Rebel News Won Right to Attend G7

[CdnFox]

WOW! Mark Carney’s lawyers blink, allow Rebel News into the G7! - Rebel News

Well this should be good for a laugh or two    I doubt they'll sit back in the corner and respectfully watch the proceedings quietly.  At the debates they hustled like crazy and got a few of the questions spots sewn up while many of the other reporters were mingling, and that's what started the fireworks that time.

After that news there isn't a single kernel of popcorn to be found anywhere.😁

Right?  

The 'rebel' is this weird duality of an existance where they are simultaneously complete tabloid trash and also extremely good and uncovering real news and poking holes in the establishment veil.  

"BY CLAIMING OUR RIGHTS TO BE AT THE DEBATES DESPITE EVERY ATTEMPT TO KEEP US OUT, AND BY DOING OUR JOB AND STANDING IN LINE PATIENTLY TO GET THE MOST QUESTIONS OUT, AND ASKING UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL DRIVEL, WE HAVE PROVEN THAT SMALL INDEPENDENT MEDIA IS BOTH RELEVANT AND CAPABLE IN THIS AGE AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS CANNOT BE STOPPED!!  Also, we're selling conservative memberships from a van out front. "

The Rebel completely lacks finesse and polish.

Even when they're saying things that I completely agree with, I find them impossible to watch. Ezra needs a Xanax or whatever it's called.

Yeah, I like Ezra when he was with the sun news network and I liked the sun news network except for the guy with the handlebars mustache which was like having your news read to you by a walrus, but they are difficult to watch now. I catch their occasional story just because like I said every now and then they really hit one out of the park. And I do appreciate that even though I don't agree with them all the time they're out there really pushing hard to legitimize smaller independent news sources.

True north and Juneau are a little better. Especially True North, I really find that actually to be a good journalistic medium for the most part

Just crazy how Canadian authorities abuse and mistreat Rebel News folks like David Menzies.

Yep. But Rebel has been very successful in fighting back in that regard. 

Fact is whether you like them or not, the moment the gov't gets to decide who is and who is not "the media" your democracy is in trouble.

I followed how they were treated in Australia too, especially during COVID lockdowns. Just insane.

If Jim Acosta was treated like a Rebel News reporter, CBC would call the Trump administration Nazis. 

I like how CBC calls him "A man who identifies as a reporter" 😂

It's like Dylan Mulvaney calling Jim Carrey "A person who identifies as a man".

Pull the same shit they did at the election debate and Trumps guards will shoot LOL

Carney? Trump? any of the other gov't officials attending including tonnes of staff and the like? 

Do you honestly believe there's no one at the G7 worth interviewing?  Did you hit your head again today?

The gov't literally just promised them the right to ask questions. 

FFS i know reading gives you headaches but if you're going to comment on an article at least READ it first.

The thing is sometimes the police etc do abuse David Menzies' rights, but Menzies also knows EXACTLY what he's doing and purposefully goads police etc into a confrontation to acquire an "unjust" reaction from them and catch it on video.  Rebel then uses the footage to convince their readers to donate money for some legal defense or whatnot.  It's some tabloid scheme nonsense.

Rebel does have some usefulness since they report things that the MSM never would, but they're a hot mess.

The state of journalism in this country has really hit the sh*ts since the fall of physical newspapers.

Lots of people worth interviewing. Thing is, the staff of the person being interviewed decides who gets to ask the questions and Rebel is a non player LOL

Yup, they can ask...if they get chosen LOL

I know that you have trouble with reality so, that is why I always give you a break from it LOL

Yeah, sure, he is standing on a sidewalk to walk along the Finance Minister to ask her questions when a police officer purposefully stands in his path moving into his way from behind a pole so that he can't see the officer. Then they all surround and aggressively arrest him for assaulting the officer. 

That was not David goading anyone into anything. 

These are deliberate tactics people use as a pretext to use force on someone, or in this case, to stop him from pestering the poor Finance minister with questions, and arrest him.

Interesting take.

So...in your opinion, only questions from liberal biased media is going to present you with reality?

Not at all but if you had been paying attention at all to most, if not all political press question periods, certain pressers get top ask question. It is very evident with Trump questions and answers but it is the same for all others.

Not that the questions are selected but for sure, the questioners are selected. It is not liberal or conservative media, it is all media and selected by the staff of the person being questioned.

In Canada, I see Carney responding even to embarrassing or alternative questions but, the questions posed to PP seem to be selected and rarely, if at all, to embarrass or put him in compromising situations.

That's because Poilievre isn't full o' sh1t. The carney is. As for Trump...he takes all comers daily. A quality few...if any Libbies can boast.

I'll be watching this week but I'll make a prediction.

Trump will get the carney to do his bidding...with elbows up of course...

You are really missing the point.

They can give Rebel credentials but Rebel probably won't be able to ask questions because the staff decides who asks. 

PP will not be there so he is a non player and they can ask PP all the y want but PP is not at the table so he won't know anything except his normal rhetoric LOL

You know, I said this in another thread... I think a lot of you conservative groupies are pissed PP is your leader. I think you all wish Carney was your guy LOL You keep claiming Carney stole you platform, your policies and your ideas and I know deep down y'all know PP is a loser and wished you had someone like Carney to lead your party

Nothing false about it. Which is also why charges were all dropped.
