Juno News - The legacy media got it wrong again!

00:00:00.000 Last week, we witnessed the stupidest scandal in Canadian history. 0.99

00:00:04.840 The legacy media invented a fake news narrative about Pierre Polyev, 0.99

00:00:08.260 which he easily, correctly, and firmly debunked.

00:00:12.260 Now in response, the legacy media lost their minds. 0.78

00:00:15.360 They called Polyev a liar and a bully and predicted that he was about to plummet in the polls.

00:00:20.500 Well, the latest polls are in, and surprise, surprise, the legacy media got it wrong again.

00:00:25.560 It's Fake News Friday. I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.

00:00:30.000 So, last week on Fake News Friday, I broke down what I believe to be one of the stupidest, 1.00

00:00:59.840 if not the stupidest media scandals in Canadian history. 0.99

00:01:03.400 So, according to the legacy media, basically every single journalist in the legacy media, 0.98

00:01:08.460 they all decided that opposition leader Pierre Polyev had done something egregious.

00:01:12.900 So, what did he do? Did he waste a billion dollars on some green scheme?

00:01:16.720 No, that was Justin Trudeau.

00:01:18.420 Did he give away multi-million dollar contracts to his friends,

00:01:21.120 who were also paying his family members to give speeches?

00:01:23.960 No, that was Trudeau as well.

00:01:25.640 Did he pressure his attorney general to quit because she refused to give a sweetheart deal

00:01:29.040 to a large party donor?

00:01:30.920 Did he go on vacation to a billionaire's private island and then turn around and give government

00:01:34.520 handouts to that billionaire's organization?

00:01:36.900 Or did he parade around in racist blackface for much of his 20s and early 30s?

00:01:41.080 Okay, you're on to me.

00:01:41.820 Those were all obviously Justin Trudeau.

00:01:43.640 No, no, according to the legacy media, Polyev's far worse crimes were, and this is accurate, 1.00

00:01:50.580 quoting a CTV story in the House of Commons, pointing that out to a CP reporter who was

00:01:55.640 interrogating him with gotcha questions, and then defending himself against an attempted

00:01:59.960 smear campaign by the media, and finally refusing to bend the knee and apologize to them.

00:02:04.820 Yes, that is the scandal that the legacy media reporters are obsessing over, that they rush

00:02:09.620 to comment on, rush to condemn, and they use that to predict that Polyev was probably going

00:02:14.960 to lose the next election.

00:02:16.540 First of all, this is what the exchange looked like between Polyev and the CP reporter.

00:02:20.920 I'll just show you part of it.

00:02:22.200 Actually, you're wrong.

00:02:23.140 Are you with CP?

00:02:24.540 Okay, so CP, by the way, CP, just for everyone's knowledge, did have to make three corrections

00:02:29.860 for falsehoods that they put into a single article.

00:02:33.140 I think that might be unprecedented.

00:02:34.180 I'm actually thinking about checking with the Guinness Book of World Records to see

00:02:39.140 if there's ever been a news agency that has had to issue three corrections for patent falsehoods

00:02:45.420 that they admit they had been made in one single article, and now you've made yet another falsehood

00:02:50.160 in your question.

00:02:52.220 Where you are wrong is that CTV reported that the government of Canada was presuming that

00:02:58.060 the incident was terrorist.

00:03:00.140 So, yeah, and that's what I said in my remarks.

00:03:02.440 Yes, you're right.

00:03:04.140 It was a media report.

00:03:05.460 But if I had a media report, then not.

00:03:07.940 Which is what I said.

00:03:08.960 In the House, I said there are media reports.

00:03:11.220 Okay, and this is just a handful of the legacy media journalists responding to that interaction.

00:03:16.940 Bruce Arthur from the Toronto Star wrote,

00:03:19.320 just another grotesque day for the Conservative Party, adding that it was a truly scummy moment

00:03:24.800 for Pierre Polyev.

00:03:26.280 Next, Andrew Coyne of the Globe and Mail saying,

00:03:28.420 I don't know who he thinks he's impressing with this campus Tory childishness.

00:03:32.940 Tabitha Thuthi from McLean's in the Globe and Mail wrote,

00:03:35.440 this entire incident ought to disqualify the man as prime minister.

00:03:39.240 John Iverson from the National Post wrote,

00:03:41.040 he could lose this whole thing yet if he keeps behaving this way.

