Hello and welcome to you all. This is Friday, August 5th, 2022. You are tuned in to another
00:00:16.560
edition of Fake News Friday here on True North. Not Canada's most irreverent talk show, that's
00:00:23.220
the Andrew Lawton Show. Not the all-seeing eye on things happening on social media, that's ratioed
00:00:28.580
with my friend and colleague and co-host for this foray into the fakery of some of the news media,
00:00:35.200
Harrison Faulkner. Harrison, how was the week? Good, sir. Good to see you, Andrew. It was a pretty
00:00:39.780
good week. I feel like I'm still kind of bringing myself back to speed after that ridiculous
00:00:44.240
conservative debate on Wednesday that basically slowed me down to a halt. So I'm kind of getting
00:00:50.200
back up to speed looking forward to the weekend. Yeah, that was Fake News Friday, I believe. The
00:00:54.440
reality of that debate, and I won't rehash it because I do realize that some people might be
00:00:59.200
listening while they drive, and I don't want to be responsible for any collisions on the Trans
00:01:03.900
Canada Highway if we play clips from that thing. But it was interesting how so many people said it
00:01:09.260
was so necessary, and we're now two days after, and I've yet to hear anyone articulate what we gained
00:01:15.820
from that debate, apart from vindication. I think the people that said there didn't need to be a
00:01:21.440
debate were vindicated. So it might have actually been a bit of a win for Pierre Polyev and Leslie
00:01:26.600
Lewis, even if I do think they were wrong to skip out on the official debate.
00:01:31.480
Yeah, I agree with you, Andrew. We made that point on the Wednesday show that at first I was in that
00:01:36.980
camp too. I said, you know, they should show up at this debate, do their part, make sure they give
00:01:40.860
Canadians and the other candidates a chance to hear what they have to say. But then after watching
00:01:46.020
about five minutes of it, I immediately realized that they had made the right choice. So we were stuck
00:01:50.840
then. We were stuck for, what was that, an hour plus of English, French, back and forth,
00:01:57.000
boring conversations. So I'm glad it's over and just looking forward to the weekend at this point.
00:02:02.200
One person who checked completely out of the debate and also out of Canadian politics for a
00:02:07.480
couple of weeks is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has taken a two-week family vacation to Costa Rica,
00:02:14.300
where he is going to be at a resort that he stayed at in 2019. It's purely a holiday. If you
00:02:20.620
look at his itineraries that are coming out, like just look at today's, for example, from the Prime
00:02:25.680
Minister's office, it says it's a personal day. And there it is, Costa Rica in big, bold letters.
00:02:31.800
Now, before we get into the media side of this, I want to just restate the reason that they're
00:02:36.960
putting on that itinerary, Costa Rica, in bold letters, is because Trudeau was busted for taking
00:02:43.460
a secret vacation a while ago. I think to Tofino, and maybe, I might be wrong, maybe the previous
00:02:50.180
Costa Rica vacation as well, where the press releases kept saying Ottawa, Ottawa, Ottawa, and then people
00:02:56.520
in the local community were taking pictures of Justin Trudeau, and he was demonstrably not in Ottawa.
00:03:02.660
So now they're at least being honest about where in the world Justin Trudeau is. Two-week vacation in
00:03:08.640
Costa Rica. And people reported on this, because I think it is news. When the Prime Minister skips up
00:03:14.000
and leaves, especially in the midst of what the government characterizes as an ongoing pandemic,
00:03:19.500
that is something Canadians are interested in. Now, what you take away from that news,
00:03:24.360
is it a good thing, is it a bad thing, or is it just information, is up to you. True North reported
00:03:30.280
on it, and it was interesting to see how some of the legacy media types pounced on True North
00:03:35.840
and other outlets criticizing people for talking about this. And basically, just to give a couple
00:03:41.540
of examples here, there was one notable piece from Max Fawcett who said, stop punishing Trudeau
00:03:48.220
for having a private life. Now, this is the guy who's punished Canadians for making a private decision
00:03:54.820
to not be vaccinated, but we're to just leave him alone on his own time. And what he says here
00:04:00.540
is that it is manufactured outrage by Canada's conservative media ecosystem. And he calls out
00:04:07.460
True North, but even outlets like the Canadian Press, Global News, and CBC for treating his decision
00:04:13.340
to take a well-deserved break as a legitimate news story. It strikes me that whether you agree or
00:04:21.580
disagree with whether he's deserved a break, that he is taking one is inherently newsworthy.
