Scum journalism of Canada

Saturday, September 1, 2018

Ben Franklin must be rolling over his graves over the unethical antics of the Toronto Star – which violated the most sacrosanct rule of journalism in its reporting last week.

But corrupt media from the Washington Post and CNN to the New York Times have rolled Franklin over so much since Woodward and Bernstein twisted the classic rules to bring down Richard Nixon in Watergate that if Franklin wasn’t already ground to dust, the last three years to journalism perversion clearly would have done the job.

Of course, with the Toronto Star owned by a glorified mail clerk, isn’t really a legitimate news organization, but part of the former New York Mayor’s liberal propaganda machine, doing its best to undermine much of American freedom as possible while pretending to be supporting the good old Red, White and Blue.

Bloomberg has done as much damage to America as Robert Moses did when turning the world into one vast highway, only Bloomberg’s agenda is more social, a new kind of liberal fascism that has done its best to dictate to other people about gun ownership, smoking cigarettes or the size of soda they should drink.

I haven’t really trusted Bloomberg since the day I met him on an exclusive golf club where he was hobnobbing with Silver, a New York Republican, at which time I began to understand that there really is not much difference between the two political parties, they are all part of the same old boys club – and what pisses them off most, is that Trump, who was once, isn’t any more, and they can’t control him or fool ordinary people like me into believing the old boys club has the best interest of ordinary people in mind.

Bloomberg has long corrupted journalism by turning it into a liberal propaganda machine, while at the same time taking pot shots at Fox News because it decided to become a similar network for the conservatives. So, it is not surprising the Toronto Star would publish off the record remarks made or not made by Trump in order to further this liberal agenda and derail trade talks that would have had a huge positive influence for the GOP in the upcoming mid-term elections.

When it comes to a power grab like the one we are seeing transpiring, the old rules of ethical journalism no longer apply. All those things that we got taught in college about right and wrong in being a fair journalist go out the window when it comes to power.

I would call what the Toronto Star did “yellow journalism” but that would be an insult to yellow journalists of the past. What the Toronto Star did isn’t journalism at all. It is pure corruption, but then it is merely following in the footsteps of media giants such as the Washington Post and the New York Times who have already stabbed journalism firmly in the back, leaving it a dead institution we can no longer rely on.
