“You often hear people say the news of full of lies, but that is not exactly right. Much of what you see [in the media] is, in fact, true in the literal sense. It could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks’… But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true. At the most basic level the news you consume is a lie… Facts have been withheld on purpose; along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated. [They are] misleading you.” -Tucker Carlson, May 9, 2023
How true. As Manitoba’s major media outlets begin covering the issue of sexually explicit materials for kids in libraries, those who have followed this story from the beginning can see the partial truths, the bias, and the overt lies being disseminated. More concerning, however, is the overt censorship of the Criminal Code of Canada, Sections 152 and 163.
The media is not willing to make the appropriate corrections. They do not appear to be concerned with balanced and objective journalism. And they are certainly not willing to allow the core message to ‘leak out’ into the minds of the general public – that when the average person examines these books through the lens of the Criminal Code, there is no doubt that something is very, very wrong.
And did anyone else notice that the journalist who wrote the ‘breakthrough’ article for The Winnipeg Sun, is in fact, fully funded by the Government of Canada as an independent journalist?
So here it is. The request for corrections sent to The Winnipeg Sun, The CBC and The Winnipeg Free Press.