00:03:44.640 Next, on one of our favorite programs to include in Fake News Friday,

00:03:48.780 here's a clip from CBC's Power in Politics featuring the Toronto Star's Chantelle Ibert,

00:03:54.740 just telling us what she really thinks about Pierre Polyev.

00:03:57.440 It will be very hard to sell a leader who is turning out to be an intellectual bully,

00:04:04.400 especially one who picks on people who are smaller than him,

00:04:10.300 in the sense that the journalist asking a question is smaller than someone who is the leader of a major party.

00:04:17.200 And I don't know what is being said outside Quebec in the other language,

00:04:24.660 but I was on a panel today and the words I used associated with Pierre Polyev,

00:04:31.280 and they are gaining currency, is that he is someone who will lie whenever it suits his purpose.

00:04:37.840 Next, we have the media's favorite TikTok journalist, Rachel Gilmore, saying,

00:04:43.600 how do you push back on the spot when Polyev outright lies to your face?

00:04:48.540 Okay, so those are just a few of my favorite examples of media losing their minds.

00:04:52.060 It got worse.

00:04:52.640 It started to get a little bit nasty over the weekend.

00:04:55.300 Andrew Coyne, again of Globe and Mail,

00:04:56.840 posted this picture on social media with the caption,

00:05:00.900 amazing, amazing.

00:05:02.320 This is from the Globe and Mail.

00:05:04.160 They put a very, very rude and unflattering picture of a previous leader of the Conservative Party,

00:05:09.300 Andrew Scheer, saying,

00:05:11.100 wanted a bit of common sense.

00:05:13.140 So, of course, the legacy media wants Andrew Scheer back.

00:05:15.780 The whole defining feature of Andrew Scheer was that he let the legacy media define him.

00:05:21.300 He let them derail them.

00:05:22.460 He lost an election just barely.

00:05:24.020 He actually won the popular vote, but lost the 2019 election in large part because the legacy media went after him ruthlessly.

00:05:32.180 They decided that he was some sort of a bigot because he refused to change what Catholics believe about sin and marriage

00:05:38.760 and basically wrote him off as a bigot.

00:05:41.740 So, the legacy media yearns for the day when they could just simply define a Conservative leader

00:05:47.640 and a Conservative leader doesn't wish to push back, being a little obvious, saying the quiet part out loud.

00:05:53.040 And Andrew Coyne thinks this is all amazing.

00:05:55.740 Next, we had Althea Raj on X. 0.95

00:05:57.980 So, first, Jenny Byrne, who's a Conservative operative, wrote the pretty obvious statement.

00:06:02.560 She writes this,

00:06:03.120 Any wonder why the press gallery has been in full attack mode against Pierre since Trudeau's fall update?

00:06:07.680 He's giving them another $30,000 per journalist in tax-funded media bailouts.

00:06:12.740 Expect them to do whatever the PMO says.

00:06:15.540 So, this is accurate.

00:06:16.700 This is true.

00:06:17.540 The Trudeau government gave media another bailout, gave them another $116 million,

00:06:22.320 said that they would pay the newsrooms up to $30,000 per journalist.

00:06:26.580 And in response to the exact same week, we see the media attacking Pierre Polyev.

00:06:31.440 Instead of going after Trudeau for as many scandals,

00:06:33.660 instead of pointing out the fact that Canadians are losing faith in the Prime Minister,

00:06:36.320 they all turned their sights on Pierre Polyev.

00:06:39.140 A little bit of a coincidence, not a good look for these journalists,

00:06:41.880 no matter how much they swear up and down that they are completely unreliant and unbiased on the Trudeau government.

00:06:47.620 It's a pretty big coincidence that that's all happening at the same time.

00:06:50.200 So, back to Althea Raj, who writes for the Toronto Star and is also a commentator,

00:06:55.120 a paid commentator on the CBC.

00:06:57.240 She writes this,

00:06:57.980 This is complete BS, and Jenny knows it.

00:07:00.820 They are looking for something to blame for a bad week.

00:07:03.780 So, this sort of sounds like a partisan talking point, doesn't it?

00:07:07.480 The Conservatives are having a bad week,

00:07:09.160 and so they're just trying to look for something to blame.

00:07:10.640 That is literally exactly what liberals say all the time.

00:07:13.440 It's how they spin.

00:07:14.220 Althea goes on.

00:07:15.460 She says,

00:07:15.900 The government is providing a labor tax credit to employers.

00:07:20.160 It's indirect, and it applies broadly.

