^ everyone keeps sharing that 2022 article.

Hope they don’t, they are the least lecture style of the major Canadian TV media organizations. Nothing I like less than a lecture.



They’d probably just spend the money on some dork to come lecture us.

I hope they dissolve into nothingness for their roll in blocking the dissenting voices who tried to bring reason and other viewpoints on the greatest pharmaceutical experiment on human kind ever performed. Also for their psychotic representation of people like me who simply said no and did all we could to support others in that position.

Wow.

[dasmo]

That’s how I felt being on the but end of their propaganda.

They have been scrubbing but not twitter. https://twitter.com/...8744321?lang=en

You get the point.

Imagine if article after article in the news for years talked about how octopuses should be put into camps and left to die. 

And then after that period pretend like nothing happened.

I won’t engage.

[dasmo]

That’s ok, I don’t expect you too. I’m only putting it out there so you might have some empathy for my position despite it differing than your own. The wow comment told me you have little understanding why I would feel that way about a corporate media establishment. No offence to you intended.

I don’t have a CT scan machine.

[dasmo]

That's why I opened up voluntarily.

Thank you Dasmo.

How they swing the companies around. Now it seems they are between a rock and a hard place. Investor and bankers pulling out or customers pulling out? https://www.unpri.or...rs/9393.article

Remember when they tried to make freedom a bad word? I do....

 

"For many, freedom is a malleable term — one that's open to interpretation.

That flexibility, in part, has fuelled its growth among certain groups, said Barbara Perry, director of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism at the Oshawa-based Ontario Tech University. "It is a term that has resonated…. You can define it and understand it and sort of manipulate it in a way that makes sense to you and is useful to you, depending on your perspective," she told Cross Country Checkup. It's also a term that has thrived among far-right groups, said Perry, one of a number of experts who say the presence of far-right groups in Canada is growing."

I long ago stopped trusting anything "experts" say. They invariably have a very personal and distinct agenda to push. If - and that's a BIG if - "far-right" groups are growing in Canada, the blame can be laid firmly at the feet of the "far-left".

The Athletic is changing the sports media landscape — though not necessarily in the way the founders may have intended.

 

Today, the outlet underwent major layoffs, axing 20 journalists from their team, which comprises approximately 4% of the outlet’s staff.
