Juno News - The CBC is a joke and Canadians are laughing at them

00:00:00.000 The CBC blows an election call in Quebec, they steal news from a competitor without giving any

00:00:05.920 credit, and they push a divisive, deranged, woke left screed, blaming climate change on, 0.74

00:00:12.840 you guessed it, racism and white supremacy. It's Fake News Friday,

00:00:16.720 I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:24.140 Everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. Happy Friday. It is Fake News Friday,

00:00:28.320 our favorite show around here at The Candice Malcolm Show. Every week on Friday,

00:00:32.480 we gather together the worst examples of media malfeasance here in Canada. There are always so

00:00:37.560 many to choose from, especially with the CBC. The CBC just serves us up an array of completely

00:00:43.500 outrageous news stories week after week, day after day, and so we get to parse through it,

00:00:48.780 pick out the worst examples or the best examples from our perspective of just media being completely

00:00:56.300 ideological, completely biased, completely unethical and unprofessional in the way that

00:01:01.680 they deliver you the news, all while taking your money, all while claiming that they have the

00:01:06.700 authority on truth and objectivity, and demanding that you pay with your hard-earned money, your tax

00:01:12.480 dollars, to pay their salary and to pay for the absolute nonsense that they push. It's sort of

00:01:18.580 funny when you take a step back. It's amusing and comical. We have to laugh at it. Otherwise,

00:01:23.460 we would cry because it is just such a sad state here in Canada. So we've got some good examples

00:01:29.660 for you today. But first, if you're watching this show on YouTube, I'm going to ask that you

00:02:18.400 don't forget to leave us a five-star review. Okay, back to Fake News Friday. The CBC just teased

00:02:24.920 this up right for us. So this comes to us over from our friends at Black Locks Reporter. It says

00:02:30.560 the CBC is sorry for bad reporting. They're sorry for bad reporting. So let's take a look at this

00:02:36.280 story. It is wild. So the CBC apologized after bungling a hasty Quebec City election call that sent

00:02:43.300 the wrong candidate rushing to the podium to mistakenly deliver a TV victory speech. Can you

00:02:48.760 believe it? The Crown broadcaster earlier praised itself as a beacon of truth with high newsroom

00:02:55.360 standards. Not so much in real life. We are sorry. CBC management wrote in a statement, there was no

00:03:00.120 explanation as to why producers rushed to air with an election announcement that was incorrect.

00:03:05.400 So polls closed in the Quebec City municipal election at 8pm. And just moments later, so at

00:03:11.100 8.28, just 28 minutes after polls closed, the CBC announced that Mary Jose Savard had been elected

00:03:17.340 mayor. They rushed to get that announcement out. And because of that, because I guess everybody in

00:03:22.520 Quebec City was watching the CBC, as soon as the CBC declared it news, it must be so, it must be the

00:03:28.100 truth, right? That's what they tell us. And so it caused the candidate herself, Mary Jose Savard,

00:03:33.160 to go and deliver a victory speech to her campaign, to her supporters who were there with her. So

00:03:40.320 pretty embarrassing stuff over at the CBC. So Savard then appeared at her campaign headquarters

00:03:45.840 and delivered her victory speech, again, based on the CBC call. A big thank you to the citizens of

00:03:51.620 Quebec for trusting us, Savard said. Savard is a former councillor in Quebec City. However, the night

00:03:57.520 was not over. The night was still very, very young. Remember, it was just 28 minutes after the polls

00:04:01.720 closed that the CBC had made this decision. But by 11 p.m., Savard's opponent had taken the lead,

00:04:08.220 prompting the local media to quip that Savard was the shortest-serving mayor. She was only mayor for 0.94

00:04:12.940 two hours because all of a sudden it turned out that she hadn't won the election. She had lost.

00:04:18.020 It was a surprising turn of events, the CBC said in a statement. Our decision-making desk rigorously

00:04:24.380 followed the usual process before declaring Mary Jose Savard the winner, wrote the CBC management,

00:04:30.400 we will seek answers to all our questions to explain what may have happened. So Savard's opponent,

00:04:37.960 Bruno Marchand, a community organizer, was declared elected yesterday by 834 votes. Marchand won

00:04:44.920 59,580 votes to Savard's 58,746. We understand this is an unfortunate situation for Ms. Savard and her

00:04:53.600 campaign, wrote the CBC executive. So a spectacular blunder over at the CBC, embarrassingly making the

00:05:01.100 wrong call and causing the candidate herself to believe that she had won mayor. What a joke,

00:05:06.720 what a disgrace over there at the CBC. So Catherine Tate, the CEO over at the state broadcaster, 1.00

00:05:13.220 in her last appearance at the Commons Heritage Committee, described the CBC as a truth beacon

00:05:19.440 worthy of $1.3 billion in annual subsidies. She was basically just making the case that CBC

00:05:25.980 is the arbiter of truth, that they are the beacon, apparently, of trustworthiness, and yet they can't

00:05:31.560 even get a basic election call. Look, I've worked a lot of elections. I've covered a lot of elections.

