precise , then be so and provide media groups that have print and video.
I still say - broaden your horizons cuz your schtick doesn't do you any justice LOL. Watch the MSM but don't simply take their crap as credible. There are alternative opinions out there and you actually can learn things - I know I do!! Just sayin'
Reason I ask is, if it's something done by both major parties when in power, it ain't exactly the Great Big Conspiraceeee it'd be if it'd never been done before.
Of course it's a bribe. But in some systems, bribes are normal.
If anyone has an insult to the truth it's Trudeau! What he accuses Canadians albeit truckers or otherwise is what HE actually believes. HE is the racist & bigot. Just needs to look in the mirror!! He is the most asinine Leader in our country's history.
32% support the convoy according to a Liberal poll taker far from a small minority
Where did you read that wanted any justice??? LOL
I don't have a "schtick", I have an opinion, just like you. Do you need to agree with me? Heavens no but, you have ot respect that I do not have agree with yours or others either. Some are more vehemently opposed to what I write than others and they are so easily baited.
I read and watch many sources of media except fringe left or right media.
I agree that there are alternative opinions but I do not read or watch those from self identified left or right wing or political party associated media.
Just sayin
I agree that Trudeau is handling this very poorly, as are most politicians and police authorities.
As for being the "most asinine leader" well that is debatable depending on your political allegiance.
Seems that almost everybody in Quebec and Ontario at least liked him enough to make him the PM 3 times. Many must have disliked the other "asinine leaders" more.
CBC is not print media. All the rest have web sites with video content so I'm not sure that still qualifies them as print media.
Several recipients are accused of using bailout money for executive bonuses while laying off reporters.
It is wrong for government to finance media companies of any kind.
Are you really that daft?? You aske me if I had reading comprehension issues and it is clearly that has that LOL
I said
"I think it was only print media that got the bail out.
Of course, all companies could request wage support/\.".
CBC is a electronic (tv, radio and web) news outlet, and is a government funded company. The bail out was for print media. I have posted a link to all the print media that got bailed out.
Try and be an adult. LOL
After you. So you admit CBC has been bailed out by the long suffering taxpayer?
Ontario is a huge province, with a most of the vote coming from Toronto. Other than the GTA and probably Ottawa, most of the province can't stand the guy. I imagine Quebec is similar, with Montreal and Quebec City calling the shots.I agree that Trudeau is handling this very poorly, as are most politicians and police authorities.

More importantly there are facts out there that the paid for media either ignores or outright lies about.
The $600 Million that Trudeau doled out to select media outlets 3yrs ago was what I thought was being talked about, & thus the CBC blurb current to that timeframe.Thing is that the opinion piece you linked is almost 3 years old and since then the government gave another $60 million, again, to print media.
I am pretty sure the non print media did not get much (CBC notwithstanding
Once again, are you truly that unaware??
The CBC has been bailed out by government for decade upon decade. The government is the CBC rich uncle, it gives them money annually....and lots of it. Almost all of the 36 million Canadians know that LOL
Enough of Ontario and Quebec liked him to vote him back. Even the Maritimes and some Western ridings liked him too. I think BC has 15 liberal MP's and Alberta 2 and Manitoba 2.
So, there is more than just Toronto

Eh, I gotta disagree on people here in the Maritimes liking Trudeau.
It's more the "my family is Liberal" and "We're French, we don't vote Conservative" that got Liberals in, at least in NB.
Trudeau's an idiot and getting moreso but he's the 'best' idiot there was at the time. And so far, no one else has shown they'd be better, either.