00:07:22.900 One of the organizations who has lobbied the most for this is the National Post and Postmedia.

00:07:26.820 So, again, just jumping further into liberal spin mode.

00:07:30.440 Liberal spin, no, no, no, it's not a bailout.

00:07:32.200 It's just a tax credit.

00:07:33.520 It goes to the employers.

00:07:35.200 It's a labor tax credit, and it's broad.

00:07:37.600 It doesn't just apply to those who support Trudeau.

00:07:39.640 It applies to everybody.

00:07:40.780 Well, everybody in the legacy media, including Postmedia, as if that's supposed to somehow let them off the hook.

00:07:46.320 Postmedia gets it.

00:07:47.080 Postmedia is sometimes quasi-centrist, right?

00:07:50.700 Sometimes kind of conservative.

00:07:52.360 Sometimes allows conservative writers like Rex Murphy, Conrad Black, or Barbara Kaye to write in the paper occasionally.

00:07:59.000 And that somehow makes it okay for taxpayer money to go to media companies.

00:08:02.740 I mean, this is just spin-wrapped and spin-wrapped and spin.

00:08:05.380 So, the legacy media, as you can see, are basically in agreement.

00:08:08.380 They say that Pierre Polyev had a significant misstep.

00:08:11.560 It was a scandal.

00:08:12.680 As Althea Raj says, the Conservatives had a very bad week.

00:08:16.200 John Ibbotson in the National Post says that Pierre Polyev could lose this thing yet. 0.98

00:08:20.440 Chantal Libert of CBC and the Toronto Star says that Canadians are seeing a different side of Polyev, that he's a liar and a bully. 0.80

00:08:27.520 And basically that this is going to make Canadians turn on Pierre Polyev. 0.85

00:08:31.800 Well, did their prediction come true?

00:08:33.880 It just so happens that there was a national poll conducted over the weekend.

00:08:37.160 So, that exchange between Pierre Polyev and the CPU Reporter happened on Thursday, November 23rd.

00:08:42.840 I did my show of Fake News Friday on it last Friday, the 24th.

00:08:45.760 And then an abacus poll was conducted on Sunday, November 26th.

00:08:50.800 And so, what does this poll say?

00:08:53.220 Well, here it is.

00:08:54.300 The party who is predicted to have the most seats in the next election is the Conservative Party.

00:08:59.780 The chances that they will win the most seats?

00:09:02.100 99% versus the Liberals, 1%.

00:09:05.000 Again, that's based on polling from November 26th.

00:09:07.820 Let's go through what that poll said by region.

00:09:10.760 Here is the committed vote intended.

00:09:13.000 Look at these numbers for the Conservatives.

00:09:14.500 40% in BC, 60% in Alberta, 51% in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, 41% in Ontario.

00:09:20.360 Still trailing in Quebec.

00:09:22.160 But look at Atlanta, Canada, 41% Conservative for only 33% Liberal and 18% NDP.

00:09:29.840 What about by age?

00:09:30.820 Well, Justin Trudeau swept with Millennial voters to get into office.

00:09:34.480 Look at it now.

00:09:35.280 18 to 29-year-olds, 30% Conservative.

00:09:37.720 That's more than either the NDP or the Liberals.

00:09:40.660 As far as 30 to 44, 39%, 45 to 59, 42%, 16 over 42%.

00:09:49.300 So Pierre Polyev dominating in every single age group.

00:09:52.760 How about by gender?

00:09:53.680 Well, the male feminist, Justin Trudeau, is now losing among women and is not close.

00:09:58.880 36% of women voting for Polyev, say that they would vote for Polyev, versus 25% for the Libs,

00:10:05.000 23% for the NDP.

00:10:06.840 And 41% of men saying that they will cast their vote for the Conservative.

00:10:12.080 This is always an interesting one to me.

00:10:13.960 One of the biggest markers of who will vote for Conservatives is people who own their own home.

00:10:19.120 And that's something that's barely ever talked about.

00:10:20.980 But the kind of people who have families, the kind of people who have that kind of responsibility,

00:10:24.860 who own a home, raising a family, those are the kind of people who tend to vote for a Conservative.

00:10:30.180 44% of homeowners are intending to vote for Polyev.

00:10:34.160 But again, people who live at home, people who live with family, 35% for Polyev. 0.99

00:10:38.940 People who rent versus those who buy.

