Well, it's kind of hard to have anything to debate about when you nosebreathers can just call anything you don't want to hear a conspiracy theory, even when i post links to back up what i say. You say it must be from MSM and every thing that is not MSM is fake news. The term fake news was created because of MSM. I said a thread without liberal bias, not liberals. Theres a difference. If there wasn't a liberal bias in here, there'd be more than two non-liberals in this thread. Seems like all the cons and CPP have been chased off. Luckily i'm a centrist, i haven't made up my mind, feels like we're screwed either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever think it’s not liberal bias, but just most of the majority is able to decipher BS when we see it? A lot of us here are conservative in values, we just haven’t gone off the deep end and drank the Trumptard Koolaid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term fake news was coined in the 1890's, along with " yellow journalism " A practice that Joseph Pulitzer and William Hearst indulged in, publishing rumours as actual facts. https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/the-real-story-of-fake-news Hilary Clinton used it in a speech 2 days before Trump did. She was warning about the dangers of it. Like most things, trump stole and perverted it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily i'm a centrist, i haven't made up my mind, feels like we're screwed either way. The term fake news was created because US media investigated claims of trump assaulting women (the grab her by the....tape) and fraudulent activities. Not because of MSM We can call things conspiracy theories when they are conspiracy theories. Especially whent he links to back things up do not jive with the claims a person makes Call me a nose breather again mate. That's absolutely not a personal attack at all is it? A thread with liberals but without liberal bias. Lemme guess. Everyone who disagrees with you is a liberal or has liberal bias right? I'm a very small c conservative myself, but I have no doubt you'd consider me a liberal because I don't tow a line. Youre not a centrist. Your own actions and stated followed personalities and endless posts and defamatory statements prove that. I've never seen a single slight made against anyone on the right from you even though there is mountains of material for you to use. So go on and pretend that the victim here is yourself and everyone else is out to get you. That particular tact is the hallmark of the right wi...err centrist movement in north america right now 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 17 hours ago, Warhippy said: 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) https://frpc.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Public-funding-of-CBC-operations-2020-4-February.pdf https://cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/impact-and-accountability/finance/annual-reports/ar-2021-2022/financial-sustainability/revenue-and-other-funds https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/media-fund.html https://ar-ra22-23.cmf-fmc.ca/ https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/cbc-radio-canada-largely-excluded-written-media-outlets-receive-bulk-of-funding-from-online-news-act https://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/media-bailout-1.5147053 16 hours ago, Rob Eh said: Say please https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/ctv-cuts-hitting-every-part-of-canada-825302980.html#:~:text=The company has received at least %24122 million,of 2020 had %243.8 billion of available liquidity. 16 hours ago, Rob Eh said: So you admit you were wrong? They do get money? Nowhere did it specify it was covid bailout money, be honest. I wouldn't gloat just yet. I took you to the wood shed on this one. You just said they didn't receive money but now admit they do but it goes directly to the producer. Why does that matter? It's still a subsidy and it shows in the bias in which they report. Money talks. I addressed all of your claims. Easily too. You never once responded. I wanted to bring it up again just as a favour. I also want to remind you about what happened in 2020/2021 that allowed for major companies and business across Canada to obtain employee tax credits for labour.

Trump had 80,000,000 votes, Biden had barely over 80,000,000. Thats pretty sus, a lot more votes than they usually get in a non covid mail-in, election. year.

This is also the Canadian Politics thread, take it where it's appropriate. Before you say "I brought it up" I was merely using that as a metric or comparison along with leafs fans who believe their side is infallible to prove that popularity does not equate to or mean that a side is right.

Warhippy Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 This was expected. Shame Alberta couldn't give her more than a single term. She had ridiculously low oil prices and rampant unemployment to deal with coupled with a massive infrastructure bill and a lack of investment in serious areas of need and gets a bad rep because of it. But hey...Danielle Smith....Am I right? Rachel Notley has announced she is planning to step down as leader of Alberta's Opposition NDP. The former premier made the announcement to caucus in Edmonton on Tuesday, sources have confirmed to CBC News. Notley's announcement will trigger a leadership race. A news conference is expected today. CBC News will carry it live here. Notley was elected NDP leader in 2014. She led the party to victory in the 2015 election for a one-term government.