00:05:36.980 You basically, you know, you can sort of look at numbers and say, okay, it looks like this candidate

00:05:40.840 might win, but you don't call an election until you're sure. And the fact that they just kind of

00:05:44.880 jumped over their skis here, decided to call the election that early, just just shows what an

00:05:50.460 absolute joke they are in terms of their ability to deliver the news. We may make mistakes, said

00:05:56.620 Catherine Tate. Everybody makes mistakes. But the journalistic standards and practices state very

00:06:01.140 clearly, we measure, we research, we're transparent. We're transparent. No, they're not transparent.

00:06:07.380 The CBC is a left wing advocacy organization, a far left pro liberal pro big L liberal advocacy

00:06:13.880 organization that pretends to be a news organization. They put social justice first,

00:06:18.540 they put Justin Trudeau and the liberals first, and they put Canadians last. And yet here they are

00:06:22.980 pretending that they are, again, the beacon of journalistic standards. No, CBC, you are terrible. 0.82

00:06:28.340 You're a joke and everybody is laughing at you. Okay, moving on. This is probably my favorite op-ed of 0.99

00:06:33.500 the week. And by favorite, I mean the absolute most terrible thing I had to read all week. So here it is

00:06:38.520 from the CBC's opinion pages. Again, why does the CBC do opinion? That they're supposed to be

00:06:43.580 the news broadcaster when all of a sudden they mix in their own opinions. And of course their opinions

00:06:47.840 are always far left, woke, total nonsense, very divisive, obsessed with race. When they mix that 0.95

00:06:54.180 in with their own news coverage, it waters down the whole brand, makes people shake their heads. And

00:06:58.640 this coming from the state broadcaster is just such a slap in the face to taxpayers. Let me just put it

00:07:03.180 that way. Okay, so here's the headline. When it comes to climate change, the heavy hand of colonizers

00:07:09.260 is as important as our carbon footprint. Solutions that do not disrupt our legal,

00:07:15.000 social, and economic structures will not help us, says this author named Stephanie Arnold,

00:07:20.100 who we learn later is a woke far left researcher at a university. And of course, this is part of the

00:07:26.440 CBC's new journalism. Here we have this little disclaimer at the top. It says, our planet is changing.

00:07:31.440 So is our journalism. This story is part of a CBC news initiative entitled,

00:07:35.580 Our Changing Planet, to show and explain the effect of climate change and what is being done

00:07:40.820 about it. We talked about this a couple of weeks ago on the show, how the CBC has completely

00:07:44.840 reoriented itself to being a climate change, alarmism, fanaticism, news site. And it's right

00:07:51.040 there. It's written right into their policy that their job in journalism isn't just to report the

00:07:55.900 news, but it's to push these wild, wild stories about climate alarmism and sort of promote fear and

00:08:02.980 anxiety when it comes to our planet. And they're completely transparent about that. So this is part

00:08:07.940 of that series. Here we see a picture at the top here. It says 1.5 to stay alive. And then there's a

00:08:13.640 little caption here. It says, high school students advocate for the lower of the two UN climate targets,

00:08:18.400 1.5 degrees Celsius during a climate protest in Montreal in 2019. Some environmental experts say

00:08:24.220 keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would lead to less extreme heat, rainfall, and drought

00:08:29.580 than the original target of 2 degrees Celsius. And so here we see all of these very trendy,

00:08:34.700 woke, young Montrealers out there advocating, marching in the streets, demanding for some

00:08:40.760 theoretical target 100 years from now that will never actually come to fruition. But regardless,

00:08:48.020 makes them feel important and passionate. And so this is how they occupy their time. But back to this

00:08:53.700 op-ed, so basically the author is saying that climate change, instead of looking at the sort of

00:09:00.320 idea that carbon is causing climate change, let's look deeper. And when we look deeper, we'll realize

00:09:04.620 that climate change is actually just about racism. So here she says, racism causes climate change. She

00:09:10.180 says, so at the core of it is the understanding that the climate crisis is a colonial white supremacist

00:09:17.220 construct. Legal scholar, Carmen G. Gonzalez pointed out that the European colonizers use oppressive

00:09:24.180 practices to transform the substance economics of the global South into economic satellites of Europe.

