In the wake of the death of Alexei Navalny in Russia, many have been quick to point the finger at the far-left for his death. But is there any truth behind these accusations? Or is there something more sinister going on?

00:00:00.000 One of the best real-life examples of putting lipstick on a pig, other than literally just putting lipstick on a pig, has to be giving media subsidies to the Canadian legacy media.
00:00:09.480 These are all low-quality, trashy journalists occupying the corpses of once-respected media outlets 30 years ago, and they're just propped up by the fact that we all have to give them money every year, whether it's the CBC, Toronto Star, Bell Media, all these other outlets or conglomerates get massive amounts of money from taxpayers.
00:00:29.060 And it helps them hide the fact that they're very left-wing partisan journalists who just lie a lot.
00:00:35.260 They have nice TV sets, they all have the branding from a well-respected paper 40 years ago that they are now occupying, and they get to pretend as if just the things that they say have automatic credibility because I write for the Toronto Star, I'm a news presenter for the CBC, I do work for Bell Media.
00:00:52.120 Like, they're horrible at their jobs.
00:00:54.720 And I have three examples today of just how shamelessly they'll just lie and make up stuff in order to sort of move people towards the narrative that they want them to believe.
00:01:03.260 So here's D'Adder Kanda.
00:01:05.440 He's a man who does cartoons for some of the legacy media papers.
00:01:08.680 And he was commenting back to Norman Spencer, who I think was kind of making fun of Trump for basically not even barely mentioning Navalny in his post about Navalny's death and mostly talking about himself.
00:01:19.140 That has nothing to do with what's going on here.
00:01:21.140 But D'Adder Kanda said, pure Polyev said nothing, basically saying pure Polyev ignored Alexei Navalny's murder in Russia.
00:01:28.760 And Norman Spencer got back to him and said, that's not true.
00:01:31.640 Pure Polyev issued a statement almost immediately, which is true.
00:01:34.720 Polyev's team basically put out a statement as soon as it was daylight in Canada.
00:01:39.160 And D'Adder Kanda responds to Norman Spencer by saying, it was a big nothing burger and you know it.
00:01:45.020 To which I said, you lied and you don't even care when caught.
00:01:48.300 And I think that is a perfect example of how so many in the legacy media in Canada operate.
00:01:53.940 They will push something that they know is false.
00:01:55.880 They'll go up to Polyev and say, you're dog whistling to the far right.
00:01:58.380 Or you're taking a page out of Trump's playbook.
00:02:00.460 Or you're trying to push conspiracy theories.
00:02:03.200 And when confronted with their stupid questions saying, do you have anything to actually substantiate that?
00:02:08.740 They get all indignant.
00:02:10.320 They try and run away from their initial question.
00:02:12.520 And then they accuse someone like Polyev of bullying them after.
00:02:15.260 And they do this all over the place.
00:02:16.980 Here are some other examples.
00:02:19.060 Here's, I think, where this stupid narrative was generated from.
00:02:22.880 Bruce Arthur from the Toronto Star.
00:02:25.160 In his posting of his article at the Toronto Star, he said,
00:02:28.120 Pierre Polyev is outraged by everything.
00:02:30.320 Why was he so uncharacteristically and strangely muted at the death of Alexei Navalny?
00:02:36.440 He wasn't.
00:02:37.360 He actually wasn't at all muted.
00:02:39.200 He made a statement that any other world leader or major political figure put out, basically condemning Russia for Alexei Navalny's murder.
00:02:46.600 And yes, it was a murder.
00:02:47.880 It's not because of any sort of NATO shenanigans like some people try and suggest.
00:02:51.940 Alexei Navalny was murdered.
00:02:53.260 Pierre Polyev issued a statement.
00:02:54.900 And now Bruce Arthur, because he can't even operate Google or X, can't even find Polyev's statement.
00:02:59.980 And wrote an entire article that's still up, pretending like Polyev didn't say something about this event.
00:03:07.020 He did.
00:03:08.080 Bruce Arthur just doesn't care.
00:03:09.840 Because Bruce Arthur, in his own mind, is convinced, well, his cartoonish version of Polyev, he's concocted in his mind, wouldn't have put out a statement.
