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.

Unpopular opinion but the reporting is accurate, .22 or not its a semi automatic rifle, and the magazine was loaded and found in the driver's pocket. How else would you report it?

It may be "accurate" but it misleads the average reader. The implication is that it was somehow illegal. Nothing in the headline or byline includes anything illegal. Are they going to start reporting every time someone is pulled over with a coffee or with a cell phone in their pocket?
