I mean, when you want to censor something but don't want to actually be accused of censoring it, you blame it on mental health issues, right?

lol since when have these "news"organizations acted professional?
Murrow, in particular, is essentially the patron saint of broadcast journalism. The path which he paved made way for a whole generation of reporters who valued honesty and integrity. Names like Cronkite, Sevareid, and Rather. It's important to remember that, at that time, News was considered to be a prestigious loss-leader for radio and television stations. The news department was not expected to turn a profit. In fact, news programming was, uniquely, free of sponsorship in the early years. Then, unlike today, entire 30 / 60 minute programs tended to be one continuous block of content, "brought to you by" a single flagship sponsor. Contrast this to today, where the program is routinely interrupted by commercial blocks, each containing short messages from a variety of different sponsors. Today, of course, infotainment dominates the landscape. The reality is that broadcasters are struggling to remain relevant against Twitbook feeds and simple infographics. This isn't a new phenomenon. It started in 1987 with the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. Men like Ed McLaughlin and Rush Limbaugh were quick to recognize the opportunity presented by this, and pioneered the now-mainstream idea of hyperbole as news. Competition was quick to arise. Video killed the radio star. And echo-chamber bloggers (from Huffington to Crowder) who disguise opinion as fact are killing journalism. |

Realistically speaking, I'd say that "professionality" in broadcast news started in the late 1930s, when Edward R. Murrow and William L. Shirer were hired by CBS and assigned to London. When Murrow (while in Poland arranging a broadcast of children's choruses) learned of the German annexation of Austria, he recognized the likely significance of this, and successfully petitioned CBS management to charter a broadcast called European News Roundup, which grew, along with the war, into a major and respected organization.

I did not fully believe this until I went to the source. I am more or less at a loss for words. This is not the conduct of a professional news organization. It's becoming more dystopian here by the day. Last Friday, the leader of an official political party was arrested after crossing provincial borders while conducting political rallies (small outdoor rallies at that). This is all being done under the pretext of "public safely", but the actual science (outdoor transition rates, vaccinations, etc) doesn't support the insane rules that are in place. Most of the country is still under fairly strict lockdowns, with small outdoor gathering limits (5-10 people). This blatantly violates the Charter of Rights, and more and more people seem to aware of the fact that we have no real freedom here. They are arresting pastors for practicing their religions, and fining people massive amount's of money for violating their illogical and sporadic Covid edicts. I live in Nova Scotia where just a month ago there was an injunction to prohibit protests against government mandates telling people they could not see their families or freely associate with people. The disabling of comments on CBC articles is only the latest step to silencing dissenting voices or criticisms of Canadians as they slowly destroy any semblance of a free and fair society. I fear for what the future could hold if this trend continues... |

I like how they skipped saying anything about the BLM terrorists

TL;DR. Is that article about how the glowies recruited people for the 6th because the demand for [white] crime is greater than the supply?
