If Canadian journalists could be imprisoned for spreading misleading #misinformation & demonstrably false #disinformation there would be quite a lot of #journalists in jail these days. It's FAR worse than just misquoting people, some spread lies they FAIL to #FactCheck.

Sadly, there are some truly moronic "journalists" in Canada, and not just at the CBC. . .
I have direct personal experience of demonstrably false BS being reported by #TrulyMoronicJournalists.

Sometimes I wonder if "those columnists", & I include #LaPresse columnists, #LeDevoir columnists, & #TheGazette columnists in this, even genuinely believe the misleading & even demonstrably false BS they are spreading in their opinionated opinion pieces.

Regrettablement, un des raisons pourquoi très peu de gens veulent payer pour le #journalisme ces jours çi est parce-que ce n'est pas vraiment fiable.
Il y trop de reportages dans les médias de masses qui sont malhonnêtes.
J'ai parlé de ça ce matin:

A mendacious Unitarian Universalist #ClergyAbuse cover-up enabler told multiple MSM "journalists" that there has been no #ClergySexAbuse in the U*U "church". These "journalists" not only did not question this insane BS claim, they reported it as #TheTruth.

LOL! Pierre-André Normandin aka P.A. Normandin, le chef de division aux actualités générales de La Presse depuis 2019, vient tout juste de me bloquer à cause de ça. . . 🤣😇

Petit constat: Plusieurs "journalistes", incluant Yves Boisvert, semble avoir de la difficulté à distinguer les #mensonges de #LaVerité. . .
Truc de pro: Plusieurs "églises" #UnitarianUniversalist ont vecu des #inconduitessexuellesduclergé.

I called a spade a spade some years ago when I told a veteran #RadioCanada reporter:
"Vous n'êtes pas un #journalist, vous êtes un #propagandiste."
He bluntly responded:
"C'est mon boulot."
i.e. "It's my job."

Pis, comment ça va l'industrie des "journalistes"?
Leurs #crédibilité a chuté de plus de la moitié en moins de 10 ans.

One way that misleading #misinformation, & demonstrably false #disinformation, gets spread to the public is due to lazy, incompetent, biased aka "activist", or just plain corrupt #MainstreamMedia "journalists" who UNcritically report BS & lies to the public with ZERO #FactChecking. . .

"On voit chez plein de gens une conviction d’avoir raison, une absence d’humilité, une incapacité à se remettre en question et à se dire : peut-être que je ne connais pas tous les enjeux.
Les avocats, évidemment, alimentent et amplifient le problème."

It's not a "narrative".
It's a verifiable fact.
And I am by no means the only person who has direct personal experience of #MainstreamMedia "journalists" spreading misleading #misinformation and demonstrably false #disinformation with complete impunity. Zero accountability.
#Misinfo101 #FakeNews
Are you sure about that?
The law that prohibited spreading false news was repealed in 2019.
There is little or no proper oversight of, and #accountability for, news media that spread misleading #misinformation and demonstrably false #disinformation.
I speak from personal experience.
#Misinfo101
Fair enough, but I'm speaking in general terms.
I'm sure you'll agree with me that "respected newspapers and magazines" in the USA and Canada, and other Western countries, cannot be replied upon to never spread misleading #misinformation and outright false #disinformation.
#Misinfo101 #FakeNews
I suggest you take a closer look at "the various national print media" in Canada.
Many if not most "newspapers" are guilty of spreading misleading #misinformation and demonstrably false #disinformation aka #FakeNews to their readers.
Ditto for broadcast media...
#MediaLiteracy #Misinfo101 #PolCAN
LOL! As if "respected newspapers and magazines" never spread misleading #misinformation & demonstrably false #disinformation to their readers, whether in print on paper or on screens online. . .
The #FalseNarrative that MSM doesn't spread disinformation is #FakeNews.
#MediaLiteracy #Misinfo101
I agree that disinformation, not to mention misinformation, poses a threat to #CanadianUnity, security, #democracy, & media.
So why are #Canadian #MainstreamMedia outlets allowed to spread #misinformation & #disinformation with little or no oversight & #accountability?
#Misinfo101 #PressFreedom
Can you name some Canadian news outlets that meet "the most stringent ethical standards" other than the Narwhal?
I can assure you that many #MainstreamMedia outlets do not meet "the most stringent ethical standards", & there is little viable enforcement of #JournalisticEthics.

Journalism is printing something that someone does not want printed. Everything else is public relations. George Orwell
#MainstreamMedia does not necessarily = reputable media.
Rather too many MSM "journalists" are guilty of spreading misleading #misinformation & demonstrably false #disinformation.
People who do responsible #FactChecking can see through MSM's #FalseNarratives aka #FakeNews.
#Misinfo101 #CdPdQ
"We do have many great journalists. But too many propagandists too."
Exactly.
FAR too many #MainstreamMedia "journalists" are biased-activist #propagandists, or lazy &or incompetent "stenographers" who are glorified #PRhacks.
#JournalismJobs #Journalism #PublicRelations #MSM #Misinfo101 #FakeNews
Can you trust your "journalists"?
I'm not painting all #journalists with the same brush, but far too many #MainstreamMedia journalists spread #misinformation & #disinformation because they don't do proper #FactChecking & FAIL or refuse to seek & report "the other side of the story"...
#Misinfo101
Many #MainstreamMedia "journalists" are essentially paid propagandists too, and this is not new. It's been going on for decades, if not centuries.
So the mainstream media "news" that's behind #paywalls can contain #misinformation & #disinformation too.

Will these #TopCanadianJournalists taking the stage at #HotDocs Cinema to discuss #disinformation, polarization, and what’s at stake in the 2025 election on March 20th, be discussing misleading #misinformation, and demonstrably false #disinformation, spread by MSM journalists?
#CDNmedia #Misinfo101
"CJFE stands with those who risk their safety to report the facts."
No you don't.
And too many Canadian journalists, inc. #CJFE members, spread misleading #misinformation and demonstrably false #disinformation themselves, with zero #accountability for their #JournalisticMalpractice.
#Misinfo101
Sadly, that a LOT of 21st century journalists...
As far as I am concerned, such #disinformation spreading #journalists are pathetic #propagandists and PR hacks.