00:09:31.020 The process warmed the planet while creating wealth for colonial powers, the domination and

00:09:35.400 exploitation of BIPOC, which stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color peoples, lands, and

00:09:42.200 ecosystems continue to this day and span across the globe, fueling the climate crisis. So there you have

00:09:49.120 it. Every single sort of left-wing woke buzzword is sort of all wrapped up into this idea that instead

00:09:55.860 of, you know, trying to reduce our carbon footprint, what we really should do is just be smashing down

00:10:00.640 the patriarchy, smashing down white supremacist systems of power, and what? Just sort of shifting blame

00:10:07.780 here. So instead of looking at the scenario of climate change saying, okay, you know, we've become so

00:10:12.500 advanced and so wealthy and so prosperous in the world that so many people are producing carbon emissions, and

00:10:19.480 that's bad for the planet. So let's all sort of like collectively try to reduce our emissions or come up with

00:10:24.000 technology to kind of band together as civilization and try to improve the outcomes of our planet. Instead of looking at it like

00:10:32.160 that, which is sort of the way that we look at it now, she's saying, no, let's instead divide the problem into

00:10:38.000 white people versus everyone else, or as they say, BIPOC people versus the colonizers, and then just sort of

00:10:46.040 shift the blame at the white people and say, the real problem here isn't climate, and it isn't carbon, it's white 0.99

00:10:52.080 supremacy, it's you evil white people, you've caused all these problems. And so she goes on this long rant 1.00

00:10:58.100 talking about how, you know, the whole idea is that before the colonizers came, before the Europeans came,

00:11:05.400 everybody was happy, they had their lifestyle, and, you know, they didn't want for much. And then these

00:11:10.840 oppressors came and colonized everything, and we have to get rid of that. So she sort of glazes over a couple

00:11:16.260 of important facts here, like with the advent of free markets and Western liberal democracy and the sort of

00:11:22.560 spread around the world, particularly in the post-Soviet world, where since 1990, we've seen

00:11:28.440 1.2 billion people being lifted out of extreme poverty. So more people have opportunities, more

00:11:34.080 people have jobs, more people live in stable, free societies, instead of sort of celebrating that and

00:11:39.400 say, wow, this is great, you know, more and more people have access to electricity and clean drinking

00:11:44.080 water and medicine and all these things that are needed to live, and more people are part of the global

00:11:49.600 economy. Instead, this author is basically saying that these people are to blame, and that we need

00:11:55.880 to decolonize. She does make one point, I will give her credit for one good point that she makes. She

00:12:01.200 talks about how, as an example, there's a sort of idea of fast fashion. So people are constantly buying

00:12:06.680 new clothes, and something's in fashion one month, and then the next month, they want to go with

00:12:11.400 something else. So clothes aren't really made to last, they're made cheaply. And because of that, it generates

00:12:15.620 a lot of waste. And she's also saying that it exploits natural human ecosystems to produce all

00:12:21.100 these clothes. And so she's saying that, you know, we should change our lifestyle so that we're not

00:12:25.160 wearing all these cheap clothes. I assume that her that her target audience in this is actually the

00:12:29.560 teenagers that we saw at the beginning, the ones that are marching in Montreal, all of those trendy,

00:12:34.520 woke environmentalists who are, you know, probably the ones that are into this fast fashion idea or

00:12:40.200 cheap fashion where they're constantly getting new clothes. So I did appreciate that comment,

00:12:44.300 because usually what we see from those environmentalists is that they're massive 0.99

00:12:48.280 hypocrites, they're huge hypocrites, they're out there saying we need to end oil. Meanwhile, 0.99

00:12:52.860 they're, you know, using their cell phones, and they're wearing Gore-Tex rain jackets that are made

00:12:56.580 of oil. And they, you know, all the things in their life that require oil, they're kind of divorced from

00:13:01.480 the idea of where these items come from. And so they are massive hypocrites. So she did sort of have a 0.99

00:13:07.240 little bit of a nod to that in there, I'll give her credit for that. But the rest of the piece is just

00:13:11.000 an absolute screed of nonsense, where she basically just, again, uses every woke keyword to blame, 0.96

00:13:19.940 you know, racism and white supremacy. Most people when they encounter a piece of news like this or 0.95

00:13:25.740 something like this on CBC, their eyes just glaze over, they kind of shake their head, it's total

00:13:30.120 nonsense. And it's not a very good way of engaging people. But again, CBC is showing their true colors,

00:13:35.640 they are perfectly happy to publish something that is completely divisive, that is pretty racist in

