I am very disappointed in the #cdnmedia. Their he said she said approach without fact-checking enabled some elected officials to lie to us about vaccines on tv and in press for two weeks. They let the misinformation out and let it grow bigger.
They betrayed Canada and Canadians.

Example of misinformation that is still floating around. They are starting to fix it only after two weeks. See the next tweet.

They are now fixing it. But why did they let those people lie to us for two weeks?

Why is there no accountability. Why has it become so easy, so unbelievably easy for the #cdnmedia to enable misinformation?! This is very scary.
And don't tell me they started pushing back. Yes they did, only yesterday after two weeks of letting elected members of #HoC to lie to Canadians unchallenged for the most part.
I can't bring myself to believe they did not know what they were doing.

@journo_dale you were one of the very few journalists that at least on twitter were very active calling out the misinformation.
I'd like to ask you, are Canadians pretty much on their own when #cdnmedia stops protecting them against misinformation? Is there no accountability?

This is what i mean. Here is a Canadian who feels he has been lied to for some time and is hoping it will stop. Isn't this shameful in a country like Canada?

Do you know why this keeps happening? Because the conservatives have realized that they can create the illusion of corruption, with the help of the media of course, if they keep introducing committees. No one will ask any questions. They will get headline after headline! 
Another one. See @CBCNews is producing the fact checking in the tweet itself but lets the headline mislead. The tweet will be buried, the headline will live.
Is this ethical journalism?

@nature praised Canada for its vaccine preparedness. See this.

How would you characterize this article by the Globe?
There has to be a mechanism against this. Otherwise we will just repeat the experience that damaged the United States so significantly.