00:10:41.260 People who rent, 32% for Polyev versus 24% for the Libs.

00:10:45.540 This one is just really shocking to me.

00:10:48.260 By union membership, public sector unions are going for Pierre Polyev.

00:10:53.640 Private sector unions are going for Pierre Polyev.

00:10:56.420 And no union membership are going for Pierre Polyev.

00:10:59.080 Next, I wanted to show you the voting intention by region.

00:11:03.160 Here is Toronto.

00:11:04.460 Notoriously left-wing Liberal Toronto says that they're going for Pierre Polyev.

00:11:09.500 36% in Toronto proper.

00:11:11.540 42% in the GTA.

00:11:15.060 Next, education level.

00:11:16.600 We're often told that intelligent, college-educated people go for Liberals.

00:11:20.800 Not so much.

00:11:21.820 College-educated are more likely to be voting for Pierre Polyev.

00:11:25.740 41% for college-educated, university-educated 37% to only 28% for the Libs.

00:11:33.500 So no matter what demographic you're looking at, Pierre Polyev is dominating.

00:11:37.620 Among Liberal strongholds, among former left-wing voters, Pierre Polyev is dominating.

00:11:42.700 Final one I wanted to show you here is basically exactly to the point the Legacy Media were talking about last week.

00:11:48.300 It says the question was, has your intention of ex-politician changed over the past few weeks?

00:11:54.300 So for Justin Trudeau, has your opinion worsened?

00:11:56.540 48% of Canadians say yes, our opinion has worsened of Justin Trudeau.

00:12:00.780 39% say no change and only 13% say that their opinion has improved.

00:12:05.240 What about for Pierre Polyev?

00:12:06.440 We're told that he showed his nasty side and that's going to turn Canadians away from him.

00:12:10.380 Well, no change, 45%. 0.87

00:12:13.000 People whose impression improved, 32% and 22% listened.

00:12:18.920 So I guess 22% of Canadians maybe listen to the Legacy Media or get their opinion through them compared to, again, 48% for Trudeau said their opinion worsens.

00:12:29.340 So it's almost like the Legacy Media is completely wrong.

00:12:33.380 Okay, finally, the poll aggregator 338, which just shows the aggregate of all polls taken recently, shows that the Conservatives now hold a solid 41% of the voting projection, which would equate to 208 seats.

00:12:46.940 We're talking, folks, we're talking about perhaps the largest sweep in Canadian history.

00:12:51.980 We're talking about 1984 levels when Brian Mulroney won 211 seats, which was the most number of seats ever won by a political party.

00:12:59.220 Pierre Polyev is up in that territory.

00:13:00.640 Look at the divergence in vote between Liberal and Conservative over the past six months.

00:13:06.420 And again, this is telling us everything we need to know about the Legacy Media.

00:13:09.760 Why are they scrambling to attack the leader of the opposition?

00:13:12.540 Why are they working so hard to change a perception of Justin Trudeau to shift attention away from the Prime Minister who is engulfed in scandals and who Canadians just aren't very happy with?

00:13:21.640 Why aren't they focusing on that?

00:13:23.140 Why are they focusing on Conservative leader Pierre Polyev?

00:13:25.980 Well, your guess is as good as mine.

00:13:27.160 Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Pierre Polyev doesn't want to bail out the media, that he opposes media bailouts.

00:13:32.000 He opposes huge taxpayer funding towards the CBC and the newspapers.

00:13:36.920 Maybe, maybe that has something to do with it.

00:13:39.060 Finally, last poll here.

00:13:40.480 November 29th, three in four Canadians want Justin Trudeau to go.

00:13:46.120 Justin Trudeau insists he's going to stay, but the overwhelming majority, 72% of all respondents, say Justin Trudeau should go.

00:13:53.620 That includes 33% of Liberal supporters.

00:13:58.120 That's the truth.

00:13:58.960 Look, polling could be wrong.

00:13:59.980 Take it all with a grain of salt.

00:14:01.780 It's a snapshot into what Canadians are thinking about and feeling this week in politics.

00:14:06.500 But just keep in mind that this is exactly the opposite direction that the legacy media told you that things were going to go.

00:14:13.000 Their perception of Pierre Polyev is completely wrong.

00:14:16.000 All right.

00:14:16.260 Thanks so much for tuning in.

00:14:17.700 Have a wonderful weekend.

00:14:18.900 This has been Fake News Friday.

00:14:19.880 I'm Candice Malcolm, and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
