The citizen journalist is most needed in Canada as we have a government subsidized(read bought off) corporate media which is Justin Trudeau's Ministry of Propaganda.
The Canadian "Legacy" MSM are currently being funded to the tune of $1.2 billion a year(in American terms it's more like $12-15 billion a year).
Trudeau's government are putting the final touches on rolling out official online censorship which would effectively call any media source criticizing the government, his policies and himself as hate speech and criminalize it. Means removal, heavy fines and possibly prison time for the guilty parties.
Here is the opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre's response to Trudeau's planned actions, be prepared for some scorching, in Canadian terms, comments from him.
TV is going to collapse. Maybe they will play the Star Spangled Banner one last time, before it all goes black. I imagine it will be a shock to people who spent 80 years watching CBS from 6 am until midnight.
Great article! In High School, in the mid-1960's I was associate editor of the local hometown High School Paper, a once per month paper of an average of eight 8 1/2" X 11" pages.
Our journalists could run circles around today's average MSM journalist! They new how to write, starting from the most news worthy in the opening paragraph or two and then giving the rest of the story in descending order so whenever the reader decided to quit reading a given article the "big news" was not in the last few paragraphs.
Many of today's MSM journalists remind me of "snowflakes" who need "safe spaces" and "play dough" to feel secure when challenged!
They are all laying off and giving up really too easily. It's not difficult to actually pick up the banner of original journalism and start to research directly into the what/where/when/why/how of a situation or an incident. Not slide into the lazy way of getting their news from social media.
It's too simple for them to just "hollow out" their "news" departments. I don't think they are "giving up" - personally, I think this being an election year, they will fully employ techs and engage AI to write their "stories" and narratives. They don't need "reporters" or "opinion editors" anymore - they can still claim the Media title and engage 100% in fake news: AI and all the newest developments of vocal and video manipulations. And they have ALWAYS believed the public are stupid enough to believe "everything they see in a video that looks 99% realistic" They learned that with their social media engagements and manipulations, already. Nope, don't get your hopes up...."media" is doing a landslide shift into AI, ESPECIALLY in an election year! (smh in disgust)
A very intelligent and thorough article. The Elitist Cabal couldn't have done what they have without the propaganda arm that the MSM has become. They are nothing but actors parroting the "Company" line.
I was thinking about this the other day. I can understand the MSMs complaints about using their broadcasts, their news collection, etc. There’s a reasonable argument to be made that “CNN collected and compiled that report, CNN conducted that interview, it shouldn’t be used by the general public like that, etc.” But at the same time, the news organizations have always presented themselves as providing an objective public service in collecting and distributing the news. They can’t have it both ways. Yes, there are now thousands of indy news and commentary outlets that might cover the same CNN report. But that’s just something they’re going g to have to deal with. Improve your reporting, make it a true objective Gold Standard, and CNN wont have anything to worry about. But they won’t do that, because they’ve been trying to sell narratives for decades. It’s over for them.
Like many in the 'citizen journalism' community (former regular on two daily newscasts on Patriots' Soapbox, current regular on Last Scout Radio), I've had my share of CIC run-ins: 'permanently suspended' from @jack's Twitter plus shadowbanned; content removed by Youtube; sent to Facebook 'jail' several times, etc.).
I was never at the 'blue checkmark' level of the 'digital warriors' who regularly provide reporting of this caliber.
I post your work daily on Truth Social and X, trying to do my part to get the 'news' out to as many as possible.

I went to journalism school in the 1980’s where we learned the importance of truth in journalism. We were beat over the head daily with the importance of keeping ourselves out of the story, of having good sources, of letting “the reader decide.”
In 1997 I was working in the small newsroom of a station that covered regional news outside of Boston. I was on the air for afternoon drive time. It was at this job I saw the news begin to change and not just in our newsroom but every newsroom everywhere. The change was remarkable and confusing because it went against everything we knew. The news coming over the wire had a decidedly liberal bent and as we were considered a more conservative talk news station, we’d literally rewrite the news to be more centered. My news director and I spent those years in deep conversations about what was happening. We both knew this was the beginning of something sinister. There was no mistaking it.
That was the beginning of my awakening. I went down many rabbit holes soon after that and never looked back. I left journalism soon after, just in time for 911.
Real news has been DOA since the mid to late 90’s. It was a very unique and illuminating experience to be there.
And at the very top of the human chain of command are the Ruling Families - the majority of which, lol, are Italian, some of whom can trace their ancestry all the way back not just to the Middle Ages but to Rome. Greaseballs! I have an ancestor that actually used to be a musician in one of their villas! Ah, the good ol’ days of abondanza!
Very interesting. I hate to keep returning to this same thing I have been screeching about for years now, people are just now starting to understand how dangerous it was when Obama and the Uniparty Revised The Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 in 2012.
Social Media was created so the C_A could spy on the people. When they know what people are talking about within their social groups, they can then prepare propaganda to direct how groups of people can then be manipulated into thinking and acting in the NWO/DS desired way. For example if a Low income area had a police related shooting and they what to create more distrust toward Law enforcement they will propagandize the news report to make it appear the black man shot was innocent to manipulate the people into rioting exactly like they started doing back starting during the George Floyd incident and the Summer of Love in Portland, OR.
Now they see that this is backfiring on them because they expected the people to use their new hand held computers to play games and socialize, they never expected us to use it for research and instantly blowing up their talking point narrative so they took all the guard rails off the Smith-Mundt Act so our Government and Media can program the people openly and now legally with Propaganda and Opinion, now by labeling our corrections to their story's as being Mal, Dis, and Misinformation they are effectively shutting down the truth from reaching the people by casting doubt onto our corrections.
To be clear, I was not 'tooting my own horn' (maybe a little - veteran of the Q wars; been at this since the first posts...), just pointing out that what I got is the BB gun.
What is coming for you these days is both barrels.

We have a WEF mafia cartel in charge of Canada who are now so openly corrupt they don't care to hide it any longer.

Well met. And the lies of omission piss me off more than the bullshit they spew. Because they keep the majority, the normies ignorant.
Excellent piece. Spot on, every point.

GREAT piece! I thoroughly enjoy every piece coming out of Badlands Media!!!

Thanks, Ryan. Your words can't be spread enough far and wide. Citizen journalism helping to usher in the parallel economy. Go Galt!
Badlands is the best.
