The radical was maple maga harper that needed the supreme court to stop his fascist partisan manipulation sof the Senate. Trudeau attempted to restore a non-partisan house (undu fascism).

CBC needs therapy for its Trudeau Derangement Syndrome, or is trying to create a false history for younger people that missed the sad Harper years.

When did an unbiased senate become a radical idea for CBC?

Just in case you didn't watch the lunchtime news on the BBC today, and were wondering what their take on the doctors' strike is, I can tell you it is that the government are doing their best and being very reasonable but the evil doctors are being horribly irresponsible and putting patients in harm's way.

Even after 21 months, mainstream media continue to print Israeli talking points and denials. And do so without any of the necessary context.

If a government engaged in mass slaughter has set a new world record for killing journalists, has prevented all international journalists from entering or talking to the victims of its extreme violence, censors all journalists working in its own jurisdiction, is led by fugitives from international criminal justice, and has been proven many times over to issue false and misleading statements about previous criminal violence, then maybe don't print their latest cut-n-paste denials and obfuscations?

Or if you're going to (for the sake of the historical record?), then don't do so without consistently reminding readers of these crucial contexts for interpreting their latest wild claims.

[follow up] Over 400 media figures call for BBC board member’s removal over Gaza coverage conflicts

More than 400 celebrities, journalists and media figures including Miriam Margolyes, Mike Leigh and 111 #BBC staff have signed a letter demanding the removal of BBC board member Robbie Gibb. The signatories cite conflict of interest concerns, as Gibb led the consortium that bought the Jewish Chronicle in 2020 and served as its director until August 2024.

The letter alleges the BBC is “crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government” and points to the corporation’s decision to commission but shelve the documentary “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack” as evidence of editorial bias.

BBC staff claim they face censorship while Gibb remains in an influential position on the editorial standards committee despite his connections to pro-Israel media.

A foreign-owned media empire not only shaping the housing debate, but profiting directly from it?
Murdoch’s News Corp now owns real estate listings, mortgage platforms, property data firms and most of the media megaphone in this country — and they’re using that platform to steer the national housing conversation in ways that just so happen to benefit... themselves.
It’s no longer just bias — it’s vertical integration of propaganda and profit. A single company now helps drive housing policy outcomes by flooding the public sphere with editorials, headlines, and slanted coverage — while quietly monetising the very market conditions it helps create.
Where are the regulators? Where’s the outrage? Why is a foreign-controlled corporation allowed to manipulate both sides of the ledger — public opinion and private finance — while pretending it’s just journalism?
This is not a free press — this is a real estate racket with a printing press.

Are we surprised?

"ABC News consistently gave more prominence to the Israeli perspective and more frequently humanised Israelis than Palestinians in its Gaza coverage, according to a joint analysis by Deepcut and media watchdog Newscord."

For the first time, more Australians are getting their news from social media than traditional sources. The younger generation isn’t falling for Murdoch’s spin — they’re better educated, digitally savvy, and see through the propaganda that still dupes much of the over-50s brigade.

The Guardian · More Australians get their news via social media than traditional sources for first time, report findsBy Amanda Meade

'The CfMM analysed some 3,873 online articles and 32,092 broadcast segments, to identify what it called “the marginalisation of Palestinian suffering and the amplification of Israeli narratives.” Central to their claim is that despite Palestinian fatalities outnumbering Israeli ones by more than 34 to 1, coverage of Israeli deaths dominated.'
