I can remember the days when there were those who expressed concern over not only the corporate ownership of the media but the CONCENTRATION of corporate ownership. Today we we are seeing the full night mare.

Where I used to avidly follow Canadian politics, it now makes my skin crawl and I have turned to the international and independent media where there are very capable world class journalists, analysts and academics willing to speak truth to power.

Fortunately the total collapse of the Western MSM has spawned a whole wave of independents globally, sinking the MSM into irrelevance.

Americans can feel fortunate you still have an independent progressive media-- I do a lot of cross border shopping. In Canada we are a propaganda ghetto where the government subsidizes the MSM prestitutes know exactly where and when to shave their content.

We have a few outlets that claim to be progressive and speaking truth to power; but they do creme puff journalism.

We have one outstanding lone wolf journalist who has been called "Canada's Noam Chomsky". Yves Engler is his name and his blog is at: https://yvesengler.com/2023/06/01/ukraine-supporters-attack-free-speech-in-name-of-democracy/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ukraine-supporters-attack-free-speech-in-name-of-democracy
