WION News

[WestCanMan]

As a conservative I find myself watching Fox News even though I would rather watch a Canadian news channel, we just don't have one.

We have some alt-left propaganda channels here but no actual news.

On the web there's Rebel News, and while they get accurate info and cover topics that the MSM here doesn't want us to see, I find the Rebel reporters really hard to take. Ramblin' Ezra Levant is soooooo uggggh. I hate agreeing with him. 

Sure they get beaten up by cops occasionally, but do they have to act like soccer players every time it happens? Don't these guys know enough to wear some padding when they get within 200 yards of Trudeau? It's like a defensive lineman forgetting to wear his helmet all the time and then crying when he gets bumped on the noggin. Enough already.

I just found my first WION video a while ago and they are definitely more 'watchable' than Rebel.

If you just google WION Canada you can find links to pretty much any topic that's been covered in the news lately. 

Emergencies Act:

Freedom Convoys in Europe:

Sorry Rebel, but you're still just not good enough.

I always wonder why we don't have have the level of press conferences as they do in the us. 

It'd be nice to see some investigative journalists actually as real questions. Not Trudeau toadies.

Yea Palki is awesome. Love her accent and she's savage but in a hilarious way. She's my favorite broadcaster

Yeah, when she throws a shot it lands hard and I LOVE it.

She's already my favourite Canadian by far and I've hardly seen much of her work (I didn't even know her name until you said it), but let's be honest, if she was kinda dumb and lied just a bit she'd still be all alone in number one here. Canada is a shithole country as far as broadcast journalism is concerned.

Why isn't there any news that tells me exactly what I want to hear and nothing but exactly what I want to hear?

It speaks volumes about how bad the mainstream media is when there are more independent media sources that can do a much better job with a fraction of the resources.

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC , NBC, PBS, CBC, CTV, Global .

Rebel reminds me of those late-era Harper ads tailored to people with 80 IQ.

Al-Jazeera was always pretty decent for world events, but they haven't given the protests any decent coverage. I have the feeling we're too distant from their usual reach.

True North is very good but you can tell they are a small operation, they only put out about one story a day.

Cherry picking stuff from msm sources and spinning it for their audience is something anyone can do from their basement. A really accomplished journalists wouldn't even have to get out of bed.

You should be made aware that all the major news outlets, the many on the left and the very few on the right have huge research teams scouring (cherry picking) stuff from other sources so they can spin it for their audience.

Why do you insist on spinning the belief that only a small handful of you true conservatives are capable of this awareness?  It's some special type of wokiness peculier to right-wingers.

You remind me of people who are amazed at Walter, "Its like no one's ever seen a cat"

Exactly. It's called, the truth, or at least what's know to be true, and even "what some people think" as long as that's not conflated with 'facts'.

If you were stupid enough to believe that the BSL4 lab theory was "so stupid that anyone considering needs to be shut down" that's your problem moonbox.

If you were stupid enough to think that allowing flights from Wuhan made Trudeau a really good person, and blocking flights made Trump a racist, that's your problem moonbox. Just out of curiosity, was Trudeau being a racist when he blocked flights from India?

If you think that Trudeau isn't a hatemonger then you're just as stupid as the people who threw Jews into the gas chambers at Auschwitz.

If you were stupid enough to believe that Dr Ford was clearly a victim and Trudeau isn't an ethically challenged scumbag that's your problem moonbox. I just know more things than you do and I can't be led around by the nose, which is apparently one of your favourite things to do. 

If you believe that "the BLM protest was a bunch of really good people engaging in mostly peaceful protests in communities that weren't shuttered in fear and then destroyed", and that "the Freedom Convoy was a bunch of racist terrorists who forced people to live in fear and destroyed Ottawa" then you're brutally stupid. Enjoy your CTV. 

I obviously don't care about your opinion moonbox. Anyone who thinks that CTV, CBC and Goebbels are legitimate news sources is irredeemably stupid. You belong in an echo chamber, not an adult forum.

