News / Politics / Activism Garbage Journalism

Post image

Sent a message and considering emailing the journalist personally. Read the title, read the article, look at the photo. This is the kind of garbage journalism that leaves uninformed Canadians supporting Gun Grab policies. Its not just the CBC.

I mean, I guess it isn’t exactly a good look for us, but “garbage”? The article isn’t misrepresenting anything, as far as I can tell. Dude was being sketchy in a van, police issued a stop, he didn’t stop immediately, then he did, police found ammo on his person then found the rifle in the shitbox.

There is no loaded magazine, just a box of .22LR.

No, it's just weird that they're not taking a photo of the magazine, why would it be the only item in a bag? I've seen oddly large items be put into tamper-proof evidence bags so I doubt it's a size issue, and the comically small box of .22LR is also outside of a bag.
