Loosening restrictions around foreign ownership has been one of the most insidious and damaging legacies of the Harper governments.

Isn't it funny how they're the ones always complaining about fake news, but these are the ones that are spreading it.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Every accusation is a confession with these fucks. And I do mean literally every single fucking one.

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

Not so funny, not so ironic. It's purposeful, they aren't doing it accidentally.

well, at least it’s a screenshot of a tweet containing another screenshot so it’s too blurry to read…
i’m calling this: pseudo-information

All Post Media affiliated media are majority owned by American interests ..... the other owners are a European German conglomerate, another chunk is the American billionaire Leon Cooperman and about 1% is Canadian investors.

Anyone that reads that junk is literally reading international propaganda that is trying to influence our country.

Yup, this was floating around in Canadian subreddits

Always hate how in many areas SUN is pretty much seen as a competitor to the bigger newspaper publications despite them being two of the same going back to the newspaper box days.

Makes me miss Metro and the Star Metro after that.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago

I'm glad that the other daily in Winnipeg is Canadian owned and independent .

And is considered more trustworthy.

And has a bigger circulation.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

I know in Edmonton, at least, the Sun and the Edmonton Journal had their newsrooms merged. They're framed as alternatives, but the Sun has taken over the 'mainstream' option in places.

[-] BinzyBoi@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Funny you mention that. I'm down in Calgary now, but I was specifically thinking of how Millbourne Mall and other places would have the two publications next to one another with the newspaper boxes.

Think I remember hearing about that merge a while back, though that could be deja vu or whatnot as well. Was more than a few years ago now no?

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah, it happened quite some time ago now. I think the newsroom merger happened with the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, too, but I don't know for sure, so didn't mention it.

If you use search to find news, those sites will come up often.

Use a browser extension like "uBlacklist" and block them from even showing up in search.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

Thanks for the recommendation!

Billionaire assholes recently realized they can just buy respected newspapers.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Nothing recent about it. They've never not been owned by billionaire arseholes.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

No. Stop that. In this specific decade, several major papers of record have been bought by assholes and jerked hard to the right.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

I contacted them about wanting them to stop delivering the Sun to our new to us house, they told me they only see a subscription for another one of their journals and stopped that one... We're still getting the Sun...

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Well, you have will have lots of paper to train a puppy, or line a few bird cages

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

It's BBQ season and we use briquettes!

[-] JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

So they want you have it anyway!

[-] Ahrotahntee@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

Weird, I could have sworn Babcock was illiterate.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 days ago

"you" im 100% sure i dont read any of these without even checking the list.

[-] SamuelRJankis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

"You" might not but there millions of "you's" that do and they play a large part on who gets elected. This is quickly rising as being one of the most fundamental problems we have.

There's been zero systematic actions from any level of governments, platforms or even on most communities level like this one. None of those people even want to talk about this being a issue.
