  1. The legacy media was already saturated with progressive, ignorant, and lazy Jacobins and Bolsheviks before the Spawn subsidized their employment. He didn’t need to buy them off. They were already in the tank. He just delayed their natural career path to putting downward pressure on the fast food labour market.

  2. One of the greatest threats to democracy today is the growing belief that government has the responsibility to correct misinformation among citizens.

  3. Like the stockmarket industry, journalists and media companies should have to write a disclaimer on their reports and opinion columns that details their conflicts of interest. This should all include wage subsidies, grants, affiliations with foundations/charities/think tanks/board/political organizations etc, and familial or romantic relationships. Most of the journalists in Canada have economic and relationship ties with the Liberal Party.
