Longtime White House reporters say the result has been an erosion of their independence. They say the increased attention toward pro-#Trump media personalities, who *rarely* [never] challenge the admin’s talking points, has undercut the briefings as a space to relay accurate information to the American public & hold the president to account.

@brenttoderian.bsky.social American pedophiles love #PeePee. Maybe there’s a sordid reason #PierrePoilievre refuses to get security clearance. @cbcnews if you aren’t too busy reporting what “they say “ about #PMMC, perhaps you could look into these things and report back to citizens in a fair and objective manner. Isn’t that the purpose of the #FourthEstate

@jd @cbcnews You’d think media would focus on things like #PP having no security clearance, #PP vetting reporters questions at rallies, #PP aligning himself with #trumpian policies, #PMMC negotiating with European leaders on trade issues, #PMMC promoting #CanadaStrong & #ElbowsUp in relation to US annexation threats, I could name 100 more. The fact you waste time on a “Who would win if the election were today” epitomizes the sad state of our #FourthEstate. https://youtu.be/al9yWA4TUII?si=P8MADpz2twU2Btfc

@mtlgazette This is a wasted space article. Instead of even raising a Vote/Not to vote question, the article should have focussed on the reasons why it is important for every single eligible voter to exercise their right. Our news media used to be respected #FourthEstate that advocated for citizens and positioned political issues accurately, and objectively. Today it has become #FourthEstateFilth, feeding us articles that promote nothing but whatever slant the owners choose.

... conventional weapons.

As in the 1930's, a #fascist movement has been siwing division where there should be unity.

We must never forget, as in any war, the war that's being fought against #Authoritarianism is a #hybrid one.

The #FourthEstate...

@ddmgmgh @CTVNews The first step. However @CTVNews must now reinstate Rachel Gilmore and her segment if they wish to regain any semblance of trust with their audience.#FourthEstate in Canada is morphing into #FourthEstateFilth. It’s bad enough we have #PostMedia an American hedge fund, controlling 2/3 of our media, if there are no consequences, capitulating to purveyors of slanderous attacks like #PP will continue.

@kentenmakto @petergleick The #FourthEstate has morphed into #FourthEstateFilth

@brenttoderian.bsky.social Major media outlets no longer advocate for citizens of Canada nor position political issues accurately. The days of #FourthEstate have morphed into #FourthEstateFilth

@Nonilex #LindellTV (AKA "the My Pillow guy's Youtube channel") is now in the Whitehouse press pool even as the Associated Press is still banned and boy do they ask some hard hitting questions.

@gemelliz Was that reporter a #DanielleSmith stooge? I’d like to know which news media he represents. Anyone know? The fact he claims to be a reporter highlights the sorry condition of our #FourthEstate where clickbait gotcha questions are treated as serious questions. Shame on #CTVNews for even posting this. Canada’s economy is being attacked by our previous closest ally and Canadians are rallying together, #ElbowsUp, to protect our country. And this pathetic excuse of a reporter gets airtime!
