I’ve written a lot about Rabble.ca the past few months. They came on my radar after (twice) publishing slanderous lies about me. Both times they took-down the attacks, but they refused to publish retractions. We’ve seen Rabble.ca publish a lot of bullshit since I’ve started following them, like Ethan “80,000” Cox misrepresenting the amount of …

MediaWatch: Zach Ruiter, Toronto Media Co-Op & BannockGate!
Update: Zach Ruiter is no longer working with the TMC, but he did produce this video while with them. An intrepid young reporter for the Toronto Media Co-Op (TMC) put together an interesting video titled Bannock Canadian Comfort Food? Devouring Culture. It’s a story about natives, anarchists, YouTube, political correctness and Scottish flat breads. And, just for some …

MediaWatch: Media Co-Op Cooks The Books On Occupy Toronto’s Costs To The City…
The Toronto Media Co-Op put out a rather humorous story today, claiming that Occupy Toronto saved the city of Toronto $83,440 during it’s encampment. First, the story is a day late and a dollar short- Eric Hamilton-Smith did this at Occupy Vancouver last November. But, at least, they admit that his work is the motivation for theirs. …

MediaWatch: Joshua Blakeney & Iran’s PressTV Sensationalize Quebec Shooting!
Q: What do you get when you put propagandistic monkeys behind a keyboard? A: The PressTV editorial staff… Wow, every time I think I’ve seen the worst reporting from Joshua Blakeney and PressTV they amaze me with more propagandist idiocy! Today, Blakeney went above and beyond- with very little information, he decided to sensationalize the …

MediaWatch: Anarchists Pleasure the CAW By Mourning The Last Crown Vic…
TMC are mostly anarchists- so much of their content is thoroughly anti-police. If they had their way there never would have been any police, nor police cars, in our society. Considering this, I’m wondering if any of them can see the irony in their article titled Auto Manufacturing Workers at a Crossroads. Did they actually print …

MediaWatch: Grouchy Garossino’s Logical Fallacy Folly
I first encountered Sandy Garossino on Twitter when I found her taking a personal attack on someone in defence of the TIDES Foundation: The funny thing is about this posting that it was Garossino who brought the word ‘terrorist’ into the conversation- the other people involved hadn’t. I thought this was strange, and it …

MediaWatch: Megaphone Misses The Boat On Vancouver DTES Policing…
Someone shared an article from Vancouver’s Megaphone magazine with me today- there’s so much wrong with this story I hardly know where to start. The story is about how Darrell Barnes, a mentally ill man who lived in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) was shot and killed by the police. They first started shooting him …

MediaWatch: Success! PressTV’s Joshua Blakeney Gets Real!
You may remember a couple of weeks ago when I published my MediaWatch story PressTV’s Joshua Blakeney Gets The Casseroles Wrong!, where I exposed how Blakeney was telling a mistruth about the Quebec student strikes not asking for free tuition. Well, it appears that MediaWatch has had a success- Blakeney has now changed his tune!

MediaWatch: Terry Milewski At The CBC Twists The Robocall Debate Like Licorice…
I’ve been a bit hesitant about Terry Milewski’s reporting on the Robocall issue. On the one hand, he’s done a good job covering the details- but, equally, I’ve always felt he hasn’t been critical enough of both sides. The Lefties were putting a lot of effort into sensationalizing the Robocall issue as the Right was …

MediaWatch: PressTV’s Stó:lō Fish Story Deception Continues…
The Stó:lō fish story is becoming more wild each day- each day it progresses it seems to me that we are observing an abuse of our court system. Each day also brings us more information that shows how incredibly biased and/or incompetent PressTV’s and Joshua Blakeney’s reporting really is.
