I get a lot of joy out of reading political discussions, hearing what others have to say and offering my own opinions from time to time, which is why I read and post here.
But this ongoing narrative that Trudeau has bought and paid for the media in this country is ridiculous and (for me) is straight up conspiracy level BS. It's political discourse for idiots.
Trudeau is a terrible PM in lots of legitimate ways and can justifiably be criticized for lots of things he's said, done, policies, whatever. But it drives me nuts that people still go to these conspiracy level things. For me, it's the same as the people in the USA that called the 2020 election rigged. It's way out there conspiracy BS that has no place in serious political discussions.
Now, I understand there are idiots in the world, but I start to really lose my mind when politicians use this conspiracy-level BS to fundraise for themselves or to stir up their own base.
Seeing people on this board talk about some of this crap like its legitimate political discussion is mind-numbingly dumb. It's twitter-level garbage, that the vast majority of the people in this country don't think or care about.
You want Trudeau gone? Focus on the real issues. But Poilievre claiming the CBC is biased is nothing more than him stirring up the idiots of our society to create more twitter rage against Trudeau.
You think the media is biased? No #### sherlock. They've always been biased and always will be. They were biased in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s too. The media is just a bunch of people and people are biased. You're biased, I'm biased, we're all biased. Welcome to reality, where we all have our own life experiences that inform how we view the world. But it doesn't mean everyone is bought and paid for. FFS, I can't believe that some of you believe this nonsense.
