Fewer Canadians trust news media, says in-house CRTC research.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the latest data follow Statistics Canada figures showing journalists are considered less trustworthy than politicians or police.

“Fewer Canadians express trust in news media,” said the CRTC report. “Three in ten (32%) trust the information provided by news media in Canada to be accurate and impartial and are satisfied with the quality of information and analysis offered by Canadian news media (31%).”

  1. I always knew that the CBC had a leftist bias, but was rather surprised that CTV creatively-edited news footage to make it appear that Pierre Poilievre wanted to abolish the national dental plan that the Liberals are implementing. I am now skeptical of CTV news as well. I would suggest that people read the National Post. This publication makes no attempt to hide its right of centre point of view.

  2. Not Surprised. We’ve had almost a decade of Donald Trump screaming “Fake News” and calling media the enemy of the people. Of course, that’s going to affect people’s perception of “news media”. Plus, with biased alternative media, people would rather consume that because it only gives them news they want to hear. It’s funny how those on the right will scrutinize everything the MSM does, which is fair, hold media accountable, but when it comes to having that same scrutiny for outlets with obvious bias like Rebel News, True North, The Counter Signal, they just eat it up without thinking twice.

    • How can the lying, corrupt media not be the enemy of the people?
      Let me guess, you believe what the MSM tells you.
      It’s easy to tell the MSM is lying to you, look for raw footage of events.
      Shouldn’t take long for you to awaken to the BS you have been absorbing.

      Thanks to President Trump, we are aware of the fake news industrial complex.

      • I said hold all media accountable. Hold all politicians accountable. You believe Donald Trump? Shouldn’t you be as critical of him as your are of MSM? I hope you can look in the mirror and honestly say you are? Largest crowds ever? Look at the raw footage! Election was stolen? Look at the evidence. Covid will just go away? Look at the case numbers. Biden will steal you religion? Check your local churches. Mexico will pay for the wall? Check the finances. Yes, doubt MSM, do your own research and hold them accountable but do the same for ALL politicians and independent media. Don’t put a politician on a pedestal and guzzle his glue while pretending it’s ice cream.

        • Who has had bigger crowds than Trump?
          Look at RSBN, they scan the crowds.
          Election was stolen. Yes.
          Covid was an excuse to get people to take vaccines with bad stuff in them.
          Who’s burning the historic churches?
          Mexico will pay one way or another… think tariffs, repatriating auto industry to the US.

          You sound like you watch TV news.

          • Show me proof that Trump had a bigger inauguration crowd than Barack Obama. A claim Trump has made hundreds of times. Also didn’t Trump initiate operation Warp Speed to get people vaccines as quickly as possible? I hope you question him on that. Pretty sure Trump said a thousand times Mexico will pay for it, he didn’t say through tariffs, and if that is what he meant, how are we supposed to know… mind reading? It’s like you’re incapable of holding everybody to the same accountability that you want to hold the mainstream media. I don’t understand this. You think Right Side Broadcasting News doesn’t have a bias…..it’s right in the name! Also you know nothing about how I consume news, because my opinions don’t align with yours, I must guzzle television news? Give your head a shake. Like I said before, question all media, hold all media and politicians accountable. It’s obvious you have your eyes are closed when it comes to certain politicians and media outlets. Why only hold some accountable is my question?

  3. Booby E,
    Up until a year or so ago, CNN had a 270 degree view you could pan of Trump’s inauguration.
    Way more people than at Big Mike’s husband’s inauguration. Trump is correct.

    RSBN was for you to see them pan the crowds at Trump rallies.
    The crowds are huge.

    Trump pushing warp speed is a fair question.
    Did Trump use it to disrupt the evil plans?
    Don’t know the answer.

    I said tariffs. One way or another Mexico will pay.

    MSM = legalized propaganda. Trudeau legalized it in 2019.
    If you know this, why do you watch it?

        • Appreciate you providing a link that doesn’t work as proof. I also didn’t claim it wasn’t a MASSIVE crowd, there were a lot of people there for sure. But Trump claimed more than Obama, that’s what I’m disputing. You couldn’t find a link to the thousands of other photos online? An event that was attending by hundreds of thousands and hundreds of media….but there is no proof it was bigger than Obama’s? Seems suspect. I’d have a lot more respect if people were able to just admit that Trump was wrong or he lied about things. Just admit his crowd wasn’t bigger than Obama’s or that Mexico didn’t pay for the wall but you still support him because of……whatever. It’s the digging in and defending obvious lies that is hard to respect. I’m not saying trust Main Stream Media, I’m calling for people to hold all politicians and ALL MEDIA accountable. Just cause you support somebody doesn’t mean you have to pretend they are perfect and never call out their BS.

