Right-wing media starts here
Radio-Canada and CBC both report Thursday on a right-wing media outlet, run by two onetime McGill students, right from Montreal. Critic Nora Loreto thinks the CBC calling them a “blurred line” between journalism and pamphleteering is a bit on the soft-pedaling side. At a quick glance – I’m not sending them clicks – they’re mostly parroting boring and pointless criticisms of Justin Trudeau right now. There are legit criticisms to be made of Trudeau, but you won’t find them on a platform like that one.

hmm, well, they’re more transparent than all the underground shills/bots on social media.

The kind of ineffective and sophomoric “criticism” of Trudeau and other state actors, actually helps promote our boring and visionless elite by glamming them with faint barbs (daming with faint praise in reverse).
It’s yet another hegemony strategy.

Sadly, I fear that Trudeau et al are incapable of such subtlety, and it’s really just a couple of overconfident noobs playing at legitimacy with recycled meme-logic. Such is the state of the current political landscape.
