“This move is perfectly consistent with the current government’s incompetent handling of pretty much anything to do with the internet.”
Let me edit that sentence for you, Peter, in the interest of accuracy: “This move is perfectly consistent with the current government’s incompetent handling of pretty much anything.”
Everything is so nakedly ideological when it comes to the media these last 10 years, mainstream or not. It's either a hint or a hammer but in the end it's obvious which side they are on. Matt Taibbi Hate Inc. will be essential reading for future generations trying to understand this unraveling. The CBC is so nakedly partisan in favour of progressive causes while being completely financially unaccountable that they are in for a major reckoning. Apparently with Trump that reckoning is already here for U.S. news. The media gambled, called Trump a Russian asset a fascist and a racist too many times took sides and now they're reaping what they've sown. The public sees all this, especially conservatives and independents. That's why the biggest cheers Pollieve gets at his rallies is for defunding CBC. But we are up against a huge tech machine if the goal is democratizing the media landscape. Not only that but governments seem particularly keen these days to either directly or indirectly control the media. It'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.
"This move is perfectly consistent with the current government’s incompetent handling of pretty much anything to do with the Internet."
Replace "the Internet" with the word "everything" and you will have nailed the essence of these Liberals, the party of Chretien and Martin is dead.
As to Media, MSM-variant, yes i truly hope it is dead, i am tired of the endless gaslighting and outright lying.
Trump is a wrecking ball but not in the way most think. He is merely a trigger causing so many to destroy their credibility by doing anything to try and take him down.
I have watched Bill Maher for decades but he is a good example of beclowning oneself, he still pretends to be a classical Liberal but he sold his soul to TDS, i would like to see him publicly recant that nonsense or just retire. There are many others who should follow suit.
There are not many who held onto their credibility but Bari is one who shone. Add to that Matt Taibbi, Mike Schellenberger (not technically a journalist), Lee Fang, Glenn Greenwald, etc.
Funny thing has happened, all of those i listed above where i, a conservative, get much of my information, are all leftists. I disagree with them on some subjects but they are all creatures of the left, Rogan is also a leftist in many of his beliefs, all of them held their principles, they didn't leave the left the left ditched them on the march to woke/insanity and the attack on free speech.
Labels get tossed around all the time, but the lock step nature of the MSM with the woke progressive Democrat/Liberal agenda can only be described as fascism.
Without freedom of speech and access to information, our form of government and society dies.
There is NO-ONE who i trust to filter what information i can be trusted to see. Full stop. Especially intellectual nullities like Justin Trudeau.
Lots of people attacking Musk these days, which is fine, i don't agree with all his positions either, but his purchase of Twitter and exposing the internals of the censorship apparatus in the Twitter files is arguably the single most important thing that has occurred in the last decade.
Trump is a beneficiary of this knowledge and he needs to follow thru and kill it, but no matter what, Elon is the one most responsible for where we are at and i celebrate him for that.
Keep on keeping on Peter, yes CBC needs a thorough cleansing, i'm sick to death of "mass grave" comments, a 75% cull might start to fix things. They either do it themselves or Poilievre will do it for them.
Traditional Media did help Trump. Their non-accounting of the issues of our times, their blatant roles as tools for globalist agenda, the money they rake in to do so?
It's not what they cover and their bias, so much as the horrific omissions and what is knitted together under their uninterested noses.
I am a fierce supporter of Donald Trump. I used to ridicule his assertion of fake news.
Until I understood it. They made Donald Trump the hero he is across the world. Their vileness did. Because those of us who understand the march of globalism and the technocracy in it's grip, understand we are facing never before restrictions. With crickets and law fare from the globalist run media. All while war escalates on 3 fronts and national governments act with impossible never before seen coordinated incompetence, all simultaneously destroying per capita gdp, exercising no border globalist policies. That is reported not as complicit acts against nations states, but as happenstance.
States are being robbed at GDP scale levels. Censorship of the elements of the globalist agenda are performed in synchronicity by 'mefia' media mafia.
If the problem is a global problem you are stuck with globalist owned science, that justifies global governance schemes, all horrifically rolling out. Media is not bankrupt, they are the most antihuman organization in operation. The laws and global governance that are churning should give fright.
It's totalitarianism on the March. The key is only turned once assembled. Media justifies top down architecture of our cities, like a cabal is entitled to globally run it. If you scratch this surface on smart cities, complete streets, c40, Globalcovenantofmayors.org, road diets, cognitive cities, you get the scale of what isn't reported.
They made every one who observes this, hope fervently that he is so hated by the globalist architecture for precisely what he will do to the globalist agenda.
There is not just a begrudging acceptance of him. He is loved. I certainly am pro Trump and unapologetic about it. Make globalists shit their pants Mr. President.
And what rolls out on the heels of irrelevant media. Censorship of the internet.
Media is reviled by those who understand their sins.
Oh, if anyone still wonders why the MSM is cratering, just look at their response to Biden issuing a blanket pardon to Hunter for EVERYTHING he has done since 2014, many of which have not even been charged. Check out CNN and others to watch them cratering their personal titanic into the floor of the north atlantic at maximum velocity.
For those who are hard of learning, that pardon will also protect old Joe for every last bit of corruption in that decade.
Its not possible to overstate how badly this entire ediface needs to be destroyed
Excellent article. You have made a great summary of a litany of problems with the modern media. Expanding on the malfeasance of the CAJ and its support of provocatrix Rachel Gilmore will be interesting to read.
Re: the Rogan show, I think Kamala's team declined the invitation not because he was too right-wing (he was at the time the most famous and influential Bernie Sander supporter extant, and had yet to come out for Trump) but because they understood that a relaxed, honest, deep-dive conversation with ample time -- literally, hours -- for followup questions would have been Kryptonite for a candidate who struggled to answer even the most obvious and straightforward questions and was prone to using cringe-inducing new age-y aphorisms in a failed attempt to affect presidential gravitas. Rogan would never have let her get away with it, and they knew that.
It's understandable (and entertaining) that Carville, who loves chewing hard on the bit, would jump at the chance to savage the junior know-nothings and blame them for costing the Democrats the presidency -- Palmieri's post-mortem excuse is perfect for him -- but I doubt that he truly believes that the Rogan format was in Harris' proverbial wheelhouse, or that a three-hour spelunking of her brain-pan in front of 60 or 100 million voters would have given her campaign a boost. If he does think that, well, maybe there's a reason he's out of the business.
You close with saying you suck at being retired. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as you can rant and rave on your choice of topics and timelines. I’d say congratulations are in order. Keep hitting it out of the park as you have been. You are definitely needed.
It's funny to me that the perception of many is that MSM is left or progressive. If you think that MSM does not include Post, Sun and Fox, then you have completely swallowed a marketing line from those organizations. There is no real difference between post media and the Toronto Star. Yes, they approach things from a different angle, but it's two sides of the same coin. And both apply similar amounts of bias to their work, I would say.
I was sad to see Mr. Breakenridge let go, and it's not great to have that replaced by a nationally syndicated show. But I do understand why they do it.
Substack software recently messed up, i used chrome on laptop and safari on my phone, both have same issue when replying to someone if the comment is more than a few lines the POST button underlies the next comment below and i cannot access the post button, get substack to fix
lol. Nice to have a sense of humour. I sometimes have 50 something pages on my iPhone 12 Pro and it doesn’t like that. They are so expensive for a professional like yourself perhaps the latest model iPhone would better for you.
I would buy a Musk phone if it happens. Well. Maybe.
“This move is perfectly consistent with the current government’s incompetent handling of pretty much anything to do with the internet.”
Let me edit that sentence for you, Peter, in the interest of accuracy: “This move is perfectly consistent with the current government’s incompetent handling of pretty much anything.”
There. That’s better.
100%. You said it for me.
Please don't "properly retire". You provide too much value and insight in your "improper" retirement.

