🔥🚨JUST IN: BBC released footage of a Muslim Afghan father selling his 7-year-old twin daughters into sexual slavery with adult men because his country has failed him and he has no way to pay bills for himself or his daughters.






Two weeks ago, Conservative MP Fraser Tolmie broke the story that the Snowbirds were being cancelled. What was the official response from @DavidMcGuinty? “Canadians can rest assured that they will be able to enjoy the iconic Snowbird formation for generations to come.” Yesterday, he announced that this was a lie. Let’s take a look at how this was covered in the media yesterday: Despite conducting an interview with a Conservative MP just hours before on the subject, CTV failed to include any opposition voice in their coverage in the evening news. They did, however, include multiple quotes from the Liberal government downplaying this travesty. No questions on the Liberals flip-flopping. No balance. Global News didn’t even reach out for a response, and if they had, you would have seen something like the video attached. Another story covered in the evening news yesterday: Mark Carney tried to take credit for a graphite mine, but it was all an illusion. The reality? The Quebec government authorized construction in February 2021, and Nouveau Monde had already spent years working out the engineering, power supply and site preparation required to move the project forward. All of which we included in a comment pushed to them, along with all national media. Again, CTV covered this in the evening news and included Liberal voices, with no opposing view, despite us proactively pushing a comment to them. On inflation and gas prices, despite pushing out a statement, we received no requests for comment or interviews, despite CTV quoting Minister Champagne. To be clear, this is not a partisan expectation. On federal government stories, the official opposition isn't a “nice to have.” It's the main other voice besides the Liberal government itself. Provide balance, it’s your job.