00:04:27.500
Well, it's not only just Max Fawcett, National Observer, trying to cover for Justin Trudeau.
00:04:33.540
The Globe and Mail, Robin Urbach, who I usually don't have any issues with, she also jumped to
00:04:38.300
Justin Trudeau's defense for taking the vacation. And, you know, we can get into the details. We can
00:04:42.200
say, yeah, isn't it hypocritical that Justin Trudeau and this, what the government, as you said,
00:04:47.000
considers to be an ongoing pandemic, and with inflation at this level that it is,
00:04:53.100
you know, Justin Trudeau, the guy that has told several thousands of Canadians, I don't know the
00:04:58.760
exact number, but a lot of Canadians for quite a while couldn't board a plane or a train. A lot
00:05:04.420
of Canadians were subject to rules that limited them from having their own private life. And here
00:05:08.480
comes the legacy media to defend Justin Trudeau for his private life. But my biggest issue with
00:05:13.040
this is not even that, Andrew. It's 30 degrees here in Toronto. It's way too hot for me, even.
00:05:17.700
And so the idea of possibly going further south to Costa Rica to, what, get warmer weather? I don't
00:05:23.260
understand it. He doesn't seem to have a problem vacationing anywhere in Canada. He could have gone
00:05:28.180
somewhere in Canada, but he decided to, I don't know, catch the heat. It's too hot for me here. I
00:05:32.140
don't understand that move. Yeah, that's actually an interesting angle, Harrison. I don't know if I
00:05:37.360
can ever take anyone seriously who lectures us about global warming who chose to go to the Caribbean in
00:05:42.660
August. Exactly. Exactly. It's just like, if you escape the winter, okay, fair game. Everyone
00:05:48.240
wants to get out of here in December. I think, to be honest, Trudeau wants to take vacations all the
00:05:53.240
time. He loves it, whether it's Tofino, Costa Rica, the Aga Khan's private island of Bahamas. I think
00:05:59.340
it's probably annoyed him greatly that he hasn't had time now because there have been summits and
00:06:03.900
meetings and a parliamentary schedule. So he's probably just had like a resort credit that he's
00:06:08.440
needed to use. And finally, it's like, okay, I can get away for two weeks in August. I'm going to go
00:06:12.640
I don't begrudge political leaders from taking vacation. And I have actually differed from a lot
00:06:18.800
of my colleagues on this issue, because I think if Trudeau were to take a vacation 50 weeks of the
00:06:23.460
year, the country would actually be quite well served by it. And I would love for him, and I
00:06:28.220
might actually chip in a few dollars for him to stay at the resort until 2025. Maybe we can get a
00:06:33.120
crowdfunding campaign going. But I think it is the double standard in the media. When you see Doug Ford,
00:06:39.300
who was just eviscerated for going up to a cottage on the long weekend, admittedly, well,
00:06:44.240
Doug Ford was telling people not to go to the cottage. But even so, when Stephen Harper went to
00:06:48.920
New York to take in a ball game with his son, he was chastised in the media for it. So the idea that
00:06:55.180
we're being told, don't mention this at all, by the same people that jumped up and down for vacations
00:07:00.680
that were far less opulent, that double standard is the issue I take here.
