Viva Fei, a lawyer and popular freedom vlogger in Canada, recently shared a tweet that showed how the mainstream media in Canada is filtering the news and putting its pro-Trudeau spin on it.

In the tweet (right), CTV News complained that independent news people were basically ignoring the mainstream media and reporting the facts ‘w/o a filter’ and letting people come to their own conclusions.

Imagine thinking that sharing information “w/o a filter” is a bug, and not a feature. 😂 Screenshot for posterity, because if I were @ctvw5, I would definitely have the urge to delete this tweet and reformulate in a less embarrassing and self-incriminating manner. https://t.co/viK8nZWOm5 pic.twitter.com/pcTVakkldD

CTV was particularly concerned about Rumble, a growing free speech video platform that started in Canada but recently decided to move its headquarters to Florida. I wonder why? READ: BREAKING: Rumble moves headquarters to the free state of Florida

He who pays the piper calls the tune

Of course, the mainstream media in Canada receives massive bailouts from the Trudeau government, and we can’t forget that old saying, “he who pays the piper, calls the tune.”

Blacklock’s Reporter had this to say about the Trudeau government’s $595 million bailouts of the mainstream media:

[Canada’s] Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier will have direct control over which newsrooms receive $595 million in subsidies under a federal press bailout, says the Canada Revenue Agency. Media seeking subsidies must answer rebuttals from anyone they criticize, including Canada Revenue agents: “I am pleased to deliver.”
