Loosening restrictions around foreign ownership has been one of the most insidious and damaging legacies of the Harper governments.

Isn't it funny how they're the ones always complaining about fake news, but these are the ones that are spreading it.

Every accusation is a confession with these fucks. And I do mean literally every single fucking one.

Not so funny, not so ironic. It's purposeful, they aren't doing it accidentally.

All Post Media affiliated media are majority owned by American interests ..... the other owners are a European German conglomerate, another chunk is the American billionaire Leon Cooperman and about 1% is Canadian investors.

Anyone that reads that junk is literally reading international propaganda that is trying to influence our country.

Yup, this was floating around in Canadian subreddits

If you use search to find news, those sites will come up often.

Use a browser extension like "uBlacklist" and block them from even showing up in search.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I contacted them about wanting them to stop delivering the Sun to our new to us house, they told me they only see a subscription for another one of their journals and stopped that one... We're still getting the Sun...

Well, you have will have lots of paper to train a puppy, or line a few bird cages

It's BBQ season and we use briquettes!

[–] JoeDyrt@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

So they want you have it anyway!

Billionaire assholes recently realized they can just buy respected newspapers.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing recent about it. They've never not been owned by billionaire arseholes.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

No. Stop that. In this specific decade, several major papers of record have been bought by assholes and jerked hard to the right.

"you" im 100% sure i dont read any of these without even checking the list.

"You" might not but there millions of "you's" that do and they play a large part on who gets elected. This is quickly rising as being one of the most fundamental problems we have.

There's been zero systematic actions from any level of governments, platforms or even on most communities level like this one. None of those people even want to talk about this being a issue.

Weird, I could have sworn Babcock was illiterate.

No, most media I consume does not have a maga bias.

Who would consume that crap?
