Will you shut up about her? Why don't you just admit it that you're a mysogynist that can't stand it when a female journalist does her job of calling out the lies and bullshit from our gouvernents, especially when it doesn't fit your narrative.
If that is Rachel Gilmores rant she is bat shit crazy and about as much a journalist as I am.
God what an annoying bitch.
Immigration Stats
I have already mentioned this earlier so I will be short here. We have let in LARGE numbers of Indian immigrants they are not required to have MMR vaccines. MMR is also an issue in India and so on... see other post..
This was not in other post... Canadians traveling abroad can be exposed to measles in a wide range of countries where the disease is still endemic or experiencing outbreaks. Countries specifically identified by public health agencies as having significant measles outbreaks include those in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, as well as other parts of the Americas. Specific countries mentioned in reports include:
-India and Pakistan
-Mexico
-United States (due to local outbreaks in under-vaccinated communities)
-Various European nations
-Philippines, Indonesia, Yemen, and Nigeria
So immigrants are the cause for the measles outbreak in Canada huh? Especially the brown ones from India? That what you're saying?
Do you know how racist that sounds?
Lol. It's rage bait social media bullshit. If you want journalism, go read from many of the excellent journalists who actually do thorough journalism, they come from a wide variety of genders.
But you know what they're not? Half cocked rage bait designed to get clicks.
Just because someone is on Tiktok or Instagram or any other social media doesn't delegitimize them.
She was a reporter for the CBC, press release journalist who worked in the actual parliament to report on things like bills, laws, debates and budgets. She also had a fact check segment on CBC. But the Conservatives got tired of all their lies and bullshit being revealed and called out and put pressure on the last Trudeau minority government to get her canned.
Just because she sounds pissed off, and rightly so, doesn't delegitimize her arguments either. Everyone should be pissed off. It's not rage bait when the facts are so fucking outrageous.
And what other media should we turn to? She's an independent journalist. Every other news media is either owned by a conservative fascist media baron or backed by one. She's as real as it gets.
And you should get with the times, old man, people get their news from social media now. Get with it.
Lol, the "facts" ... You mean the ones you get from her rage bait? I see no logical reasoning flaw there.
No. She's not. She's social media rage bait. She is driven by what gets clicks, which is driven by social media algorithms, and she gets paid through advertising that is based on clicks. She is independent in that she has no editor, that is clear. She's not independent in the sense of being separate from corporate advertising pressures.
Yeah, people used to get thereir news from cable TV and people told them not to then too. Congratulations on putting in the lowest effort possible and becoming half informed by what gets you angry. You're an advertiser's wet dream.
And other medias don't? Get real.
Aren't you angry at the news in general these days? Beween the Palestinian holocaust caused by Israel and the UAE's genocide in Sudan, American politics, MAGA, ICE, the general push of western society towards fascism in general, the collapse of Canadian society through restritive costs of living and the constant degradaion of our social services through attrition for the past 20+ years by conservative and neo-liberal politics, there's plenty to be unfuriated about.
She's not rage baiting, she's just stating facts.
The news has always been shit. You're not angry because of the news, you're angry because anger keeps people on social media longer and gets more ad dollars.
And other news media don't do this? LoL That's the whole game right now.
What did the UAE DO now? She wouldn't know a fact if it slapped her across the face. She was Fact Checker for CTV for a short while 🤣 during the last election and did such a horrible job she was fired because of so many complaints. 🤣
You got all your facts wrong. Maybe inform yourself before you make a fool of yourself.
