Journalist Brian Palmer dissects the recent claims by the @CBCNews, in response to @Twitter, that it is not 'government funded media'.

2/

Timothy Caulfield just came out and unfairly criticized the #NCI for having, in my opinion, rightly characterized him as a government propagandist. Therefore, I'm going to tag him in every single post 🙂

@CaulfieldTim

3/

Mr. Palmer being sworn in.

4/

Mr. Palmer's bonafides.

5/

Mr. Palmer's characterization of the @CBCNews' overreaction of @Twitter's labeling of it as 'government funded media' was quite comedic.

Palmer: "The CBC IS government funded, it receives its funding from the government. It IS media."

@CaulfieldTim

6/

Mr. Palmer describes how the the Editor in Chief, @brodiefenlon, objected on the grounds that, according to @Twitter's own definition of the phrase 'government funded', the @CBCNews does not fall under that definition.

@CaulfieldTim

7/

Mr. Palmer compares @brodiefenlon's blog post to a page out of a Marvel comment 😂

@CaulfieldTim

8/

Mr. Palmer reads out @brodiefenlon's post claiming there was no involvement between the @CBCNews journalists and the @JustinTrudeau government. Mr. Palmer says that he previously testified for an hour and a half at the #NCI proving that there WAS involvement.

@CaulfieldTim

9/

Mr. Palmer says that what first tipped him off that the @CBCNews 'experts' were not objective scientists was the fact that those 'experts' sounded more like politicians with clear media training.

@CaulfieldTim

10/

Mr. Palmer then gets to Timothy Caufield who forms one of the handful of antagonists in the @CBCNews propaganda story Mr. Palmer is to set about telling.

@CaulfieldTim

11/

In 2020, the federal & Alberta governments took $380,000 of money it had previously taxed from us, and simply gifted it to Mr. Caulfield to focus on 'misinformation around cures'. In other words, OUR government used OUR money to push its lies.

@CaulfieldTim

12/

Mr. Palmer then describes how Mr. Caulfield would go to @CBCNews journalists like @nancyjcarlson, and those journalists would add legitimacy to Mr. Caulfield while conveniently suppressing the fact that he received funding from the @JustinTrudeau government.

@CaulfieldTim

13/

This information laundering operation worked so well that Mr. Caulfield created @ScienceUpFirst, brought on a bunch of actual scientists, and collected a second cheque from the @JustinTrudeau government, this time in the amount of $1.75M.

@CaulfieldTim

14/

Mr. Palmer describes how journalist @chrishallcbc helped launder (my words) Mr. Caulfield's information, and he does so in the most direct manner possible.

Palmer: "Chris Hall ended his career and in the last season he betrayed Canada!"

@CaulfieldTim

15/

Mr. Palmer proceeds in a similar manner, this time with @CBCNews journalist @adriearsenault, pointing out, again, how Ms. Arsenault suppressed the fact that Mr. Caulfield had taken money from the @JustinTrudeau government.

@CaulfieldTim

16/

Mr. Palmer points out another case of information suppression.

Palmer: "But he didn't say, 'he's a scientific advisor for ScienceUpFirst which receives $1.7M from the Trudeau government to make us take vaccines'."

@CaulfieldTim

17/

It appears that, although these doctors may have started out as left of center, the appeal of being featured by the @CBCNews was probably too appealing for them to pass up.

@CaulfieldTim

18/

Mr. Palmer then mentions another @CBCNews journalist who, again, fails to mention that Dr. Tara Moriarty was funded by the @JustinTrudeau government to sell a narrative.

@MoriartyLab
@NightShiftMD
@CaulfieldTim

19/

Mr. Palmer, mockingly, refutes Dr. Moriarty's claims, on @CBCNews, that there is no evidence that the vaccines do any harms. He goes immediately the government of Canada for this evidence.

@MoriartyLab
@CaulfieldTim

20/

Mr. Palmer describes the dirty tricks of the media in action.

- There are 262 excess deaths in NS
- The province did not give an explanation
- The @CBCNews called on @ScienceUpFirst
- @ScienceUpFirst blamed it on Covid

This is May 2023!

@CaulfieldTim

21/

Mr. Palmer then paints a similar picture for Dr. Samantha Yammine.

- Go through a cute conversation of her fear of needles
- Never mention she is an exec on @ScienceUpFirst
- Never mention $1.75M from @JustinTrudeau government

@heysciencesam
@CaulfieldTim

22/

Next, Mr. Palmer talks about how now, @ScienceUpFirst has 'embedded' one of its compromised (my words) scientists onto a show on the @CBCNews.

@CaulfieldTim

23/

Mr. Palmer points out that the prime directive of @ScienceUpFirst is to stop misinformation.