00:07:04.520
No, exactly. And the idea that Justin Trudeau taking a vacation, a two-week vacation in the
00:07:10.180
current climate we're in, the idea that that is not newsworthy is just obviously not true. Again,
00:07:14.940
you said it's a double standard. We hear it all the time when conservative politicians make the
00:07:19.220
wrong move and take the wrong time to go on vacation, or even just take the right time to go
00:07:23.420
on vacation. But again, you can't tell me that when the prime minister takes two weeks off,
00:07:27.660
you know, because he's working so hard, right? You know, crossing the country, showing up at
00:07:32.080
photo ops, shaking hands, really tough stuff. Well, you know, the idea that that's not news
00:07:36.580
is just a joke. Obviously, it's newsworthy. Canadians can expect to have high standards
00:07:42.320
for their prime minister, especially when he has such lofty standards for all of us to reach. So
00:07:46.840
again, it's just, it's ridiculous to come at True North as National Observer did. And it's,
00:07:51.700
but then again, it shouldn't really surprise anyone that you're seeing National Observer,
00:07:55.100
you're seeing some Globe and Mail defense of Trudeau's vacation. It's again, like I always
00:07:59.680
say on the, on the, on the show, it's par for the course. Nothing really new is, is changing in the
00:08:04.100
media climate here. I will say I can see the appeal. If you're the prime minister of a country like
00:08:09.660
Canada going to just a completely other place where you're not going to be recognized. There was
00:08:14.640
this photo. I almost feel mean sharing the photo, but at the same time, it's, it's newsworthy in and
00:08:21.180
of itself. And it's already out there. When Trudeau was in Costa Rica last time, one of the locals
00:08:26.320
shopped a spot him. I think it was like buying booze at the local depeneur or whatever the
00:08:31.060
Costa Rican equivalent of a depeneur is. And he looked rough. Like he, he looked like he was in
00:08:36.740
a vacation mindset that was just like the most depressed vacation a man could ever have. This
00:08:42.720
was the picture there. But he can't walk around like that in Tofino. He can't walk around like that
00:08:47.400
in Canada. So you can be your like true self in Costa Rica. We should all be so lucky.
00:08:52.500
I wonder if he'll wear a mask on the plane on the way down. I highly doubt it, but you
00:08:55.740
never know. We talked a little bit in this segment about media double standards. Let's
00:09:00.740
talk about just complete media ignorance of some very large stories. The vaccine mandates,
00:09:06.880
the vaccine passports, there have been some glimmers of hope in coverage where reporters,
00:09:11.660
especially the longer the pandemic has gone on, have doggedly advanced on this story. The
00:09:18.040
questions about why are mask policies so inconsistent? And why do we need these mandates in Canada
00:09:22.980
and not elsewhere? But Rupa Subramanya, our colleague at True North, who also writes for a variety of
00:09:29.280
other publications, had a tremendous piece in Barry Weiss's substat, Common Sense, which delved
00:09:35.740
into federal court documents in an ongoing trial. And these were documents filed by the court,
00:09:40.920
or filed by the Canadian government in court in its defense of a lawsuit against the vaccine mandate
00:09:47.240
for air travel. And what she found is that the travel ban for the unvaccinated had no basis in
00:09:54.620
science. The panel that was responsible for putting it together was stalked by people that didn't have
00:10:01.000
scientific backgrounds, didn't have health backgrounds. The person in charge was a bureaucrat,
00:10:06.000
not a public health expert. And really, this suggests, as Rupa finds in the documents and says
00:10:11.860
in her piece, that it was all just a matter of politics and not science. So certainly something
00:10:17.600
we've talked about in the past, Harrison. But the big story here on a secondary front has been that
00:10:23.660
three days later, not a single journalist that I've seen in Canada has picked up the torch and moved
00:10:29.020
on with this story. Well, this is what Canadians, I think, should come to expect, Andrew. Independent
00:10:34.780
journalists, journalists like Rupa, journalists like the ones we have here at True North and other
00:10:40.140
outlets that are actually, that have actually been holding the government to account this entire
00:10:43.880
time, continue to do their job. And the mainstream journalists, the legacy media journalists, who
00:10:47.940
many of them are on the take from the government, consistently failed to hold the government to
