CBC's Rotten Tomatoes: US Lapdogs & Cold War Propagandists

Thread:
Cotton was one of the earliest targeted industries when Western backed NGO's and Think Tanks were trying to put Uyghurs out of work, because they knew it was an industry locals heavily relied on. Tomatoes are as well and the narrative is based on a lot of the same shoddy tactics.
You'll notice Adrian Zenz & his disciples, like France's mini-Zenz (Antoine Bondaz) ACTUALLY say there's NOT enough evidence to support coming to any conclusions, but they refuse to clearly say this in order to mislead others while covering their asses.

The condescension towards Africa continues, suggesting they couldn't possibly know any better and are easy targets to be deceived by the Chinese rather than knowing better than allowing themselves to be deceived by the West yet again.

This is when you can confirm without any doubt that these CBC "Investigative Journalists" were either working with tremendously negligent levels of due diligence or are well aware of the lies they are helping these US funded orgs to push.

Washington DC is full of Uyghur separatists funded by the US government & The NED to try and split China up. CBC found an anonymous Uyghur "escapee" oddly speaking Mandarin Chinese, conveniently located in Washington DC.

While Adrian Zenz is forced to admit in his reports there are many people who expressed satisfaction with the "suspicious" Chinese labour placement/employment agencies, he looked overjoyed that CBC found someone willing to claim the actual things he'd like people to conclude.
CBC added NO counter arguments or balance to their report. Not only did the NOT invite anyone on who disputes these claims, they FOUND someone who COULD have possibly added balance, but when realized they wouldn't support the preferred narrative, walked away from this opportunity
CBC showed no concern when they discovered that people like them may be responsible for companies unfairly sending ethnic minority workers home (becoming more & more common) & introducing racist policies, but they still decided to proceed with their consequence ridden dishonesty.
CBC and Adrian Zenz pretend to act like pressuring companies to abandon Xinjiang suppliers is suspicious and potentially an admission of guilt, acting like they're too intellectually stunted to understand the power of their very obviously unsubstantiated allegations/conclusions.
Look at how proud CBC reporter Asha Tomlinson is that she managed to manipulate ordinary people into supporting conclusions that lead to the introduction of racist policies abroad without any conclusive or even compelling evidence.
Thank you for the invitation to suggest stories to investigate @cbcmarketplace! Here's our idea:
Full video here. Takeaways from CBC's propaganda piece extends beyond correcting lies about Xinjiang. We were supposed to learn important lessons from the WMD story about trusting media outlets trying to convince us to believe something without evidence.

To knock Palestinians down & make sure they never get back up, you must destroy the very people who have the best hope of uplifting their people. Doctors, engineers, educators, the journalists who tell their stories & middle class people working their way up the best they can.

BREAKING: The US federal government has cut off the electricity supply and blocked the entry of food and fuel to Maine as part of a “total siege” strategy adopted on Thursday, in retaliation against the the Lewiston shooter.
Image
While Maine residents will not be permitted to cross into New Hampshire, the US government has said the right thing for Canada to do is open their borders to them, considering the humanitarian crisis that will unfold as a result of these cuts.
Maine residents have begun speaking out about the crisis that's unfolding and what they feel is a disproportionate/unfair response, but whenever they get a bit of airtime on a network, the hosts mostly just want to hear them say that they condemn the shooter & assault rifles. Image

This South African man, who once called the apartheid a delicious cake his grandpa enjoyed, is disgusted by "stupid" Chinese & "corrupt" Africans buying lavish luxury products/houses, but gushes over wealthy Americans & their big homes sufficiently separated from poor people.
In China he managed to feel "positive discrimination" and a skin colour privledge he always wished for, but is now cashing in on Sinophobia full-time, rebranding his experiences, crapping on the people who warmly welcomed him & saying America's the only place with no real racism. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here's a few example of the kinds of stuff this chap says, all quite on brand for his character. His racist/bigoted character would often come through in his older work (it's probably something difficult to hide), but he's really upped his game more recently to trend follow.

Dog whistles of course aren't always built on logic, but they're usually at least a bit better at appearing more ambiguous/discrete than this. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The virus spread freely for years elsewhere as he's complained about China not opening up. He wanted to travel in & out of China for so long and isn't concerned about the virus being brought in, but suddenly wants to once again paint Chinese folks as disruptive virus spreaders.

I told Canada's state broadcaster, ironically looking for state-sponsored influencers, how integrity-lacking media gives state-sponsored ASPI a free pass. They cut that out of their final report & proceeded to invite ASPI on with a free pass, never once mentioning their funding.
From our half-hour interview they used 3.5 seconds, didn't air my response to the claims made against me in their report, making it deliberately sound like I said the opposite of what I actually said. They privately agreed I was misrepresented and promised to issue corrections.
Even had they followed through, they know it's after the damage is done, even so, they promised to put a correction "everywhere the story lives", but continued selling that clip to other news agencies without any requirement to include the correction. Don't trust mainstream media Image

A classic. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs taking the BBC to school.
Correction: The BBC journalist in the video above wasn't Laura Kuenssberg, but Kathy Long (@ProducerKathy). Kathy was also caught lying in Xinjiang as well as breaking her promises made to people she ambushed while trying to manufacture a story.

To folks feeling conflicted seeing a gov't you hate roasting a news outlet you hate, remember it's largely these same news networks conditioning you to hate China to begin with. BBC wanted to do a hit piece on me, backing out after I asked questions back.
