Media Bias [Merged]

[Colin Parkinson]

It's an RCAF plot to show the vast improvement offered by the F-35 over the "CF-18's" the Snowbirds fly.

 

[Eye In The Sky]

I don't see how this is any different from most of the stuff they "report" on the CAF ???

:rofl:

If only it were true.

Certainly not a surprise that, as the Ottawa Citizen reports, a "Carleton University journalism professor Allan Thompson will announce Monday that he wants to run as a Liberal candidate in the next federal election." Allan Thompson spent 17 years with the Toronto Star.

I would have thought the NDP was a closer fit...

Because we know how much the press loves journalist parliamentarians.  :

John Baird slams CBC question on Gaza conflict.

HERE'S some media bias. No major media outlet in Canada reported on this is somewhat shocking statement by an Israeli MP:

The CBC is NOT biased against Israel, that's a joke. They're reporting treats the whole thing like a struggle between equals. This narrative only helps Israel.

And the fun apparently continued beyond the posted exchange! (from comments)

It's too bad they cut out the rest of the exchange:

Baird: In fairness, you're a member of our national broadcaster, we deserve better questions than that.
CBC: My point is that the Conservative party takes public positions on a variety of issues to gain supporters, and that's a form of advertising.
Baird: (Long pause). I'm not sure what you mean.
CBC: Well, I mean, that's a form of getting out your supporters.
Baird: Sorry?
CBC: You've been taking positions on various issues, and openly using the House of Commons…and interviews and press conferences, and speeches at the UN, and, you know, things like that, to advertise your positions.
Baird: That's what governments do. I wouldn't call that advertising.
CBC: Well, it's a form of getting out to people, so you're advertising your position.
Baird: The Liberal party holds positions on a number of issues. Would you call that advertising?
CBC: No, because they're constantly changing their position.
Baird: Could you tell us your name, please?
CBC: No, we're not allowed to advertise.
Baird: I give up.

Poor Baird, forced to fight an unarmed opponent in a battle of wits... :cheers:

Now if we could only get the other Cabinet ministers and MPs to start delivering these sorts of smack downs (and given the quality of the reporters being sent at them, it would be much like dropping a grenade into a barrel of fish. That means you, CBC "reporters" who are monitoring the site).

A bit of a tangent here, which illustrates - in bold - not only a journalists poor writing skills, but an abject lack of proof reading, shared with the usual disclaimers.

Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock locked herself in her bedroom and dialled 911 after she came face-to-face with an intruder in the hallway of her home last month.

Joshua Corbett, 39, is facing charges including residential burglary and stalking after he was arrested at the Gravity star's mansion in California.

Bullock was at home at the time of the incident, and now details about her ordeal have come to light.

Official police paperwork, obtained by TMZ.com, reveals the Oscar winner got out of bed in the early hours of the morning after she heard a banging noise inside the house. She then came face-to-face with a man in the hallway, and ran back to her bedroom, locked the door and called for emergency services.

Bullock has since obtained a restraining order against Corbett, who is also facing a number of firearms charges after cops allegedly discovered a stash of weapons at his home.

I remember doing similar exercises with the Lincs back in the early 80s.  The only difference is we didnt have some numpty running around with a video camera and an agenda asking loaded questions.

 

[Kilo_302]

Wow I watched that report. There are no words. He's giving indie media a bad name, it was so unprofessional. Zero research. Zero common sense.

 

[vonGarvin]

Biggest military exercise.  Ever.

Our military vehicles are actually green. Haven't been camo in a long time.

That would be hilarious, if it wasn't so sadly researched and presented.  He really should have edited it after the Capt PAFFO sorted him out near the end.  I guess we can expect more of this.  Can't wait for his next report, to get another good chuckle.

That soldier who did not know what BFA stood for, really didn't put a good light on the military for all us old army guys.

Hmmmm, the pressfortruth link won't work for me... :Tin-Foil-Hat:  something's fishy...  he's been, erased perhaps...