00:10:52.160
account. So they've, they've, this is just no different, really. This is a huge bombshell report
00:10:57.060
that Rupa, Rupa wrote in common sense. And basically it just, it, it kind of confirms what
00:11:03.100
we've all known, Andrew, which is, this is all based in politics. Justin Trudeau seems to have a
00:11:08.160
different definition of science than the rest of the world. And Canadians, because of that, have had
00:11:12.420
to suffer. So when, when Rupa publishes this post, not only does the legacy media not do anything,
00:11:18.820
sit on their hands. And basically by doing that covering for Trudeau, we, you actually see,
00:11:23.980
maybe it's not the journalists themselves, but you see people who are supportive of the prime
00:11:27.660
minister attacking journalists like Rupa for making the truth and getting the truth out to
00:11:32.540
Canadians. This is the biggest story that we've been living under. These draconian travel measures
00:11:38.300
that have, that have been leveled against Canadians is the most important thing that we need to be
00:11:43.440
holding the government to account over. And of course, what, what, what else should we expect?
00:11:48.300
And the legacy media is not going to do a single bit of reporting. I will say, I, I'll be put money on
00:11:52.920
this that in two weeks, two to three weeks, journalists in the legacy media, maybe like
00:11:57.740
the national post might eventually come around to the story. It might eventually write the story,
00:12:02.400
but of course not give any credit to the journalist that broke the story. Where have you seen that
00:12:06.660
before? And of course, just pretend as though they're breaking news that has been broken for
00:12:11.200
weeks already. It's these repealing, these mandates, repealing these measures that are not based in
00:12:16.280
science is the most important issue facing Canadians right now. At least I believe that. And I'm
00:12:20.980
pretty confident that most Canadians agree with me. So the idea that when journalists break this news
00:12:25.760
and MSM journalists, legacy media journalists with bigger audiences and bigger platforms do nothing,
00:12:31.980
it's ridiculous. Yeah. And I'm a big Substack fan. I've got my own Substack. So I'll put in a shameless
00:12:39.380
plug there. You can subscribe to that at andrewlotton.substack.com. And I'm a subscriber to Common Sense,
00:12:46.060
the idea of Common Sense, and also the Substack Common Sense. And the thing that I find fascinating
00:12:52.220
here is that it's another one of these examples where Canadians are forced to look outside their
00:12:56.780
own country to get coverage that journalists inside the country should be putting forward. Now,
00:13:02.480
obviously, there are some times when stories just happen to get broken outside, like the Trudeau
00:13:08.000
blackface photo, the initial one came from Time magazine, just because of a personal connection
00:13:12.640
between the Time reporter and the person who leaked the photo. And in this case, Rupa's Canadian.
00:13:17.900
She's got a relationship with Common Sense. It was a great platform for it. Fine. But you look at the
00:13:23.180
Freedom Convoy, and one of the themes I've talked about in my book, and we've talked about it at True
00:13:27.000
North, is that by and large, Canadians were better served by outlets like Fox News and GB News,
00:13:32.840
and even the New York Times on a couple of occasions, than they were by Canadian legacy media outlets. And
00:13:39.640
for all that we see a government that likes to harp on the importance of Canadian content and Canadian
00:13:44.620
media, Canadian media needs to step up, because a lot of these stories are only getting covered by
00:13:49.320
outlets outside the country. So this story, it's worth just going into, for those of you that haven't
00:13:54.800
read it, for those of you that haven't listened to Andrew's interview with Rupa, which was a great
00:13:58.560
interview and a great explainer, it's important to just bring up some key facts, because when I read
00:14:02.680
this, I was blown away. These are things that I didn't even know about. This panel, this COVID
00:14:06.860
recovery, that's the government panel that instituted all these mandates that have basically
00:14:12.600
destroyed our international reputation and destroyed a lot of Canadians' lives. This group,
00:14:16.960
this COVID recovery group, has no website. You can't find the name anywhere on government documents,
00:14:22.280
except for tiny brief mentions. So the idea that there's any transparency to go along with these
00:14:27.980
insane rules that have been placed on Canadians, the fact that there is none is incredible.
