Canadian Politics Today

I don't think trying to sweep it under the rug would have served anybody well.

 I don't want to suppress discussion of it, though, as I said umpteen (and one) times.

I'm not sure Alex Jones qualifies for any discussion of media.  While the actual media didn't ignore Yaniv, they were very selective in what they did report, and as I've said before I think this paints an inaccurate picture of Yaniv's so-called activism.

It's one news outlet reporting on the ongoing shenanigans of a notorious individual.  It doesn't really build a case that media coverage of trans issues in general is of particularly good quality.


Here are two articles covering events yesterday in Vancouver.  One pretty balanced, one pretty awful.  I offer the CTV article as an example of the kind of slanted, biased coverage that has been pretty typical of coverage of trans issues.  Compare and contrast the two:

https://bc.ctvnews.ca/mobile/j-k-rowling-billboard-condemned-as-transphobic-and-removed-as-advocates-speak-out-1.5102493

 

Ah, ok.  Well all I can say to those posts is "it's difficult".  You described one of them as 'balanced' so that means the MSM is, at least, redeemable.
