Yes, this is true. All media is controlled by the far right and they control the narrative.
But there are resistors and journalists who are employed or independent, who tell us the real story in articles that we must assemble to get a cogent narrative.
Read as much as you can from multiple sources and know the author and who you can trust.
Media needs to be redone. It’s current form is unviable to democracy. But we are in no position to do that, yet.
The goal is to establish that position and eliminate the fifth columns planted in our democratic institutions in order to destroy them from the inside.
A clean sweep and start again.
After each is fully vetted for commitment to democratic norms and principles.
There’s little reform will do. We need to re form the media to accomplish the tasks it’s meant to do: keep the public informed.

How many of those 81,000 are going to die waiting? Any estimates? Cancer patients, heart patients, lung patients? Transplant patients?
No wonder we have a shortage of ambulances. All these patients are moving into acute medical crisis situations.
When will Albertans have had enough of the inadequate medical services available for the 4.7 Million residents? What’s the point of going to the doctor to find out what’s wrong if you can’t access treatment to address the problem?
I hope people recognize the truth since it’s biting them in the ass now.
How many anti democratic bills need to be passed before the public realizes we no longer live in a true democracy.
This is called guided democracy.
So if Koch industries purchases 10,000 memberships in each riding, do you think they’ll mind if the people they are bought for vote against Koch interests when choosing a candidate? Especially if a little incentive is also provided.
So why bother to gather people from across the globe representing NGOs, several foreign relations departments and some international leaders to opine on democracy?
What ultimate purpose does this serve?
Sharing ideas about democratic best practices is great. But sharing best practices of Google and Microsoft is supposed to accomplish what?
Isn’t the attack on democracy using network connections the largest problem?
New Caledonia referendum a harbinger of violence? Decolonization and self determination during a time of global crisis and chaos brought on by climate change, a global pandemic and global economic insecurity and transition.
While this analysis is from the perspective of France’s regional interests, I don’t see any evidence of acknowledgement of adversaries and possible annexation. The splintering of nations during a time of great crisis occurred before WW2.
Review maps of Europe, Middle East & Asia in 1918-1923.
During the global Spanish Flu pandemic that killed estimated 100 million people, several European, Middle East and Asian ethnic groups asserted independence. But hegemony shaped national boundaries through treaties.
If every child matters, make these children matter the most.
Society should be doing all it can to provide for these children and young adults.
Shuffled from home to home. Familial ties cut or severely strained, these kids are vulnerable.
Why bother removing them from their caregivers if they end up dead from suicide, substance abuse or physical abuse?
Much like churches (Protestant & Catholic) profited financially from residential schools, private (non profit) agencies profit from children being placed in care.
Good to know that every opposition party considers taking that risk preferable to dealing with the situation at the CSIS oversight committee, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.
All parties have representation on that committee.
But opposition parties want to make the information public. Even though it’s a threat to our national security and international relations.
I must admit, I’m curious to know what happened. But not so curious that I can’t wait until it’s appropriate to be publicly released.