00:14:33.240
And Rupa has been able to get documents that prove that the people in this panel, obviously we know
00:14:40.480
have no medical experience, none of them are actual doctors, but they were scrambling and asking the
00:14:45.020
government over and over, please give us some justification for why we're doing this. Please
00:14:49.360
tell us how in medicine and in science we can justify this insane rule to Canadians. There was none.
00:14:56.220
That's the craziest part about this. This is, in any other country, in any other circumstance,
00:15:00.920
if we didn't have a legacy media that is totally on the take, this would be breaking news. This would
00:15:07.440
dominate the news headlines for a whole week, but it isn't. And Canadians are not being served
00:15:13.460
by the Globe and Mail. The Globe and Mail cannot be representative as our paper of record anymore
00:15:17.860
if they can't honestly report this story. And like you said, Andrew, we are getting better served
00:15:23.040
oftentimes. As tough as it is to say as someone in Canadian media, a lot of the reporting we get on the
00:15:29.320
convoy on this situation coming from the United States has been far better than the legacy media.
00:15:34.000
I would even throw in some independent sites like Daily Wire in there. They're constantly on the ball
00:15:38.820
with this. And again, it's just another example of things happening to Canadians at such a pace
00:15:43.820
that we can't even really keep up. And when we finally do catch up, when we finally do connect the
00:15:49.460
dots and realize there's no justification for it, it's too late or the legacy media just refuses to cover
00:15:54.620
it. Yeah. And I would, I mean, Rupa herself pointed this out the day after her story broke.
00:15:59.620
She said, it would be a shame if mainstream Canadian media ignored such an obviously important
00:16:03.980
story. It's been a little more than 24 hours since my story broke and more than two weeks since the
00:16:08.740
documents became publicly available. Looking the other way on something this important is a bad look.
00:16:14.460
And of course, it's been even longer now that we are having this discussion. And I would add to that
00:16:20.800
that she got this story and I don't know who tipped her off if anyone did, or if she was just doing a
00:16:26.400
data mine. But as she said, in my interview with her, she saw the court, the trial, she saw the
00:16:31.420
documents, she asked the federal court and they emailed them to her. And that was that she didn't
00:16:35.340
even need to go to a courthouse, which can be a gruelingly unpleasant process. So there's no reason
00:16:40.320
someone else couldn't pick this up because if you look at all the snippy Twitter trolls, they're all
00:16:44.020
saying like, well, show me the documents, show me the receipts. And I look, perhaps the article would
00:16:48.700
have been more compelling if she included the documents, but it's very easy for anyone to
00:16:52.780
verify this, to do it themselves. And yeah, I think the kind thing to do would be to credit the one
00:16:57.120
who originally reported it. But I mean, the sense that I got from Rupa and certainly the sense I
00:17:01.640
would take is just more people need to be talking about this because it's essential to delegitimize
00:17:06.580
what are, I think, very illegitimate policies that the government is still defending.
