Ezra Levant is not a journalist, the rebel is not journalism, it's not anything even approaching journalism, and if you think it is, you should really re-examine what you think you know as truth and critical analysis.
It is a dangerous element in Canadian society and cannot be allowed to be confused with credible news gathering or presenting organizations.

I certainly didn't make that claim Flash that the Rebel qualifies as journalism.
Journalism is what many major news organizations tend to be transitioning away from, in favor of much cheaper punditry and clickbait model. That transition is muddying the waters because now anyone can pen an article and give their thoughts with little to no facts to support it.
Perhaps I didn't make it clear. I never claimed the Rebel is journalism, it is largely shock punditry.
