Juno News - Here’s how the legacy media is misleading you

00:00:00.000 So we've been talking about Danielle Smith and her new policy to protect children from

00:00:14.760 making terrible, irreversible changes to their bodies. And I wanted to show you this one news

00:00:20.060 story. I could have chosen any news story in the country. I know that there's been radio segments

00:00:24.620 and news segments like this. So I'm not just trying to pick on these individuals at CTV News

00:00:29.380 in Ottawa. Again, I've been hearing from people across the country talking about how this issue

00:00:33.860 has been covered in their community and on radio and news. And again, I could have picked

00:00:38.340 anyone, but I want to show you this clip. I want to break it down to show you the genesis

00:00:41.920 of a fake news story, how the media is working in overdrive to try to paint conservatives as

00:00:48.920 bigots, to pretend that the whole idea of transing kids and getting kids to have surgeries and

00:00:55.180 take hormones and drugs to change their biological sex. That idea is mainstream. Working overdrive

00:01:01.960 to try to defend the same position that Justin Trudeau is trying to defend and trying to say

00:01:07.080 that conservatives are bigots for trying to protect kids. So let's play this clip. It's

00:01:11.880 from CTV Ottawa. And I will show you exactly how propaganda is made from start to finish.

00:01:18.660 News of protest is happening in the Capitol this hour over trans rights.

00:01:22.460 It comes as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is in Ottawa opening a new provincial office

00:01:26.500 with her government's new position on trans policy.

00:01:28.980 OK, so just right off the top here, the way that they position this, first of all, they

00:01:32.600 have this big flag in the background with like a beautiful sunset behind it. This is a trans 1.00

00:01:37.280 flag. And so they're trying to make it seem like somehow this is like a uniting idea that

00:01:42.660 we all believe in this flag and that this is our flag together. So just even the imagery

00:01:47.460 is all wrong and the way that they frame it, they're calling it a trans rights protest.

00:01:52.900 So that implies that the rights of trans people are somehow being taken away or somehow being

00:02:01.020 harmed or trampled on by the premier of Alberta. Of course, that's not true. The whole policy

00:02:07.620 is there to protect children, protect little kids, minors from making decisions about their

00:02:13.100 bodies that they may regret, that they're not mature enough to make. And again, just just

00:02:18.540 the entire way that this is framed is completely wrong. OK, let's keep playing.

00:02:22.580 The front and centre CTV's Leah LaRock covering the rally for us tonight and joins us live Leah.

00:02:28.780 Well, Graham, this protest has been going on for about an hour and a half now showing no signs

00:02:34.700 of stopping. It's a very large protest. If you take a look behind me, that's the Sir John A.

00:02:39.020 McDonald building and protesters have completely created a wall along the sidewalk here, wrapping

00:02:44.460 all the way to O'Connor and to the back. They are here because they want to. OK, just pause it

00:02:49.340 right there for a second. So she's again, the way that they're describing these protesters is very

00:02:55.740 sympathetic, right? They're calling them ralliers or calling them protesters. They're trying to

00:03:00.860 exaggerate how big this rally is from from best I could tell. I mean, that that crowd is like it's

00:03:05.180 like half a block across. So we're talking about maybe 100, 200 people. It looks like they're two

00:03:10.060 or three deep. So I mean, we can see with our eyes that it's not like a huge it's nothing compared

00:03:16.460 to the Freedom Rally. It's not nothing compared to those protests that, again, remember everyone

00:03:23.020 there was maligned as being extremists and racist. Those people were also trying to protest. They were

00:03:29.740 actually protesting for the rights that were being trampled on. Media painted that completely the reverse

00:03:34.940 and opposite. But even just the way that this reporter, this poor reporter is trying to describe

00:03:39.420 the scene behind her is not accurate from what I can see with my own two eyes. OK, let's keep playing.

00:03:44.060 Social policies by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and those include requiring parental consent for

00:03:50.540 changing pronouns for kids under 15 in school and restricting care that some trans youth can get.

00:03:55.740 So we spoke to Ottawa. OK, just pause it right there. Pause it right there. So she just kind of glazes over

00:04:02.140 what the actual care is. So she's reading from a piece of paper here because she hasn't memorized it.

00:04:07.020 But the idea that is that she's not even telling you what the policy changes are. So she says that

00:04:12.380 parents have to be informed if kids want to start going by a different pronoun, different name at

00:04:15.500 school. And there's some limits to access for care that kids may need. No, no. This is saying that if

00:04:21.900 you're if you're under the age of 18, if you're 17 or younger, you can't get surgery to remove your

00:04:28.140 genitalia. You can't get life altering, irreversible changes to your body. Like if you actually get

00:04:36.140 the left, the liberals, reporters to explain the policy, it's much, much less sympathetic. So you

00:04:42.460 can tell that they remain super vague just saying, well, it's just about access to health care. This is

00:04:47.180 just about being able to access the care that they may need without going into the gory details,

00:04:53.660 because they know that if they do tell you what it is that Danielle Smith is restricting, you'll

00:04:57.980 change. You won't be on their side anymore. You won't you won't see this crowd as sympathetic. You

00:05:02.380 won't agree with this reporter. You will you will be on the side of Danielle Smith, which is why they

00:05:07.100 keep it intentionally vague. Okay, let's roll the clip. Alberta could happen here. And I do have a

00:05:14.140 daughter that is affected by this. And if this were to happen in Ontario, it would completely

00:05:20.140 upward our lives, we would have to move. I'm, I'm very afraid of what it would do to her. And as a

00:05:28.940 parent, I can't help but think of all the youth and all the families. Okay, let's pause it. Let's

00:05:34.540 pause it there at the mom who says that if these policies come to Ontario, we would have to flee.

