Do conservatives really believe in conspiracy theories?
00:00:02.960
Did Pierre Polyev really lie about terrorism at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara?
00:00:06.700
And did Israel really level and bomb a hospital in Gaza?
00:00:10.640
Well, the liberal-funded legacy media told you so, so it must be true, right?

Well, it's Fake News Friday, and today we're going through the top fake news stories of 2023.

Well, today I am joined by journalist Harrison Faulkner, host of Ratioed here at True North,
00:00:56.740
and we're going to walk you through some of the most egregious lies told by the legacy media.
00:01:02.080
That's what Fake News Friday is all about, exposing the agenda, exposing the lies from the legacy media.
00:01:07.920
We each picked a few of our favorite fake news stories of the year, so let's jump right to it.
00:01:15.100
So the first story we have here, Candace, as our audience will know,
00:01:18.460
is the hysteria over Christine Anderson, the German-European politician
00:01:23.500
who has become one of the loudest critics against Justin Trudeau over the past few years.
00:01:28.640
She's made numerous trips to Canada, and at the beginning of this year,
00:01:32.380
on one of her trips to Canada, she went and visited with three conservative MPs,
00:01:38.820
Now, of course, the legacy media jumped on this because, in their opinion,
00:01:46.080
anyone who calls out the Islamization of their country
00:01:49.460
must be some sort of racist, hateful, xenophobic, awful person.
00:01:55.380
And, of course, that is exactly what the legacy media did.
00:01:59.220
which is giving the liberal government opportunity to run their own opposition attack ads.
00:02:05.840
To try and say that conservatives were meeting with this vile, racist, Nazi politician.
00:02:11.680
Now, we don't need to get into all of the details
00:02:16.040
but the reality is, one, you can't be a Nazi in Germany.
00:02:20.880
Two, Christine Anderson has repeatedly said that she is not a racist, not a Nazi, obviously.
00:02:28.120
When she comes to Canada, she's met with Holocaust survivors.
00:02:31.460
It's absurd to say that Christine Anderson is anything close to a racist.
00:02:41.260
because, of course, the legacy media jumped on this,
00:02:46.400
said that the conservatives who met with her were doing something very naughty, very bad.
00:02:55.080
Pierre Paulyev himself, in response to the legacy media,
00:03:01.400
and said that Christine Anderson was a vile racist
00:03:03.820
and that she should never have come to Canada in the first place.
00:03:06.560
I also want to show our audience this clip of a liberal MP
00:03:10.400
basically taking the exact line the legacy media gave them
00:03:13.640
and saying in the House of Commons that Christine Anderson was a known Nazi.
00:03:20.060
I'm just curious if she thinks there should be consequences
00:03:31.380
who spread, uh, misinformation, disinformation,
00:03:36.960
who speak against, uh, uh, anti-Muslim rhetoric.
00:03:42.040
Uh, I'm just curious if she's talking about online hate
00:03:47.660
Does she condemn her actions by meeting with a known Nazi?
00:03:51.140
So, Candace, it's predictable programming, really,
00:03:55.420
They just did anything they could to make conservatives look bad,
00:04:02.940
So, Candace, it's predictable programming from the legacy media,
00:04:05.560
doing anything they can to make conservative MPs look bad,
00:04:18.200
One of the things that people love about Pierre Paulyev
00:04:28.600
Andrew Sheeran, Aaron O'Toole, uh, conservatism.
00:04:31.580
And that's not what we really expect from Paulyev.
00:04:33.660
Sometimes it takes an outsider, um, uh, you know,
00:04:36.020
a foreign observer of Canada to really say the things
00:04:38.360
that people in Canada don't say or afraid to say.
00:04:40.860
And I think that's why Christina Anderson's voice
00:04:45.180
with every single thing a person says just to, you know,
00:04:48.680
I'm sure there's things, uh, that you say, Harrison,
00:04:51.020
There are things that, of course, another politician,
00:04:53.520
politicians say things all the time, so do journalists.
00:04:56.100
Um, but yeah, this whole line that if you criticize
00:04:58.800
mass migration, if you criticize extreme radical Islam,
00:05:02.240
uh, you're beyond the pale is just total nonsense.
00:05:07.100
I think that's part of the reason the legacy media
00:05:08.640
doesn't have the same credibility they used to.
00:05:11.040
Uh, this is kind of like a sad example of like everything
00:05:14.440
slipping back to the way it was like five, 10 years ago.
00:05:18.640
There's no reason for Polyev to fall to the legacy media's
00:05:22.120
fake news narratives about a German politician.
00:05:29.260
That's why she has such a, a large Canadian following.
00:05:31.920
So there's no need to stab your own MPs in the back.
00:05:34.740
There's no need to take the legacy media narrative.
00:05:36.940
They're obviously trying to discredit conservatives.
00:05:38.820
It doesn't matter what the truth really, really is.
00:05:42.460
So like you say, it was, it was an unnecessary error
00:05:47.360
Well, let's hope we don't see too many more of those in 2024.
00:05:50.540
Another, uh, fake news narrative and story from 23.
00:05:52.940
I couldn't, I couldn't not include this story, Harrison,
00:05:55.060
because whenever it comes to anything to do with Israel,
00:05:58.260
there's just this derangement that you see in the legacy media
00:06:02.500
Like if you take a step back, look, like you could,
00:06:06.220
I don't think Canada should have any involvement.
00:06:07.480
You can say like, look, let people in the Middle East
00:06:10.780
But when you're sort of talking about covering a war,
00:06:19.380
And it kind of goes to like a broader ideological divide, Harrison,
00:06:27.000
you're either oppressed or you're an oppressor.
00:06:31.920
and they have a developed economy and a developed society,
00:06:56.060
you know, half the time they're using talking points
00:07:26.720
Like the idea that terrorists could just enter your home
