Cult MTL on Bluesky

As the Conservatives blow a 30-point lead in the polls, we remind you that Canada’s mainstream media still chooses not to fact-check Pierre Poilievre.

“Poilievre has benefitted immensely from legacy media’s inability to challenge conservative bullies.”

    The Post Media brands have never been seen as reputable though

      Maybe not by you, but plenty of Canadians consume content from them.

          That’s a very big assumption, and based on how the country is moving (deeper into conspiracy theories and right-wing), I disagree.

            Sadly, I’ve learnt only 63% of Canadians think climate change is man made anymore

      Sure, that doesn’t mean Postmedia isn’t snapping up newspapers in small communities all across Canada.
      As a comparison, Fox News isn’t seen by anyone rational as reputable. And look at what they’ve had a hand in?
