If you want to puppet messages for billionaires that’s all well and good but on behalf of working people who face significantly more hardships than they do it’d be very much appreciated if you didn’t use us as pawns when doing so.  |
I am not puppet messaging for billionaires or Bell or any other corporation. Certain realities in the media business are just happening but there is a massive difference between a TSN radio station in Edmonton talking about the 2 loser NHL team we have here in Alberta and the news division giving valuable and vital journalism.
Insert whatever policies, politics, concerns or values you hold near and dear to your heart, you have always been fairly well informed on this board. Are you going to go and report on the concerns and report back? Can we expect critical analysis and fact checking on an important criminal trial in the area from you? What scandal will you break or hit back on people in power with your sources? Probably not much because it isn't your job but than when it's nobody's job, what happens? Government and companies can than do literally whatever it is that they want to you and to me and to everybody else pays the price. It already happens already and we should be pushing back.
I get that this isn't a topic or concern for a lot of people and that's a shame. Canadian's a lot of the times have their noses in the air and are about as clueless as flies when it comes to a lot of matters. We take our lifestyle and our democracy for granted 100%. People in other countries don't cause they have experienced it firsthand and what happens when power corrupts. We need a strong, independent free press for the good of all.
