    Conservatives everywhere hate fact checking because it overwhelming checks their facts. That isn’t because of bias, it’s because they are overwhelmingly the ones telling lies. Have they considered not telling lies?

    The short that Rachel Gilmore posted to her YouTube channel where she plays the recorded audio from the call she had with the CTV producer of the segment is really like, morally offensive because the producer is a fluent speaker of Corporate Bullshit but you can see right through it.

    Journalism is all about informing the public with stuff they need to know, not necessarily what they want to hear.

    CTV failed the Canadians on that one.

    Yep, I’m livid. I emailed [email protected] and subscribed to her Patreon. She also has a Substack.

    I also joined Steve Boots’ Patreon as well. I was already a member of his YouTube channel. He introduced me to her.

    Supporting journalism like this is vital.
