Canadian media is just a joke

[bjre]

Canadian media is nothing more than a joke.

When I read National Post, I found “Ex-senator’s wife charged after alleged attack with a hand-held fan and a lit cigarette at a medical clinic” http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/ex-senators-wife-charged-after-alleged-attack-with-a-hand-held-fan-and-a-lit-cigarette-at-a-medical-clinic
It says:

-- quote:

In the alleged assaults, police say she used a lit cigarette as a weapon against a woman, and then a hand-held fan on another woman during the same incident.
...threatening three city police officers while holding kitchen knives.

But there is nothing about the cause of the incident, and nothing about what others did to her.

What Canadian media wants to do is nothing but misleading, just like what Toronto Star did to Rob Ford before he gave up the mayor election.

Rob Ford gave up on being a mayor because he has cancer. He also smoked crack a few times with crackheads and gang members.

Fortunately, the SJW have infiltrated the media and they will make sure that information is correctly filtered to the public so that wrong conclusions & opinions cannot be made. Look forward to that.

Ummm ... You really think it matters?

Just have some curiosity about why she used a lit cigarette against a woman.

Was that woman a drug dealer and she tried to burn the dug?

Did that woman carried a bomb and she tried to make explosion with the cigarette?

Because of lack of detail, the imagination can be without limit.

The woman has a history of instability.

Is this sufficient to guarantee all other women and men she met were without eveilness?

Perhaps the details of the cause of the fracas are not known yet.

The article does helpfully point out some of her prior history with the law. A temper tantrum on an airplane, threatening paramedics who were called to her home to help her feeble old husband, threatening police, kicking the window out of a cop car, refusing to show up for a court date.

Cut from the same cloth as other great Ottawa women like Helena Guergis and Eve Adams.

To be fair, she's just the wife of a senator. I couldn't possibly care less about her. Now did she have some important position in Ottawa I should know about? Because frankly I don't think a senator's wife's actions should reflect on the senator.

He's not even a senator anymore. He retired due to poor health.

This is only in the news because she's an attractive 26 year old woman who achieved a modest level of infamy when she married a septuagenarian senator.

And to that extent I agree with bjre on the premise of the media being a joke.

[cybercoma]

You're suggesting it's not even worth talking about, which I agree with. bjre is saying he or she wants more information on it.

And the OP's main question is being studiously ignored.

"Canadian media is just a joke".

Does anyone recall ever reading any articles about USA terrorism, USA war crimes, the USA being convicted by the International Court of Justice for terrorism against Nicaragua?

Can anyone point me to any Canadian media articles discussing how the USA completely rejected that conviction, the only time any country has been so designated as terrorist?

Examples of USA war crimes and terrorism are legion. Can anyone point me to discussions of same in Canadian media?

[PIK]

But it still is a joke.

[Je suis Omar]

But it still is a joke.

All mainstream western media is a joke, PIK. They are supposed to a call to reason, a control on evil politicians. Not the equivalent of Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.

Fifty plus years of uncontrolled, malevolent terrorism directed against Cuba, after a previous sixty years of USA dictatorships against the same cuban people and not a boo!

All that same time while numerous USA terrorist actions going on against numerous other countries.

Not a boo! It's no wonder those countries finally said, ENOUGH, and formed an organization that didn't include the USA and Canada.

[PIK]

And when these nations get into trouble economic or anything bad, who is there to help, It is America. And it was not a dictatorship by America is was the castros. So when the shit hits the fan with these countries who going to get the call. America and Canada and we will save their asses again.

The reason that North America media is a joke is because the owners of those medias are the elite, who want to control the news and the world. Now having said that , I'm not sure Canadians media are the same as the US but anything is possible.

Ummm...no...I don't think Mexican media wants to control the news of the world.

Read about 1/2 into the story. Most misleading headline of the year candidate:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/harper-government-cranks-up-polling-in-run-up-to-election-1.3109766

Poll costs are soaring. In the last few years, they've gone from $31M all the way up to almost $5M! Wait, what?
