Boy, Canada has a big problem. We've got a new PM that uses complex sentence structures and it looks like we need a huge upgrade to our fifth estate so they're capable of parsing them.

This seems to be a widespread problem, not confined to just the alt-right contingent of "reporterish" tools.

Remember Canada's Press has the same problem as rhe US. Canadian papers, 98% are owned by American far right Repiblcan who is planning to betray us to Trump. Is betraying us.

Same == Same

Post Media is Chatham, Chatham is Republican in court with Trump for election malfeasance.

@kevinrns That covers the right and alt-right but I've seen more than one actually independent reporter read "at the moment I am more concerned with X than Y" as "Carney is abandoning Y".

I think they're so accustomed to either more direct statements or answers that pivot to their sound-bite talking points that they've become incapable of understanding something as complex as a temporal conditional.They also seem incapable of formulating a follow-up in real time, like for example "does this mean you're abandoning Y?" A question for which they'd probably get another comprehensive answer.

@alan

They fire good reporters, leave up some good reporters as decorations.

They intend to play down the threat, play down allies actions of support, be "disappointed" - cite irrelavancies, the LATimes seemed like a real paper, the Washington Post had a clever "democracy" meme.

But betrayal was intent. Canada's US owned Papers are EXACTLY as subversive as US Coup papers.

This is them.

Tabloid that kept Trump secrets faces losses, legal trouble

WASHINGTON (AP) β€” The National Enquirer has long explained its support for Donald Trump as a business decision based on the president's popularity among its readers.

@alan

Just on the alt right note, billionaire trump funder, trump supporter, newspaper owner, subversive, Bezos used rhe US Washington Post not to sell far right ideas, but to subvert votes so far right ideologues took executive power.

Canada's Papers will be "very sorry" you have to vote for #PP very sorry "Carney" is something something.

The SAME GUY πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ owns rhe Edmonton Journal AND the Edmonton SUN.

The don't having to "sell the far right" to defeat the sane.

@kevinrns If Carney gets in, at least we'll still have the CBC, and there are alternatives that are still doing good work, including @thetyee, thenarwhal.ca, rabble.ca and others.

@alan @thetyee

Yes and...

More money and ....

CBC needs a new board, its STILL πŸ‘‰ Harper's BOARD, still pro oil, still pro exploration, still pro pipeline, still pro offshore Oil.

They were Rex Murphy'd, they need a broom. CBC was once humbly brilliant like Peter Gzoski, now it's gloriously arrogant. Smug.
