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.”

Also PP, when are you going to complete your security clearance? What are you hiding?

Exactly. I really hope the Liberals and ALL the other parties bring this up during the elections, and refuse to let it go, or let the question be deflected or ignored.

I really hope the Liberals and other parties bring up how PP still won't get security clearance. How are we supposed to trust someone to govern us and claim to protect our sovereignty against the US and others, but they refuse to get clearance?

I agree with you. Conservative bias in mainstream media is apparent to all except the willfully blind. Especially Financial Post. I stopped reading their garbage more than a decade ago. And I'm not touching Toronto Sun with anything.

The Post Media brands have never been seen as reputable though

Maybe not by you, but plenty of Canadians consume content from them.

There’s the sunshine girl but people know not to take it seriously

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

In the long run, the only viable solution is proportional representation: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