00:17:11.100
So Andrew, what I want to know is where the drive, where the kind of the engagement from
00:17:17.660
journalist has gone from the legacy media, this would be a great opportunity to, to hold the
00:17:22.680
power to account, to hold the government to account, to break a huge story. Like Rupa said
00:17:27.000
on your, in your interview, it wasn't as though she did some incredible groundbreaking piece of
00:17:31.580
investigative reporting, not to take anything away, that it was there for the taking. It was
00:17:35.740
there for a journalist who had the drive to find this story and to do it. They could, they could
00:17:40.720
have found it. I don't think we're going to see any, uh, any Watergate style breaking, uh,
00:17:46.280
breaking news stories coming from the legacy media anytime soon. But, uh, again, that's,
00:17:50.660
that's just what we've, we should come to expect from the media. Now, Andrew, we got a, we got an
00:17:54.840
interesting story in the CBC, which is basically telling us that not only should we transition away
00:18:01.780
from, uh, fossil fuel burning those, those awful nasty cars we've been driving for so long, not only
00:18:07.700
should we transition away from those to EVs, but actually our whole dependence on cars to begin with
00:18:12.500
is the problem. And it turns out maybe even the left are starting to turn on EVs because they're
00:18:17.260
not environmentally friendly enough. I can't even keep up with these guys. Yeah, this is a weird one.
00:18:22.060
Shifting to EVs is not enough. The deeper problem is our car dependence. Now, by the way, I'm, I'm going
00:18:28.540
to just take aim here at some of the critics, because I think that some of the science in the article
00:18:34.320
here is incredibly valid. When the author talks about the importance of looking at the full process
00:18:41.880
of electric vehicles and the, uh, pollution that comes from it and the, uh, harm to the environment
00:18:47.560
that mining causes, when you're talking about the minerals for all of the, uh, cells that are used
00:18:52.760
in the batteries and cobalt mining and water contamination and, and all of this, not to mention
00:18:57.420
shipping costs. These things are mined in, you know, Democratic Republic of Congo and the batteries
00:19:02.260
are manufactured elsewhere. And in the lifespan of a battery from creation to installation in an electric
00:19:08.500
car to then manufacturing of the car, which involves plastics, which of course are petroleum
00:19:13.220
based. The environmental impact of an electric car is not any better in a substantial or discernible
00:19:20.700
way from the, from what a combustible engine car does. So I think that's a valid point to make.
00:19:28.280
Now, where I differ from Marx, uh, take from that what you will, is that the conclusion from that is
00:19:34.840
not, well, no one should drive any car. It's that, okay, we should stop trying to foist electric cars
00:19:39.820
when they're not doing the thing that they say they're going to do. We are still a culture that
00:19:43.620
needs to get around in rural parts of the country, especially in suburban parts of the country.
00:19:48.840
The idea of abandoning cars is just not viable. And I don't think ever can be. Certainly there's not
00:19:54.560
going to be a bus stop that can pick you up on County road one and take you to County road two and
00:19:58.820
take you around a farmer Joe's field. Like that's not what public transit is.
00:20:02.520
So I don't buy into the fact that because electric cars aren't great, no one should use any car.
00:20:08.620
No, exactly. And where do you even start with this article, right? I mean, the author's last name is
00:20:12.760
Marx. He leads with that. And then, and then, you know, he's trying to get us all to take public
00:20:17.120
transportation or to, you know, to, to kind of go together on, uh, on public transport and embrace
00:20:22.740
public transportation. I just found that to be quite, quite hilarious. But again, like you said,
00:20:26.740
any honest conversation about electric vehicles, about a transition to electric vehicles,
00:20:31.300
like we hear from some of these climate zealots, any honest conversation would include, as you
00:20:37.120
mentioned, Andrew, the fact that these EVs are not any better for the environment. I mean, as you
00:20:42.160
know, from start to finish the production to the driving of one, even when, even when the EV battery
00:20:46.720
is dead, where do those go? You know, it's not like it's, it's not like it's renewable energy
00:20:50.740
that, uh, that we're talking about. Of course you can power the battery, but where does it all come
00:20:54.780
from? All the materials, as everybody already knows are not renewable. So again, it's this,
00:20:59.920
it's this idea that, uh, I love to see it when you have sort of leftists turning on leftists. It's,
00:21:04.980
it's, it's quite the spectacle. Um, but again, the idea that the idea that a complete transition to
00:21:10.000
EVs is any better for the environment is obviously not true. And an honest conversation about that
00:21:14.540
would include that part. Um, but again, as you said, it's, it's very classic CBC. I feel like
00:21:20.060
let's just all do public transportation. Let's just all ride bikes. Let's just all, you know,
00:21:24.600
take it easy on the cars. We don't need cars. Well, I don't know, Andrew, how often, uh, Paris
00:21:29.960
marks has, uh, has left Toronto or left an urban center. Again, I haven't met this guy, but you
00:21:35.600
can't just be calling on all of us to, uh, to take public transportation. As you said, when we have
00:21:39.760
to go from County road one, you know, two hours away to get to work in a whole other, in a whole
00:21:45.040
other city, where's the public transportation outside of the cities, obviously it's not there. So
00:21:49.300
it's just a ridiculous piece. It's another sort of climate target, which has never be reached.
