Rough Week For Journalism

For the past three years, all we've heard was about the alleged plot to kill the press - among so many other things including deliberately wants to crash the markets and eliminating gay rights - by Literal Hitler Trump.

That is not to say bad things aren't happening to the press. There are.

It's just that it's not coming from Trump. Here are a couple of examples in Canada and the USA.

In California, the political class saw in its infinite stupidity to eliminate free lance journalism. This is what you get in a state ruled by one party. You get stale and increasingly - by the day it seems - tyrannical laws. It's no surprise or secret California is experiencing a net loss in migration as people flee the state. Sadly, they're likely to bring the same shitty politics to 'backwards' places they invade.

I don't feel bad for these journalists. They probably cheered years of various invasive and dictatorial Democrat laws. They always thought they'd be safe. And now the long vicious tail of Leviathan has come for them.

During the election in Canada, the CBC (can I get a "Defund the CBC wut, wut?"decided to sue the conservative party for copyright infringement claiming images used during the were for political purposes. 

Serving the interests of all Canadians my ass.

What's particularly galling is the casual manner to which liberal journalists call people 'trolls'. Peter Mansbridge in defending Barton said as much. Apparently, concerned Canadians are 'trolls' now. Just like those who are upset by the SNC-Lavalin scandal are depicted as 'trolls' by those in left-wing media protecting Justin.

That's some lazy, pompous shit from Peter.

Truth is, they don't like the people all that much. Especially when they challenge their narratives. Hence, all this 'alt-right' and 'white supremacy is on the rise' unsubstantiated nonsense.

You can forgive, of course if people see nothing but cynicism here given media was given a bribe to the tune of $600 million by the Trudeau Liberals. Fair or not, the optics aren't good. In fact, they're terrible.

According to Rebel Media, as soon as the election ended, Justin then turned around and sued Rebel Media (NDP leader Rachel Notley did the same when she was busy running Alberta into the ground as all socialist parasites are wont to do. It takes a special talent to destroy things that which you didn't build I suppose). The dictatorial baby doesn't like RM because it pretty much asks 'mean' questions.

I do take RM with some grain of salt but I also feel they do a good service. Regardless, it's freedom of the press and feel compelled to defend it on those grounds alone.

There's also the shenanigans from the Leader Debates Commission - a creation of the Liberal party that acts accordingly knowing the hands that feeds it and the comical Rosemary Barton - Donna Brazile North - feigning 'objective' moderating during the debates. I wouldn't mind some actual journalism looking into the LDC.

The conservative party wasn't above abusing RM when they played games with their accreditation. Scheer: You won't win points playing nice with the left. They don't care. Grow a pair and a spine and actually advance conservative values. People will respect you. Who knows? Maybe they'll vote for you.

These are just a couple of examples I've been reading. I don't like all these games. The interesting thing is all the attacks on the freedom of the press aren't by the hands of conservatives or Trump.

It's from the left.
