Media Bias

[Hermit]

Um, 'Canadian Style' sex was born here. It is a strange, small backwater though.

Never heard of that, do you care to develop? or at least orient me toward a relevant source of information?
I feel I must ask, because, even today, I wanted to find some information on the net, and did not succeed in that endeavour, either because my google fu is miserable, or because, indeed, nefarious malefactors hid the information I was in need of so shamed were they of their onw actions.

Corporate media source, so trust it at your peril...

No mention of "'Canadian Style' sex". Just a quote saying “A Canadian is someone who knows how to have sex in a canoe,” and a statistic showing that the vast majority of Canadians have never had sex in one.

Given the choice between trusting corporate media source and our member from Yellowknife I'll give the former a provisional and qualified nod.

That depends on whether he knows the difference between a J stroke and a C stroke.

You guys are just jealous because you don't know where to put the paddles.

[Joe]

You don't have much room to talk if you didn't get my little joke, but you put the paddles where it's wet.

Well, if knowing how to do that in such a place is a requirement, I guess I'd better go to the embassy give back my passport and citizenship documents...

You're a Canadian? WTF? All this time I took you for a Quebecois.

[Svartalf]

Well, until they give you a Québec passport with "Je me souviens" on the cover, I'll have to do with the old maple leaf one.

Oh, I got it.

Still can't paddle for shit, so I can't DO it if you call me on it, but I get the boat to move.

A bit.

Frothy Mix is so damned predictable.

Santorum, who gave CNN credit for keeping him around for several years despite criticism from the left, conceded that the network “has a right to fire me if they don’t like what I’m saying or what I am doing.”

While adding that he has “no animus” toward CNN and “appreciates the opportunity” the network gave him, he also leaned hard into conservative grievance culture, claiming that the “intolerance of the left is really the issue here and the cancel culture that is flowing from it.”

Furthermore, the pro-Trump pundit even claimed that he’d heard from “many CNN contributors who talked to me afterwards who are very concerned about the cancel culture that’s now hitting them at CNN.”

I don't pay enough attention to CNN to say whether they employ other blockheads who're prone to casually making racist comments, but to hear Santorum tell it, there are several.

Is it just me, or has CNN turned from a fairly good information source into a pretty mediocre one, that has gone the Fox route in becoming more attached to its political and other positions than to the actual facts?

I can't tell for the actual tv channel, since I never watched them, but there was a time when I checked their site regularly, but one day I stopped, and when I tried going back since, I just didn't feel the same right vibes a before...

I don't watch television, so I only see CNN from time to time, and they do appear to have declined. The last time I saw CNN, Anderson Cooper was reporting and I was struck by how his delivery had changed. His impartial manner of 20 years ago was gone, and he left no doubt through his tone and expression where he stood on the story he was reporting. It's sad to see.

[Cunt]

I guess 'Anderson Coopers' are just as easy to buy as politicians.

Epstein didn't kill himself. ABC (owned by Disney) spiked the story deliberately (as broken by PV).

CNN, if I recall correctly, covered all of that mess as if it wasn't important. Or as if they were covering up for their friends.

[L'Emmerdeur]

Well, that settles that.

Meanwhile, the Newsmax blithering head who was recently suspended for antisemitic remarks has now decided that he needs to expose the horrible, insidious effort of a breakfast cereal company to normalise gay people. Won't somebody please think of the children?!!?

The Lucky Charms idiocy is nearly ten years old, but this numpty bigot has also latched onto a more recent development to spew his outrage over.

'Newsmax Host Freaks Out Over Lucky Charms "Gay Leprechaun" and Kellog's "Forcing Kids to Be Confused About Their Gender"'

Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield had a homophobic Tuesday night freak out over kids’ breakfast cereals.

After being strongly criticized two weeks ago for disgusting antisemitic remarks, Stinchfield is back to attack the LGBTQ community with a segment on “woke” cereal and “gayness.”

Kellog’s last month announced a special LGBTQ Pride month cereal called Together With Pride, a collaboration with the folks at GLAAD that Stinchfield says is “forcing our kids to be confused about their gender first thing in the morning.”

“Come on man,” the Newsmax host cried, blasting Together With Pride. “The cereal is Rainbow hearts, covered in edible glitter. How nice. Give me a break. Here’s the worst part, the cereal slogan, ‘too amazing to put into a box,’ and then lists a space for kids to write in their own pronouns.”

All that was too much for the Newsmax host, who decided it was time to also go after Lucky Charms for its “prancing” “gay leprechaun.”

“Anyway, isn’t Kellogg’s a little late to this woke game by the way? General Mills has, I think General Mills has a gay leprechaun, right? Well, my producer Carly asked me, ‘is that leprechaun really gay?’ I said I don’t know, maybe: he wears high heeled shoes, prances around in tights, leads me to believe, probably, that little Lucky Charm leprechaun might be gay.”

[Cunt]

With so much of media being so biased against gays, it's no surprise that they aren't allowed to advertise. Corporations everywhere hide their rainbows cleverly.

(spoilered so as not to upset those who think 'the gays' are still set upon by the 'mainstream')

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

In other news, I heard a terrific interview, by a feminist, of an individual who de-transitioned, and then some (anonymized) parents who had gone through their children encountering these issues, and navigating them.

The Femsplainers, if you are interested in podcasts. Pretty interesting perspective. Glad I heard it.

“forcing our kids to be confused about their gender first thing in the morning.”

--excellent. With a few tweaks it would read like Lewis's demons.