00:21:53.560
Uh, it'll always just be one of those on the horizon things that I guess we're going to pretend
00:21:57.740
to try and work toward. But, uh, again, when you see even the EV, even the, the idolatry of the
00:22:03.740
electric vehicles, I guess it's starting to shift. And I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how that
00:22:07.680
all plays out. I did see though, a concept presented of a viable alternative. Take a look.
00:22:13.240
See, I mean, there you go. They might not like the, the, the few trees had to come down for the
00:22:20.220
wood frame, but carbon neutral entirely. So, uh, that's what we're all headed for. It's
00:22:25.280
Marx approved. It's Trudeau approved. It's WEF approved. Everyone should be happy. And
00:22:30.060
speaking of WEF, I know everyone says, Oh, it's a conspiracy to talk about Klaus Schwab, but
00:22:34.800
I'd be remiss to not point out that this is the exact sort of big idea that tends to come out of
00:22:41.040
there that even these things that we're told were initially our big contribution to the environment
00:22:44.860
are not enough. So, uh, let's end on a somewhat happier note, or at least a more amusing note.
00:22:51.640
I, I, this one is a little bit interesting and I could see how this one might just fly under the
00:22:56.920
radar for a lot of people who aren't pro wrestling fans. It was our producer Phil behind the scenes who
00:23:02.320
alerted us to this one. The headline sounds like a legitimate news story. Ronda Rousey suspended
00:23:08.920
indefinitely after attacking ref at SummerSlam. This is a Toronto stun article by the National
00:23:15.380
Entertainment Editor for the Toronto Sun and for the National Sun newspaper chain, Ronda Rousey, former
00:23:20.900
UFC fighter. Now she is in the WWE. You may think, Oh wow, she was suspended. She attacked a ref. That's not
00:23:27.580
good. Well, not exactly. There's a little bit of missing context here in wrestling. When you take time off,
00:23:35.420
when you go on summer holiday, perhaps a suspension is what they do that works into your character. So you get
00:23:42.300
suspended because it lets them gin up a bit of drama and you take some time off. The attacking of the ref was a
00:23:48.720
scripted wrestling bitch. She didn't actually attack the ref. Uh, the WWE's tweet about this, that Ronda Rousey was
00:23:55.260
fined and suspended. You see the photo here of her with, uh, the ref in a chokehold. Uh, that is not real. That is standard
00:24:03.700
wrestling posturing, but this article plays it straight reports on it as though it is an entirely
00:24:09.640
real thing without missing the fact that this is just one big giant wrestling bit. I, this has to be
00:24:17.060
one of the fake news Friday stories of the year. I know it's only August. Am I overstating this one, Harrison?