Your info is old, Mulroney is on QR now, not impressed so far.
Well that didn’t take long, did it? I last checked their schedule on Friday. I will update

Just curious, what’s your interpretation of Project 25? I understand the anti-woke part.

Hopefully you will ask Ms Bari Weiss what “ toady” means . How to spell it, and why she thinks it applies to the estimable Tulsi Gabbard Thank you
Alas, Ms Weiss has fallen ill and my interview cancelled
I hope she gets better and rallies her strength to answer questions. Thx for the update
You close with saying you suck at being retired. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as you can rant and rave on your choice of topics and timelines. I’d say congratulations are in order. Keep hitting it out of the park as you have been. You are definitely needed.
You are far too kind. Thank you
Great stuff. Keep truckin please.

For substack I use iPhone / safari no problem, exclusively. My lap top is gathering dust lol. Weird .
I can comment, but if the comment is more than 5 lines long the POST button becomes dead. I wonder if it’s their gentle way of telling me to shut up
I also use Chrome on
My laptop top. Microsoft don’t like that much lol
lol. Nice to have a sense of humour. I sometimes have 50 something pages on my iPhone 12 Pro and it doesn’t like that. They are so expensive for a professional like yourself perhaps the latest model iPhone would better for you.

I have iPhone 14 Pro so that’s not it
