The arrest of David Menzies highlights the failure of state-funded media
The piercing silence of the Parliamentary Press Gallery when a journalist was falsely arrested and accused of assaulting an RCMP member of Trudeau's security detail demonstrates just how bought off the mainstream media is.

While the PPG was silent, the CBC circled the wagons, refusing to call David, a working journalist of 39 years, "a journalist," instead referring to him as a personality.

The CBC panellists also accused David of harassment despite clear video evidence to the contrary.

Both Freeland and her staffer were smirking as Menzies was arrested, a strange response to alleged harassment.https://t.co/SbnA41ZsAF pic.twitter.com/UavwQBfLbj
This is what 650 million dollars in media bailouts, 1,3 billion dollars in annual subsidies to the state broadcaster, and a promise of Google cash payments wrung out of the tech giant through the bill C-18 link tax.
DEFUND THE CBC.

The hidden snare of Bill C-18 is the CBC will capture the lion’s share of the online link money instead of private newspapers
Since the CBC is a wing of the federal government, this is now a new tax