00:24:22.580
On the list for sure. It just has to with, with all the, you can throw it up there with the headline changes
00:24:27.860
and, uh, and some of the CBC keys and O's. This one is definitely up there. I think Andrew, I mean,
00:24:33.680
it was just kind of weird because we were tipped off to this by, uh, by our producer. I saw this article
00:24:38.180
yesterday and I, I read the headline knowing it's wrestling, knowing that everything in a wrestling
00:24:43.260
event is staged and fake. It's like when they whisper to the guy, I'm going to punch in the face to be
00:24:47.060
ready. And then he throws the hook and, uh, then it's a big, oh, it's a big, you know, big act as
00:24:51.840
though he got really hurt. So obviously it's fake. They run it as though it's real news. And then when I read it,
00:24:57.280
I thought to myself, well, hold on, I know it's fake, but it's in the Toronto sun. And you know,
00:25:02.520
they're telling us that she got fined. So what is true? What is fake? That's the, they're blurring
00:25:06.640
the lines with wrestling. That's the problem, Andrew. You just don't really know what you're
00:25:10.080
even reading. Uh, but it's quite, I just got to say, this is a bit embarrassing for the Toronto sun.
00:25:14.720
I think they do deserve to hear it a little bit, uh, from us, from maybe the audience. They've got to
00:25:19.300
take a little laugh at this because obviously everything about wrestling is fake. We all know that it's not a
00:25:24.080
surprise. There's a word for, I mean, there's even a word for the fakery and wrestling kayfabe.
00:25:29.540
This article is kayfabe and the, or the whole incident was kayfabe. And when you look at the
00:25:35.060
comments in the article, it's hilarious because no reader is buying into it. Like Mario says, uh,
00:25:40.860
this is literally fake news. Michael says, yawn, definitely kayfabe. Why is this news? Uh, Ian writes,
00:25:47.560
probably wanted a break and this was the way to script it. Kevin, why is this news? So it's like
00:25:51.960
not a single person in the process of writing, editing, and publishing this story realized what
00:25:57.240
every single reader has realized. So it exactly. And it's worth just because just showing you how
00:26:02.720
ridiculous this story is. I want to just read the, the sort of the lead paragraph here. And you might
00:26:07.800
be expecting, if you knew that it was fake going into it, you would probably be expecting this is,
00:26:11.900
you know, WWE standard procedure at some point in the article. There's no, there's no qualifier in
00:26:16.740
here at all. It's just reported directly as though it's a breaking news story directly as though
00:26:20.980
Ronda Rousey is back in the MMA octagon and not in the WWE staged, uh, staged ring. So it's,
00:26:28.480
it leads with Rousey 35 flipped Angler and pinned the 44 year old after she lost the women's title
00:26:34.500
match to Liv Morgan in front of a sold out crowd at Nissan stadium. Either even talking about the
00:26:39.060
sellout crowd. It's like a puff piece for WWE. It's ridiculous. It's probably one of those Toronto
00:26:43.340
sun ad articles that you'll see in these, uh, on these websites. It's just a complete joke,
00:26:48.140
perfect fake news. And in my, my opinion, the absolute perfect way to, uh, to end the show
00:26:52.520
this week and to throw us to the weekend. All right. Well, make sure you check out Harrison
00:26:57.160
Faulkner show ratioed. Make sure you check out my own show, the Andrew Lawton show, pick up my book,
00:27:02.260
fake news, not at all in there. It is the freedom convoy, the inside story of three weeks that shook
00:27:07.620
the world. And we've got lots of great programs on it. True North. Now I absolutely love, we've got
00:27:11.760
like more than the TV guy did when I was growing up. We've got, uh, the Rupa Subramania show. We've
00:27:16.240
got reality check. We've got a brand new show that is Alberta focused hosted by Rachel Emanuel
00:27:21.880
and lots more. So do keep tuned to tnc.news. And if you can chip in a few bucks to support
00:27:27.280
any or all of these shows, you can do that at donate.tnc.news. That does it for me, Harrison.
00:27:33.040
Thanks very much. We will talk to you all next Friday. Have a great weekend and God bless.
