It is absolutely what is happening, they are foregoing profit because they are afraid of the twitter mob. Employees now band together and sign petitions deriding their employers and force them to bend the knee to the woke.

Like many you think information on Covid is static and what was being observed last March may or may not still have relevence a year plus later.

News reporting will never be agreeable to everyone on everything but one big difference with the MSM is they are held accountable to a Journalistic Standard that the online sources are not. In fact for them the more outlandish the more people seem to believe them as fact and that is a greater danger than any MSM story that may be presented incorrectly and have to be retracted or corrected. And contrary to popular posting Twitter, Face Book and Youtube are not Journalistic Standards that have any oversite.
lmao!

Laugh at your own garbage, when did CNN become MSM or are they like Fox, a valid source for news when it supports your views and total rag when they speak out of place against the Rights point of view. And reading the AP article, whats the matter don't like referenced negatives being show against fearless leader...

CNN & FoxNews would both be considered MSM. If you are a wide-circulation newspaper/magazine or a TV broadcaster, you are MSM.

this is bias:

Quote:
has said Mexican immigrants were “bringing crime” and were “rapists” and argued there were “very fine people on both sides” after violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, left one counterprotester dead.
the easiest way to spot bias is anytime a "journalist" chooses quotes that are incomplete sentences, and often just a word or phrase - as above.

WHAT? It's been all over the news in Canada. Not buried any where.

The Residential schools have been under attack for years now -- along with the fact that missing indigenous women are not given the focus they should be .

But you would have to regularly read and follow Canadian news. I do....and since the discovery this findings of these remains has been front and center in the news, on social media, in print, etc.

I don't know where you think it is buried -- maybe on Reddit but.....

Totally agree.

So when someone posts a story in a thread or on Facebook or Twitter -- I always seek out the source.

Zerohedge and Breitbart are notorious for piecing together a piece and leaving out key details.

But sure -- MSM does it too.

Your bias hears him say that it is a peaceful protest in that moment with the violence in the background.

That's your feelings. That's not what they were reporting.

And it is true that most of the violent nights of riots, were preceded by daytime marches and protests that were uneventful.