Palmer: "What is misinformation and who decides? Apparently it's the @JustinTrudeau government that pays them."

@CaulfieldTim

24/

Finally, Mr. Palmer comes back to @brodiefenlon comments at the beginning of his testimony.

Palmer: "So when Brodie Fenlon says 'the government has zero involvement in our editorial content or journalism', that's not true."

@CaulfieldTim

25/

Mr. Palmer then shows what the @CBCNews did when they got caught in their denial of being 'government funded media'. They attempted to hide the fact that they were two thirds government funded by using a 'fudged' y axis.

@CaulfieldTim

26/

Mr. Palmer points out how @brodiefenlon betrayed the Canadian audience. But he never betrayed the @liberal_party, calling him a 'good soldier' there.

He then shows the Liberal party's plans to lock down Canadians if re-elected (my words).

@CaulfieldTim

27/

Mr. Palmer talks about how a media 'cartel' called the Global Task force applied pressure on @Twitter to remove the 'government funded' label.

@CaulfieldTim

publicmediaalliance.org/global-task-fo…

28/

It's rather convenient that the President of this cartel (the Global Task Force) just happens to be the President of @CBCNews. The word 'incestuous' comes to mind.

@PresidentCBCRC
@CaulfieldTim

29/

Mr. Palmer then puts to the commission a set of obvious things that should be covered, or what he calls the 'story ideas'.

@CaulfieldTim

30/

I put this post here for all of you freedom loving Canadians to share with your network. It highlights perfectly what the @CBCNews is doing, how it's doing it, and what they will do when they get caught 'with their hand in the cookie jar'.

@brodiefenlon
@CaulfieldTim

31/

Mr. Palmer then makes six recommendations to the commission on how to reform the @CBCNews.

@CaulfieldTim

32/

In Mr. Palmer's mind, @Twitter was correct to label the @CBCNews as 'government funded' media for three reasons.

1. It's government funded
2. It uses government funded 'experts'
3. It repeats the government messaging

@CaulfieldTim

33/

Q&A from commissioner Drysdale about the death statistics on the government of Canada website. Mr. Palmer can't answer, claiming that it is a, most likely intentionally, difficult to use website.

@CaulfieldTim

34/

This is an almost comical slide where commissioner Drysdale refuses to believe the @liberal_party is that evil/delusional (my words).

@CaulfieldTim

35/

Commissioner Drysdale raises a good point as this graph of @CBCNews funding probably does not count federal advertising as federal funding.

Palmer: "I certainly suspect it. The whole thing's a sham."

@CaulfieldTim

36/

Mr. Palmer sees organizations like @ScienceUpFirst as a means of getting around the fact that in Canada we don't have pharmaceutical ads on television.

@CaulfieldTim

37/

When asked why the @CBCNews is not in attendance.

Palmer: "I think they would have a hard time wiping the egg off their face once they realize they have blood on their hands. They're not coming. They don't wanna hear this."

@CaulfieldTim

38/

Commissioner Drysdale asks why the media can't investigate these stories.

Palmer: "Won't. Not can't. My dad used to say 'won't lives on can't street'."

@CaulfieldTim

39/

Mr. Palmer, under questioning, says the @CBCNews has let itself become a propagandist of an indefensible cause which is promoting a vaccine that doesn't work and that hurts people.

@CaulfieldTim

40/

Commissioner Kaikkonen points to the issue of people casually being called 'experts' by the @CBCNews, asking at what point that word loses its meaning.

Palmer: "I don't think this is an error. I think it's by design."

@CaulfieldTim

41/

Commissioner Drysdale asks Mr. Palmer to comment on Bill C-11 and where things will go.

Palmer: "We see an almost instantaneous reaction where the CRTC was openly discussing eliminating Fox News."

@CaulfieldTim

42/

When asked whether the executives should be investigation for lying to the Canadian public.

Palmer: "Every single person, down to the technicians, should be investigated."

@CaulfieldTim

43/

Mr. Palmer has these words of caution for @Shawnbuckleylaw.

Palmer: "The problem here is they have the full support of the current government. And they are acting on behalf of the current government."

@CaulfieldTim

44/

Mr. Palmer's final words.

45/

I can't stop laughing at commissioner Drysdale's inability to accept just how crazy the @liberal_party is 🤣🤣🤣

46/

Short clip of Mr. Palmer pointing out how the CRTC has already started censoring content that we can and can't see.

47/

Short clip of Mr. Palmer calling for every person involved in this fraud to be investigated.

I would like to thank Mr. Palmer for standing up for his country and for having the courage to testify. I would also like to thank the #NCI for giving millions of Canadians hope.

To everyone else, please sign the NCI's petition, and donate if you can.