00:13:41.000 the underlying message and the flat out message by blaming white supremacy, saying that that's to

00:13:47.180 fault for climate change. The CBC is happy to publish the most far left wing piece of writing that

00:13:54.160 they can find. Whereas when it comes to anything, even sort of centrist or moderately conservative,

00:13:59.220 you don't see anything like that on the CBC. But again, we're supposed to believe that they are

00:14:03.460 transparent. Okay, moving on, I saw this story. The entire show today is dedicated to CBC, by the way,

00:14:09.300 the CBC is just terrible. And so we have four stories. They're all from the CBC. This one here

00:14:13.800 says the pandemic caused care delays as trans Ottowans transitioned. So CBC Ottawa asked two trans

00:14:21.900 women, so trans women are biological males who identify as women. So CBC Ottawa asked two trans women

00:14:27.840 to share their experiences of transitioning during the pandemic. Okay, so we hear right in the headline,

00:14:33.460 that the pandemic caused delays. So maybe these men were trying to get access to hormone pills,

00:14:38.780 or maybe they were getting some kind of surgery, maybe they were doing some kind of operation.

00:14:44.040 That's sort of what you assume from the story. Okay, let's read this story to find out what

00:14:48.580 the healthcare delays that were so horrific for these trans individuals happens. So here it says,

00:14:54.580 though Sophie McCarroll began her transition before the pandemic, she says majority of her journey took

00:14:59.120 place in the new normal of COVID-19. The isolation made this major change, especially hard for the

00:15:03.880 35-year-old software engineer. It was very lonely, she said, not being able to meet others in the

00:15:08.640 community or celebrate her new self. I would have loved to participate in my first pride parade,

00:15:13.300 she said. I wanted to exist in the world as who I was. That included a new, more feminine way of 0.99

00:15:19.400 speaking, a common practice for trans women who work on modulating their voices to a higher tone.

00:15:24.300 I'm just reading this article as it's coming in. So far, we haven't heard anything about care. What

00:15:28.780 we've heard is that this person hasn't been able to participate in a pride parade and hasn't been

00:15:33.820 able to practice speaking in a higher tone as a woman would. And it goes on, it says, accessing

00:15:39.620 laser hair removal for her face presented another challenge. Something she says greatly lessened her 0.97

00:15:45.360 symptoms of dysphoria when she first started the process in 2019. I got three treatments before COVID hit.

00:15:51.080 It was amazing, she said, being able to wear foundation, look in the mirror, not feel frustrated

00:15:55.240 and not be sad. Then COVID arrived and facial laser hair removals were deemed too risky because it meant

00:16:01.360 removing your mask. After they stopped, the curls hair started to grow back. And so then she said it

00:16:07.120 was more difficult. Then she argues that these treatments should not have been deemed non-essential.

00:16:11.660 She said that it was essential for her to have her hair removal. So again, the whole idea from the

00:16:17.520 headline, you assume that, that, that some kind of care, some kind of healthcare wasn't available,

00:16:21.400 but no, what we're talking about is just normal routine grooming. The same thing that everyone

00:16:25.560 else in the entire country had to go through. I didn't get my haircut for like nine months. I didn't

00:16:30.800 have a story written about me, a sob story written about me in the CDC because of it. This story is,

00:16:36.480 is just so absolutely ridiculous. It's so absurd. We're supposed to feel sorry for these individuals 0.99

00:16:41.200 because they couldn't participate in a pride parade because they couldn't go and get hair removal

00:16:45.440 services. Meanwhile, there were real victims of COVID. Almost 30,000 people in Canada have died

00:16:50.920 with COVID or because of COVID. Doctors say that mental health in children is at a crisis level.

00:16:56.540 At least 2,300 Canadians died waiting for actual surgeries, life-saving surgeries in 2020 alone.

00:17:03.380 So we're talking about tens of thousands of people in this country dying. And here the CBC comes up with

00:17:08.140 a sob story about these two trans individuals because they couldn't fully enjoy their new life.

