No establishment "deserves" our trust; it has to earn it. The Media Party tells us there are 57 genders, Trump was a Russian spy, we can't question the origin of the Wuhan virus (or even call it that!) and that our car is changing the weather. They're liars and they know we know.

The Media Party pretends to speak truth to power but in Canada especially they are servants not critics of power. They're either owned outright by Trudeau (the CBC, which is larger than all private news media combined) or rented (the perpetual newspaper bailout). They are PR men.
The Media Party holds itself out as the unofficial opposition when they hate a politician, usually a conservative (Trump, Harper, Rob Ford, Ron DeSantis, Kristi Noem). But they are hagiographers for politicians they love (AOC, Ilhan Omar). They think we can't tell.
In Canada, the Media Party actually is a party. All the large journalism unions take their members' dues to fund left-wing SuperPACs, registered to campaign against conservative politicians -- the very politicians they cover as "reporters": unifor.org/en/blog/unifor…
As the Media Party merges with the government, they rage against any hold-outs. Our own tiny company is an example -- they banned us from the Parliamentary Press Gallery and we needed a judge to order them to let us cover the election debates: decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/fc-cf/decision…
The Media Party just voted to allow Xi Jinping's propaganda agency, called @XHnews, whose reporters do double duty as spies, to remain a member in good standing. We're banned; China's dictatorship is welcome. But sure: they're giving us the straight news on China.
I love those words "misinformation" and "fake news" -- coming from a Media Party that has been uniquely uncritical of the pandemic, from unreliable PCR tests to exaggerated "case" counts to absurd modelling and ever-changing, unscientific lockdowns. Do they think we don't notice?
Journalists are generally illiterate and innumerate when it comes to anything scientific; you can see their credulity on the pandemic just like with the previous invisible menace, global warming. So they become cheerleaders to power.
We're now in the 12th month of "two weeks to flatten the curve", and it's become the gravest violation of civil liberties in Canadian history. We're effectively under martial law and reporters' only question is, "why aren't you going harder"?
If you think journalists deserve your trust, especially establishment media closely affiliated with power, just give this leaked footage another look, and remember that they called anyone who was concerned about Jeffrey Epstein a "conspiracy theorist":
Another example: it was well-known that NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo sent thousands of seniors to their deaths by shipping sick patients into nursing homes. He's now under FBI investigation. But the Media Party covered that up, and even gave him an Emmy(!) just until Trump was gone.
So yeah. Not really going to accept the Media Party gaslighting me about how trustworthy they are, and about how any contrary narratives are "fake news" or "disinformation".
