I like how there's such a long article that basically says nothing of any real substance. So what they did is probably illegal, but they still won't tell the public what they did to them.
Yeah, that's a good point. And you would think re a story of this magnitude there'd be more.
I think they put it up for two reasons:
1. As a CYA sort of measure. If there's blowback the Citizen can say they brought it to the public's attention. So if something DOES blow up about this, they can say that they printed a story. But also there's the main driver of the MSM today...
2. Clicks. Despite it being memory holed in Canadain MSM, a headline as sensational as this one was would definitely get those.
The question I have (which makes this warrant a second read) is ... is there actually a story there? As I write this, the only stuff I can recall from the article is that the Canadian military did online stuff that the big assed muckey-mucks thought was a bad idea. So maybe that's not much of a story.
I. Don't. Know.
Perhaps that's a good lesson?
I mean, I'm not running around yelling that the military is attempting mind control. I can see it as a poorly thought PR exercise just as easily.
Which one is it?
IDK.
And maybe me simply being willing to say that and move on is a healthy thing.
I really don't know.
And I'm comfortable w/ that ignorance for now. I only have so much bandwidth, y'know? There's lots of other stuff for me to be more concerned with.