00:03:18.780 So he probably didn't put out a statement.
00:03:21.120 And as stupid as that sounds, that is how so many in the mainstream media, so many left-wing academics actually think.
00:03:29.240 They believe that if they have an impression of you, then it must be true if they make the accusation.
00:03:34.620 If they accuse Polyev of not doing something or dog whistling to the far right because they believe in their cartoonified minds that that's what a Polyev would do or you would do some terrible thing they accuse you of, they just think it's true. 1.00
00:03:47.480 Because how could Bruce Arthur be wrong?
00:03:50.480 How could I be wrong?
00:03:51.960 I'm me.
00:03:53.100 That's legitimately how so many of these people think.
00:03:55.980 I have had so many accusations of bigotry from these sorts of people.
00:03:59.220 I have had them accuse other people of such things.
00:04:01.840 And they've never been able to come up with something about it.
00:04:04.220 And whenever you confront them, it always turns out, well, of course you would say that in response to this accusation.
00:04:11.220 Why don't you just apologize for the made-up social crime that we've accused you of?
00:04:16.020 They're scumbags.
00:04:17.960 They are bullies.
00:04:19.160 But I want to get to my third example here because this one is also quite funny.
00:04:23.080 From Dale Smith, a freelance journalist.
00:04:25.640 I think he's at the Canadian Press.
00:04:27.460 And he's responding to this Leanne Rood post.
00:04:30.340 She is a conservative MP.
00:04:32.240 She said,
00:04:32.780 And because Dale Smith, because he just believes that conservatives are nasty, evil people, he responds to this.
00:05:01.860 And a supposedly objective journalist in the mainstream media says,
00:05:05.700 Once again, the, quote, WF globalists, like, thing, is an anti-Semitic dog whistle.
00:05:12.540 And the conservatives keep using it and acting surprised at the rise of anti-Semitism.
00:05:16.680 Maybe the rise of anti-Semitism is from the liberals, MDP, and the mainstream media giving outsized credibility to anti-Semitic pro-Hamas groups who have been attacking Jewish people in Canada, blocking roads in their neighborhoods, and even climbing over the Jewish hospital in Toronto.
00:05:33.660 No, that's you guys doing that.
00:05:36.400 But because Dale Smith just believes that conservatives are nasty, evil people, if he just says, oh, saying WF globalists is anti-Semitic, that guy truly believes that.
00:05:46.180 He's lying at the same time he believes his own lies.
00:05:49.480 It's kind of a complex dichotomy.
00:05:51.680 But these people will lie.
00:05:52.940 And at the same time that they know that they're lying because they just said something without having any information to back it up, they'll, at the same moment, believe it immediately.
00:06:01.360 Because these people are so narcissistic, they couldn't imagine themselves saying something wrong.
00:06:06.460 So when they just say something with no evidentiary citation in their mind for it, they're like, well, it's true because I said it.
00:06:12.980 And that is why these people suck at their jobs.
00:06:16.160 They just believe everything they say sans a fact check.
00:06:19.500 They only bring out fact checks when they want to disprove a true thing a conservative said.
00:06:23.760 And so they go through the fine print to find one tiny fringe interpretation of what they said that they can debunk.
00:06:30.420 These people are full of garbage and they should be fully defunded.
00:06:33.880 CBC, CTV News, All Media, Toronto Star, all of them should lose their funding.
00:06:39.440 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:06:41.980 Quickly, I'll mention that, hey, I'm Wyatt Claypool.
00:06:44.060 I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:06:46.920 If you live there, check out my website and description below, WyattClaypool.com,
00:06:50.600 or contribute to our legal fund at the National Telegraph, also linked in the description below.
00:06:56.000 We're being sued by a billionaire developer, completely frivolous defamation suit.
00:06:59.940 So any money you can contribute really helps us fight back.
00:07:03.320 We're winning this case, but he's basically just trying to grind us down with bills,
00:07:07.100 knowing that he actually can't win on the facts,
00:07:09.280 which is why he basically submitted no evidence to his claims that we defamed him.
00:07:13.120 Anyways, that should be it for me today.
00:07:15.060 I'll be back later today, probably with a live stream or any other sort of content I think up
00:07:19.520 while I walk around my house.
