Justin Trudeau wants “massive changes” in the news landscape.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday blamed social media for preventing major news outlets from shaping public opinion the way they used to.
The Liberal Party leader took his message to the Conservative stronghold of Alberta, sitting down with radio host Ryan Jespersen for an exclusive 30-minute interview on his Real Talk podcast.
“There is out there a deliberate undermining of the mainstream media,” Trudeau said, answering a question towards the end of the interview. “There are the conspiracy theorists, there are the social media drivers who are trying to do everything they can to keep people in their little filter bubbles, to prevent people from actually agreeing on a common set of facts, the way CBC and CTV – when they were our only sources of news – used to project across the country, at least a common understanding of things.”
Earlier this month, Trudeau denounced the move by Bell Media to lay off many of its local journalists and sell 45 of its 103 regional radio stations, arguing that local journalism holds Canadian democracy together.
“There are massive changes that need to happen in our media landscape, and [the] government can try and create conditions and incentives for it to happen,” he told Jespersen on Wednesday.
“We’re putting money towards local independent media,” Trudeau added, having argued a moment earlier that such overt funding would compromise news outlets as mouthpieces of the government.
In June 2023, the Canadian parliament passed the Online News Act (ONA), under which search engines and social media platforms would have to compensate news outlets for posting their content. While Google has complied, Facebook is “choosing to be bad guys about this,” Trudeau told Jespersen. Meta has responded to ONA by blocking all news content by Canadian publishers on Facebook and Instagram.
Ultimately, it’s up to Canadians to declare they don’t want to accept the “encrapification of news,” Trudeau said, borrowing the phrase from British Columbia Premier David Eby.
Trudeau’s comments on the podcast also echoed those made by former US President Barack Obama in a May 2023 interview to CBS. Obama named “a divided media” as one of the things he was worried about, noting that the US once had “three TV stations … and people were getting a similar sense of what is true and what isn’t, what was real and what was not.”
“How do we return to that common conversation? How can we have a common set of facts?” the 44th US president wondered at the time.
Conspiracy theorists DO threaten mainstream media – by definition – by telling the truth. The truth cuts through their web of lies and enables people to see through “The Matrix” – the construct – and work out what is real.
How many want to remain in “The Matrix” and take the blue pill and how many want to be free and take the red pill?
Spot on Mark-the MSM lies are becoming more apparent as they scramble to save their morbid narratives.
Remember; the MSM is owned and run by Zionists with their ‘Global Agendas’. They have plans for their ‘Great Work’ that includes genociding the Gentile / Goyim as per their Talmud and the now-dynamited ‘Georgia Guide Stones’.
The murdering of the Palestinians en-masse is just a starter for the rest of us, but hopefully soon Tel Aviv will be a glass parking lot to where ‘they’ can’t ever hurt or harm anyone else ever again.
It is the word that will make You free
There is no other way
The MSM are masters of fiction, I do see any conflict myself.
If Castreau and Obama are upset about something, you can bet your bottom dollar whatever it is, is good for humanity.
Yes…the son of Fidel…Castro that is…no wonder he won’t take a DNA test!
Propaganda his government is paying for not hitting the mark? Maybe the taxpayers are entitled to a refund.
It is very nice to see Mr Trudeau, feeling the effects of what he created. It is not easy to deceive the population. Justin Trudeau is finished politically.. the good Canadian people will never vote for a twit like him again..
Everywhere, this man goes, he is heckled by the very people he represents. Trudeau would be unreservedly aware he is one of the most hated men on Earth. History has shown us that no matter how nasty and arrogant our leaders become they are always overturned. If Trudeau thinks he can fool a nation, he is absolutely delusional.
Cockroaches don’t like light
And scurry for cover
