The CPC is seeking to suppress some members of the media at their convention, despite their lip service to freedom of the press.

    Soon they’ll start calling everything they disagree with “fake news” and will slander every news outlet.

      Or they’ll go the more traditional route and call it [lugenpresse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press#:~:text=Lying press (German%3A Lügenpresse%2C,not based on careful research.) Like their role models Hitler and Goebbels did.

      They already have been doing that under Pierre Poilievre. That’s why they constantly go after the CBC.

    It’s not like Harper suppressed the press.

    Except for all the goddamn time.

    All their bullshit about, “mah rights” is just projection. They have gone full neo-fascist and aren’t even bothering to try and hide it anymore.