00:05:39.900 Okay, so this is a situation of a mother who agrees with this ideology. Obviously, she's out there

00:05:44.460 protesting on a cold day in Ottawa. And she's saying that her child is already undergoing

00:05:49.740 these types of procedures, which is which is pretty extreme. The fact that the mom is there saying,

00:05:55.100 I agree that my child, my child should be subject to these medical interventions. So again, not not

00:06:01.900 not like a normal mainstream opinion of a parent there. And and again, you can see here how it is

00:06:09.260 the activists that are the ones that are really creating the fear that are that are that are the

00:06:14.540 ones that are really hyped up about this. They're the ones that are pushing fear and division,

00:06:18.700 because she's now presumably telling her child that somehow she's in danger and that they would have

00:06:24.140 to flee, like they'd have to like become refugees and flee the country. If Doug, Doug Ford in Ontario

00:06:31.500 were to do what Danielle Smith is doing. So it's not Danielle Smith that is promoting fear and scaring

00:06:37.980 these trans kids, it's actually the trans activists that are blowing it all out of proportion and 0.94

00:06:42.780 pretending that it's much, much bigger deal. So not exactly a regular mainstream interpretation

00:06:49.660 of the policy, not a healthy way to look at it. Okay, let's see the next trans activist here. 0.54

00:06:54.540 Interfering in the rights and freedoms of trans kids and their families. And now she's come to

00:06:58.220 Ottawa to spread her hate and we're going to stand up and speak up against it.

00:07:04.300 Now, the protest has remained relatively peaceful, but there were some counter protests that were here

00:07:09.340 supporting Smith. But there was some confrontations at times getting heated, but there is a very heavy

00:07:15.980 police presence here along Wellington. Okay, just pause it right there for a second. She says that the

00:07:21.740 protest has remained relatively peaceful. However, there were some counter protesters. So she's implying there

00:07:30.220 that by virtue of disagreeing with these crazy lunatic trans people, that that is violent? 0.99

00:07:36.620 Because she didn't actually note any instance of physical violence, which just said, these are 0.99

00:07:43.500 mostly peaceful. However, there are some counter protesters here. So those would be presumably

00:07:49.820 people in favour of Danielle Smith's policy, in favour of protecting children, in favour of parental

00:07:55.340 rights. And so, I mean, just again, the way that she's framing that, like just their presence there

00:08:00.940 makes it not quite peaceful, because it's only peaceful if you're in favour of pushing this crazy

00:08:06.620 left wing ideology onto children. And if you oppose it and just want to have a little bit of common

00:08:11.180 sense, then that makes you what not peaceful. Again, just just imagine, you know, every little

00:08:18.220 message that this journalist is trying to push is propaganda. This is all propaganda. It's all wrong.

00:08:22.860 Okay, let's keep keep playing. An idea of what is happening right now. So this is the Sir John A.

00:08:28.060 Macdonald building that's right behind me. And police have really created two barricades on both sides.

00:08:33.580 On that side, there's the counter protest. And then we have the protesters on here,

00:08:37.580 and they are rallying back and forth. And again, you can just have a sense of what the police presence

00:08:43.180 is like as they're trying to allow people to enter into the Sir John A. Macdonald building to the rally,

00:08:48.300 continuing today, advocating for trans rights, and really no idea of how much longer this will

00:08:55.660 continue. Back to you, Patricia. All right, CTV's Leah LaRock live for us on Wellington tonight. Thank you,

00:09:00.540 Leah. Okay, so again, they're just advocating for trans rights. They're just advocating for trans

00:09:05.740 rights. They're not trying to push anything dangerous. They're the correct side. And Daniel

00:09:10.220 Smith, of course, is wrong. And the counter protesters are the ones that are somehow violent. You can just

00:09:15.980 tell everything about that is not true. Every single thing about that news clip is not true.

00:09:21.340 It is propaganda. There's a great clip earlier from Pierre Polyev, who basically said the media is

00:09:27.180 pushing pure propaganda on this issue. What they're saying is not true. And every little minute detail

00:09:34.300 about that news report is wrong. Frankly, that's why people don't trust the media anymore. That's why

00:09:39.180 Canadians have lost so much trust. Because I think even a sort of mainstream boomer sitting at home

00:09:45.180 watching that news report might just kind of have a few questions that that raises, like they might

00:09:50.380 be like a little bit confused as to what this policy might be. And as soon as you read one thing about

00:09:55.740 the policies, as soon as you read the details about it, as soon as you hear what it is that the trans

00:10:01.660 community is promoting, once you hear about what it is that kids who are trans or believe they're trans

00:10:06.940 are going through the kinds of medical interventions, like hormone therapies to artificially block

00:10:12.380 puberty and change their bodies forever. And then the next step, having surgeries to remove 0.76

00:10:18.380 their male genitalia or remove their female genitalia and have it reverse somehow. We're talking 0.76

00:10:24.220 about sex changes for little kids. As soon as you say what it is, then you've lost the audience.

00:10:31.260 You've lost Canadians. Not only do they disagree with you on this issue, but they can see how what 1.00

00:10:36.780 you're presenting to them is fake and it's propaganda. And again, this is why Canadians don't trust the media.