It's not a 'belief', it's a sad fact.

I've seen your takes on several dozens of news stories now and the one thing that they all have in common is a myopic, propaganda-driven understanding of everything.

I can tell exactly what your opinion is going to be on any given issue by watching ten minutes of CTV or CNN a day. It's unwavering. You sound like a 'futuristic' robot from a 1950's TV show: "boop BEEP: C-T-V SAID _________ AND - THAT - IS - ALL - THAT - MAY - BE - CONSIDERED. ANYONE - WHO - QUESTIONS - C-T-V - IS - A - RACIST. BEEP boop."

You keep quoting CTV as mankind's precious fount of knowledge and I'll keep befuddling you with cites, facts, and stats - never the twain shall meet.

I literally couldn't be less concerned that ranting, deluded fools don't care about my opinions.  If anything it's a badge of honour.  It's hard to even begin typing a response to this sort of petulant, juvenile rambling.  Forget the fact that 3/4 of it is stuff on which I've never even commented, let's just highlight this part as the brilliant gem it is:

You "know more things" than me in the same way that Donald Trump knows words and has the best words.

MSNBC, CNN, CBC News lean left.

Maybe "leftwing" seems just "normal" to your eyes and ears.

[Gomer]

Why can we not just have a news station that tells the news all the news right, left, up, down does not matter let the people make their own decision on how they feel with all the facts. Not just the ones that that particular station seems fit for us to see or hear because it seems TV or Radio are both the same. I have gotten to the point that I listen to everything then go on the internet but it is even getting hard to find all the facts there even anymore to make my own educated choices. All leaders does not matter the colour(red,blue,orange,or green) seem to want to hide at least some facts anymore it is not right just going to continue to divide that way or is that what they want.

Agreed.  Also news owned by Universal is corporate.

1) Then you did a good job of avoiding liberal echo chambers. Sadly, you are gonna keep hearing about the low quality of your posts are while you're here. 

2) Your whole post was literally 100% petulant, juvenile rambling.

3) I don't care if you "never commented on 3/4 of the stuff". You're a hardline propagandist and everything that comes out of Trudeau's mouth is instantly your opinion. Own it.

4) I post facts and stats which substantiate my posts while you shriek drivel. So yes, either I do know way more than you or you're a grandmaster of playing stupid. 

5) Here are a couple of facts for you to shove up your meme. The anecdote heard 'round the world about "the guy who got covid, recovered, and then died of covid" wasn't "science". The CDC in the US just came out on Jan 29th and said that adaptive immunity [commonly referred to as natural immunity] was 6x stronger vs delta than the jab.

Awwwww shucks, another post showing you up ?

Care to try again, sweetheart?

You just conflated two truths in a way that turns them into disinformation:

1) Your concerns are well justified.

2) Yes, the internet does prove you wrong, just like everything else.

Ironically.... the internet just proved you wrong again! (damned internet, hey?)

On the bright side, your ability to disinform has reached grandmaster status. You're now qualified to be a Liberal Party of Canada Cabinet Minister or to work for CTV, CBC and Global. Pick your desired level of sleaze.

1) It's American News, and

2) corporations aren't inherently bad. People love jobs at Ford, GM, etc, and FYI entire communities are supported by their plants.

3) If you leftists finally achieve your goal of anti-corporate awesomeness, and drive all of your industrial capacity to other countries, you'll just be watching them build armies while America atrophies. 

Granted, #3 takes a lot longer than Biden's strategy of just giving tens of billions of dollars worth of elite military 'copters, vehicles, missiles and other weaponry to the Taliban, but it's still bad. Trust me.

You've spent a lot more time on the 4dchan boards, so you've certainly picked up more mind-warping nonsense than I have.  As far as facts go, you've demonstrated that you don't even understand what the word/concept means. 

Your angry, gibbering rants don't count.  Having intense, emotional opinions don't make them facts.  If you calm yourself down and actually think before you pound on your keyboard, the quality of the discussions you have here will improve.
