I'm not mad.   I would like some proof though.  Especially about CTV bribes.  CTV seems to be a just bit anti liberal to me, at least in many editorials   

 

It would be hard to disagree with the fact that CBC gets money from the government of Canada.   It would be equally as hard to defend the argument that the money is a bribe.  

 

One might also point out that CBC has been receiving this funding for decades....no matter which party was in power.....

That is such a bitch move and you know it

 

 

 

 

Just makes you guys look bad, not knowing the liberals fund the CBC and CTV as much as they have.

 

You guys sit here with your opinions on the media but you clearly don't have enough knowledge on the subject.

I will provide proof to something that needs actual research, not something that literally anyone can find at the very top of a google search

So the issue wasn't that his emotions weren't in check; the issue was that you couldn't provide a real source.  Got it.

Your argument is changing a bit as we go..  Weren't we discussing bribes?   Let's first set the subject and then we can discuss knowledge.

No, we were discussing how much money was given.  I said it's nothing more than a bribe, I didn't say there is proof of bribery.  Figure it out bud

Everyone know that CBC receives government funding. Just as it has with every Conservative government for many decades.

 

However, I would like to see your proof that CTV also receives government funding, because the evidence for that claim doesn't seem to be as easy to find as you claim. The only reference I was able to find, said that you were incorrect:

 

Quote

CTV and Global News, neither of whose news organizations receive government money, likewise offer strong and insightful coverage and commentary on the goings-on Parliament Hill.

I'm trying but it's just so hard to keep up.   One thing I've learned is that if I disagree with what you say it's up to me to go hunt for something or someone that does agree.

Makes sense.  CTV is much more.tolerable than CBC.

 

The libs give a lot more than Harper did and more than PP plans to

So you're a liar, then.  Someone googled it and showed you're a liar.

So you retract your claim that CTV receives government funding?

 

Just so we're clear....

Yes, I do.  Not sure how they missed out on that massive pie. 

So, to summarize.  You made a claim.  Refused to show your homework to verify your claim.  Were shown repeatedly your claim was wrong.  Doubled down.  Were shown again with pictures.  Then made the statement of ooops, dunno how they missed out.

 

You are aware of how this makes your credibility look right?

 

For the record, finding out how much government funding goes to anywhere is actually very easy as it is a matter of public record via parliamentary spending.  As well a year by year can be found in the first provided link specific to CBC.  As CBC is publicly funded, the amounts as well are on their website which is the 2nd provided link.  The Canadian Media Fund which is the non profit aspect of things can be found in the 3rd and 4th link provided.  Finally, the Google amount from this year as well as government bailout or assistance program from 2018 is/was earmarked almost exclusively for print media which can be found in the 5th and 6th links provided and are and have been proven to be tax credits not direct cash infusions.

 

So please, do understand.  While this information is/was easy to find; dropping a duece and insulting people's intelligence before slowly walking things back is just kind of sad.

 

(PS, link 6 is actually from the CBC and is highly critical of the media bailout plan and the trudeau government; so don't let that bit of info sway your belief that the CBC is nothing more than a boot licking mouthpiece leftist shill for the libs)

CTV and CBC recieve a huge amount of money from the liberals.  It's nothing more than a bribe.  Mainstream media are all liberal sheep at this point.

I was half right/wrong.  Admitted my mistake, more than some men are willing to do.

Would you be so kind as to show the rest of us proof, from a legitimate news source?  Ransom idiots on YouTube and Twitter are not legitimate.

 

Yes because every body knows randoms on CFF political rants are much more legitimate. They can copy paste wrong links like the one you just did with Menzoid.

This is really what happened.

Explain the previous arrests of Menzies at Conservative functions.  Were those also politically motivated or just this one?

The original post i did is from an account with 2.2 million followers world wide, how many does yours have?

Leave your pathetic twitter bias out of it too.

Yawn.

 

How many times does it need to be pointed out to you that Menzies is not a journalist and the police didn’t arrest him on Trudeau’s orders.  It has nothing to do with the government, Trudeau, Freeland, communists, aliens, Adobe….

 

The arrest is being investigated. You really need to try to retain information instead of trotting out the same old stuff.

Kim Kardashian has many more but I don't think anyone is stupid enough to consider her a legitimate news source.  Provide a real source.