          Ed Note:
          Hey Bobby E
          If you followed the instructions of Fake News, he said it takes a while to download. I have checked it out, and that is true. You may have to wait 5 minutes or more…

          Ed:

          .

          • Thanks for the note Ed. I did follow instructions, it legit said it was not available. Plus why wait around 5 minutes for an archived CNN post when we have access to literally thousands of photos and testimonials from the same day. It finally worked and I see it now, it’s a big crowd, never said it wasn’t and the link shows a big crowd. Does it show a bigger crowd than Obama’s? It does not.

    • Rasterman,
      Not too much in the way of puppy dog and kitten, but you can always check out PSR’s ‘Today in Broadcast History’ Lots of birthday’s of stars and personalities is a daily feature.

  4. Booby E,
    The link does work.
    You just don’t want to see evidence that calls out your BS.

    Where’s a link to the big crowd that Big Mike’s husband had?

    Have you heard of the Dunning Krueger Effect?
    You could be the spokesperson for it.

  5. “A cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities”. Maybe you are the one that overestimated your ability to persuade and debate. You said CNN is garbage and that MSM is the enemy of the people and then you try to prove a point by SHARING A LINK TO CNN!!!??? All I’m trying to say is question and scrutinize mainstream media but also do the same when it comes to alternative media an politicians….even politicians you support. If you don’t, you’re being hypocritical. I pointed out that Trump has lied many many times and therefore he should be scrutinized the same as the mainstream media. Accountability for all! I hope you’re able to see things from my perspective, even if you don’t agree with it. Appreciate the chat.

    • The CNN link will be tough for you to refute.
      Click on, download, and look at it.
      It’s on CNN and you refuse to look at it…LMFAO!
      CNN is 100% propaganda – garbage in, garbage out.

      The lying propaganda media tells you Trump lies.
      Trump did win 2020.
      Massive voter fraud.
      Look at California, they just legalized voter fraud. Why would they do that?
      One way or another Mexico will pay.
      His inauguration was bigger than Big Mike’s husband’s inauguration. Go look at it.
      Any other lies you think Trump told?

      I get your happy medium, agree to disagree attitude, but you’re missing reality.
      The MSM is presenting a false reality.

      Glad you have the definition of the Dunning Krueger Effect.
      Now you need a mirror.

    • So tell me why the account this originated from @MazeMoore is reputable? I checked out their feed on X. Lots of other edited videos including one of Trump and Biden having a fake conversation that is very obviously not legit. But we are to believe this 60 minutes footage is real? It may be legit but I highly doubt it cause the person reporting it has no name, no accountability, they don’t follow any kind of code of ethics. Also you keep acting like I am defending Main Stream Media….why? I’ve said multiple times to scrutinize Main Stream Media. But also question alternative media and x accounts like @MazeMoore. Did you research that account at all?

      Here is another video from same account. You still think it’s a reputable source? Again I’m not saying it’s not real, I’m saying this account is not reputable to me so I won’t believe it until I see more proof.

  6. Today’s National Post has good editorial providing Canadian examples of why people distrust the media. I realize that it is difficult to remove all bias, however, it is important that a media outlet make its biases clear so that people know the bias.

  7. I’d like to see somebody jump else jump on her and defend your CNN is propaganda but this CNN link is also irrefutable evidence argument…….I’ll wait. I clearly said I did look at the link and it was a large crowd. It’s not proof it was a bigger crowd that Obama.

    • CNN is propaganda.
      Big Mike’s husband legalized propaganda.
      I think it was in 2012.
      Look it up.

      Did you watch the 60 Minutes clip?
      Where’s your link to Obama’s inauguration?
      Where’s all those Trump lies you were talking about?

      Do you work in the MSM or do you just consume their lies?

  8. Fake News. Your mistrust of MSM is clearly very strong. And no amount of discussion with others will alter your view. So, where do you get your reliable, truthful information from? Other than from the mouth of your ‘supreme leader’.
    And who is Big Mike? I’m sorry, I’m not sure who you’re referring to.
    Also, do you support, believe and agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene’s views?
