Canadian gov’t-funded panel claims media showing ‘both sides’ of a story helps spread ‘misinformation’
The Council of Canadian Academies argues that fair and balanced reporting creates opposition to policies such as climate change.
A Canadian scientific panel that receives funding from the federal government seemed to assert in a new report last week that the standard journalistic practice of showing two sides to a story is to blame for a rise in media “misinformation.”
Showing two sides to a story, the Council said, leads to “bad actors” who target and “manipulate media outlets by using journalistic norms and standards to amplify misinformation and extremist messaging.”
SPEACHLESS !!
EVEN THE LIBTARDS CAN’T TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUS
I am incredulous. Only in Canada could this shit even come up.
