As most people know “The New York Times” has a statement in its masthead: “All the news that’s fit to print”. It’s been there for a long time. But its true meaning has always been this, ‘All the news that “we decide” is fit to print.
It isn’t what they report that counts, It’s what they don’t.
I don’t often read the local newspapers. When I go to the local supermarket and pass by the newspaper rack I’ll lean over and glance at the headlines. My sample is small and unscientific but it seems that very little is reported on the trucker’s freedom protest in Canada.
I did read this online line at Yahoo news.
“Though the rally has been mostly peaceful*, police have expressed concern about extremist rhetoric coming from far-right groups among the protesters. As well as reported racial and homophobic abuse, some danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial.
Nearly 80 criminal investigations have been opened in relation to the protests, including for alleged hate crimes and property damage. Some two dozen people have been arrested.”
(*This was what the media called “mostly peaceful” in the summer of 2020. One would think this is Canada’s version of January 6th.)
The corporate media (here and in Canada) has chosen sides, in what it decides to report, the spin it will put on it, and what it decides to ignore.
All hail the Truckers of Canada.
