Cult MTL on Bluesky

As the Conservatives blow a 30-point lead in the polls, we remind you that Canada’s mainstream media still chooses not to fact-check Pierre Poilievre.

“Poilievre has benefitted immensely from legacy media’s inability to challenge conservative bullies.”

        Sure, that doesn’t mean Postmedia isn’t snapping up newspapers in small communities all across Canada.
        As a comparison, Fox News isn’t seen by anyone rational as reputable. And look at what they’ve had a hand in?

            but people know not to take it seriously

            That’s a very big assumption, and based on how the country is moving (deeper into conspiracy theories and right-wing), I disagree.

              Sadly, I’ve learnt only 63% of Canadians think climate change is man made anymore

              I agree with you, that my ignorance was bliss and am ready for violence

      about 60% is owned by the Chatham Asset Management, the rest of Post Media is owned by Allianz Global Investors GmbH in Germany … third on the list is Leon Cooperman, an American billionaire

      about 1% is actually owned by Canadian companies and corporations

        Can you point me to the breakdown? I’ve been linking the Wiki, and if it’s outdated I’d rather be factually correct in my vitriolic and justified anger.

        You’re the second person I’ve seen point out Leon Cooperman’s share. I’m really glad you didn’t do what the other person did and slap "a JEEEEEWWWWWW!" after his name. It was really disgusting, and has no place in these discussions. We’ve got enough systemic racism and shit that need sorting without bringing antisemitism into the mix.
