Loosening restrictions around foreign ownership has been one of the most insidious and damaging legacies of the Harper governments.

well, at least it’s a screenshot of a tweet containing another screenshot so it’s too blurry to read…
i’m calling this: pseudo-information

Isn't it funny how they're the ones always complaining about fake news, but these are the ones that are spreading it.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago

Every accusation is a confession with these fucks. And I do mean literally every single fucking one.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

Not so funny, not so ironic. It's purposeful, they aren't doing it accidentally.

All Post Media affiliated media are majority owned by American interests ..... the other owners are a European German conglomerate, another chunk is the American billionaire Leon Cooperman and about 1% is Canadian investors.

Anyone that reads that junk is literally reading international propaganda that is trying to influence our country.

Yup, this was floating around in Canadian subreddits

Always hate how in many areas SUN is pretty much seen as a competitor to the bigger newspaper publications despite them being two of the same going back to the newspaper box days.

Makes me miss Metro and the Star Metro after that.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

I'm glad that the other daily in Winnipeg is Canadian owned and independent .

And is considered more trustworthy.

And has a bigger circulation.

I know in Edmonton, at least, the Sun and the Edmonton Journal had their newsrooms merged. They're framed as alternatives, but the Sun has taken over the 'mainstream' option in places.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Funny you mention that. I'm down in Calgary now, but I was specifically thinking of how Millbourne Mall and other places would have the two publications next to one another with the newspaper boxes.

Think I remember hearing about that merge a while back, though that could be deja vu or whatnot as well. Was more than a few years ago now no?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah, it happened quite some time ago now. I think the newsroom merger happened with the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, too, but I don't know for sure, so didn't mention it.

Billionaire assholes recently realized they can just buy respected newspapers.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nothing recent about it. They've never not been owned by billionaire arseholes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

No. Stop that. In this specific decade, several major papers of record have been bought by assholes and jerked hard to the right.

If you use search to find news, those sites will come up often.

Use a browser extension like "uBlacklist" and block them from even showing up in search.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the recommendation!

I contacted them about wanting them to stop delivering the Sun to our new to us house, they told me they only see a subscription for another one of their journals and stopped that one... We're still getting the Sun...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, you have will have lots of paper to train a puppy, or line a few bird cages

It's BBQ season and we use briquettes!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

So they want you have it anyway!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Weird, I could have sworn Babcock was illiterate.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"you" im 100% sure i dont read any of these without even checking the list.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

"You" might not but there millions of "you's" that do and they play a large part on who gets elected. This is quickly rising as being one of the most fundamental problems we have.

There's been zero systematic actions from any level of governments, platforms or even on most communities level like this one. None of those people even want to talk about this being a issue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

No, most media I consume does not have a maga bias.

Who would consume that crap?