00:17:13.480 Guess what? That's everybody. Imagine being in high school. Imagine being in university. Imagine

00:17:18.640 being at any stage in your life, planning a wedding. With me, I've got little kids and the kids can't go

00:17:23.580 out and enjoy the things that they used to be able to enjoy. Everybody in COVID has stories of

00:17:28.540 restrictions in their life, but you don't see the CBC making a big deal out of those. Again, just pushing

00:17:34.340 this sort of crazy woke ideology that we're always supposed to feel sorry for trans people, that they're

00:17:39.820 always the victims, no matter what. Instead of just being happy with their lives, happy with the

00:17:44.200 fact that they live in a world where they can transition and they can live their life. I'm sure

00:17:49.120 that there's challenges. I'm sure that they've had hardships, but still they live in a society that's

00:17:53.060 so open-minded that they are allowed to change their gender. They were allowed to all of a sudden

00:17:57.620 identify as the opposite gender. And yet they're still complaining. They're still highlighting these 1.00

00:18:01.700 sob stories. It's really, really just a sad state over at the CBC that this is a kind of ideology

00:18:06.860 that they promote. Okay. Final story I want to talk about here is this story over on the CBC

00:18:11.620 about the Saskatchewan premier, premier Scott Moe. So he was on the radio show, the Roy Green show,

00:18:17.020 and they were talking about the new climate proposals that Justin Trudeau has pushed during

00:18:22.700 COP26. And basically Scott Moe said, look, enough is enough. He said that Saskatchewan wants to be a

00:18:28.480 nation within a nation by increasing its own autonomy. Good for them, by the way, good for premier

00:18:33.140 Scott Moe for saying this. He says that he was upset because he wasn't consulted by Ottawa before

00:18:38.440 their recent caps and omission statements were announced. No one in the country was consulted.

00:18:43.880 We were all kind of blindsided by Justin Trudeau's craziness, crazy speeches that he gave over in

00:18:48.720 Scotland at COP26. My colleague Anthony Fury did a great video here at True North about how he

00:18:54.220 promoted things that were really, really outside the norm of what we normally talk about. And everyone

00:18:58.900 just kind of shrugged, even though he's out there promoting really crazy, extreme things that he

00:19:02.960 hasn't even really talked about in Canada before. Well, Scott Moe feels the same way. And he says

00:19:07.660 that he wants the province to be a nation within a nation by increasing its autonomy in several

00:19:11.740 areas, including policing, taxation, and immigration. And so the reason I'm talking about this on Fake

00:19:16.880 News Friday is that the CBC writes this entire story without giving credit to the journalist who

00:19:21.840 actually broke the story. Keep in mind that Scott Moe was doing an interview, a one-on-one interview

00:19:26.120 with radio host Roy Green on The Roy Green Show. Would it have really killed the CBC to just mention

00:19:31.120 that? The CBC, by the way, is notorious within the journalism world. I know we pick on CBC a lot,

00:19:36.800 and it's sort of expected because we're conservatives and they're this far left news network that's on the

00:19:41.440 dole that's taking all this taxpayers' money. But the reality is that a lot of journalists working at a

00:19:46.000 lot of different news stations across the country feel the same way about the CBC as I do. A lot of

00:19:50.400 people roll their eyes and just shake their head at the CBC and how ridiculous they are. One of the things 0.98

00:19:55.520 that the CBC is notorious for is stealing people's stories without giving credit. It's happened to me before,

00:19:59.820 it's happened to so many journalists out there where you have a scoop, you have a story, and then all

00:20:04.540 of a sudden the CBC is reporting it without giving you credit and sometimes even calling their own

00:20:08.860 scoop an exclusive, which is just completely irresponsible, completely unethical. So again,

00:20:14.940 here we see the CBC put out this story. And so my colleague over the Toronto Sun,

00:20:19.500 Laurie Goldstein, tweeted out the story. He shared it with his followers on Twitter. And then Roy Green

00:20:24.780 replied saying, the CBC failed to source their story. Premier Mo said this on my program. Anyone

00:20:30.300 wanting to hear the interview may do so at the Roy Green show. So again, CBC just completely

00:20:36.300 ridiculous, not even giving credit, not even allowing Canadians who might be interested in the 0.99

00:20:41.100 context and understanding what the conversation was about and how Scott Mo said it. Instead, CBC just 0.97

00:20:46.620 kind of like takes his whole statement out of context, puts their own spin on it, and doesn't even

00:20:50.860 provide the source for Canadians to get more information, doesn't provide the hat tip to the

00:20:55.660 journalist who broke the story, the one who was hosting the interview. Totally typical, totally

00:21:00.300 typical bad behavior by the CBC. And so here, Laurie points this out. He says, my friend Roy Green

00:21:06.860 notes that this was on his show. The sketch when Premier Scott Mo made his nation within a nation

00:21:12.220 comment. The CBC did not credit his show as the source. The CBC has a reputation for doing this.

00:21:18.300 It's Bush League. I couldn't have said it any better myself. Laurie Goldstein is completely right. 0.99

00:21:23.180 The CBC has a reputation for doing this and it is Bush League. Thank you so much for tuning in. 1.00

00:21:28.140 I hope you have a wonderful weekend. This has been Fake News Friday.

00:21:30.300 I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
