Mayor Watson had claimed protestors ripped masks off people's faces.He's asked if he personally saw this. He says,"No I saw it reported in the media". Another instance of the tail wagging the dog.Politicians cite the media, and media cite the politicians. North Korea territory.

Canadians and Conservatives have known about the Trudeau government buying the media, but it’s nice to see him finally admit it…even if he does think it’s a laughing matter.

That time of year again.
But remember, journalists giving each other endless awards for publishing the 'right' type of stories is a huge driver of the crippling groupthink in our media.
Many great reporters who break stories that really matter boycott these love-ins altogether.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Following months of silence regarding threats and attacks against churches and pro-life groups, legacy corporate media outlets have confirmed that the attack on Paul Pelosi warrants resuming coverage of political violence.
"To anyone who doesn't speak out against this politically-motivated attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, I will say only this: your silence is deafening." Joe Scarborough of MSNBC addressed his viewer this morning in his first recent coverage of political violence amid several months of firebombed pregnancy centers and churches, an assassination attempt on a sitting Supreme Court Justice, and the running down of 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson in a truck for being a Republican.
The reason that journalists went from traditionally hating censorship to absolutely loving it is that journalists are now part of the state.
A multiyear effort by a group of investigative journalists from all over the world revealed that Karen Atkinson, a 49-year-old knitting blogger, podcaster, and radio host, has been the voice of every personality in NPR production for the last 20 years. Atkinson also teaches Gender Studies and Fat Studies at Wellesley College.
"I always thought all the voices sounded the same," said NPR listener Karen Owens. "That nasally, sort of mousy, high-pitched monotone. I guess I shouldn't be surprised it's all the same person. But I do feel a bit misled."
Jeremiah Patterson, the head of the group of investigative journalists that discovered Karen's identity, spoke to the media on Tuesday. "We first grew suspicious when we noticed that everyone on NPR sounds the exact same and thinks the exact same."
An NPR spokesperson declined to comment. Atkinson is expected to remain in her role.
Here's a real headline the Washington Post published about a suspected mass shooter
A major US university just had a mass shooting attack and this is how the Washington Post has chosen to cover the alleged attacker:
But this guy who just reportedly murdered three young men at the University of Virginia is a poor man with a troubled childhood. Just a "austere religious scholar" who went wrong.
I wonder why...
Could it possibly be that this shooting just doesn't fit the prevailing media narrative about mass shootings?
Ask yourself in these situations: What headline and coverage would this story receive if the suspected gunman were white?
