(1,992 posts)A huge percentage of our media is conservative owned and leaning.
And they don't like it when folks tell plain simple truths like this, especially since they've been waging their own campaign against immigrants, trying to scapegoat them for the country's ills and trying to divert attention away from their own constant failings and fiscal mismanagement.
It's why they refuse to stop lying about the Trudeau/Omar thing, where an underage Canadian citizen was in the wrong place at the wrong time due to his relatives and scapegoated/railroaded by the conservative Harper government and used as propaganda to appeal to the racist conservative base.
Harper's actions against Omar were found illegal, which resulted in the $10 million+ court settlement for Omar...which cons have never stopped lying about and claim Trudeau pays off terrorists.
This is the way the game is played here...and those media outlets that have vested interests in keeping up the bullshit that benefits them punish those that speak simple truths like this.
That being said, I'm going to share the shit out of this and fuck over the assholes than tried to silence the artist.
