One protip is to provide obviously biased coverage of the war in Gaza and threaten anyone who expresses any sympathy for Palestinians (not Hamas, fuck Hamas) with ostracization and legal actions. It's working a fucking charm for the CBC.

(And fuck PP and his desire to fully defund Canadian Media - the solution to a car with a flat tire isn't to drive it off a fucking cliff)

A solution would be to have a large group of journalists band together and create their own independent media company that they control and produce their own content under their own control and away from private corporations or companies. Then have government support them as much as they support private media companies that literally just control journalists.

Journalists should be free to report on anything, everything and everyone (no matter how powerful or wealthy) in an objective way without threat of any kind .... as soon as that is lost, you know that democracy is next in line to disappear.
