That is the usual end-game for the fools who look no further than skin colour or tribe.
Dear readers,
Once upon a time, there was a thing we called bandwidth.
It was limited, and precious. You had to own a segment of it, and it was doled out by the CRTC.
If you rated...
If you could prove yourself worthy to the
Public Body
Responsible to the Elected Representatives
Owing their authority
To a free and fair Democratic vote of their
Constituents
(You and Me)
That
Gave
Them
the Power
to Decide
If
Those
Who
Wanted this bandwidth
To persuade other constituents with
Merited it
Based upon their commitment
To the Betterment of the audience by broadcasting important and
Truthful information
Over these channels
Given to them
In Trust
By The People
To ensure faithful communication of
True
Facts
And of opinion
Based on
True
Facts
Nowadays
We can all publish
Whatever rubbish
We wish
Not unlike the American homicidal maniac (TM)
Holding onto his 2nd Amendment rights
In God We Trust
American you say??
Why yes, because these platforms are
All.
AMERICAN:
(ABC = Google + this blog on blogger, and the notoriously easy to push stupid crap anyone made up youtube)
(Twitter)
(Facebook + Instagram)
MEANWHILE
Here in Canada, we created this thing called the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, but that does not have the slightest bearing on any crap we have from social media sites like those I mentioned above.
So we are impoverished of fact-based, multi-sourced information if we fail to go to the sources that abide by those standards.
Please, with a federal election on the horizon, avail yourselves not so much of:
- blogs such as mine...
- whatever BS you find in your FB newsfeed (or other social media "viral" crap)
and go here, where there are controls in place:
cbc.ca
globalnews.ca
CTVnews.ca
thestar.com
lapresse.ca
and anyone else beholden to Standards that you may call BULLSHIT on and expect a level of fact-checking decency
Now, don't expect them to get it all right all the time. Journalism is an art of imperfect humans, mind.
But do try to not get pulled in by the shit-spewers inspired by the likes of Goebbels.
It does you ill.
As it does us all
Good day, and peace and good (critical) reading to you all.

Hi Rural! Sorry to take a whole writ period to even notice your comment (my bad, not keeping up with the changes on this platform, and I was kinda wondering why it seemed like NOBODY EVER COMMENTED anymore!?) Now I know where to look for these. Quite a story with the Great Conservative Meltdown this weekend eh? Kinsella is a putz. I knew he was stinkin' and slinkin' when he started pumping Doug Ford's tires almost as soon as he stepped into the ring for Ontario PC leadership. Wow. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Hope we still have these rotten stinking Cons on the outside looking in when all the ballots are counted tomorrow night.
