Algorithm On My Back.

Last weekend I stumbled upon a GStraight piece by Charlie Smith on a group of anti-vaccination folks who are protesting the local media's role in suppressing the rights of them and theirs.

Here's Charlie's lede:
A fairly large crowd, perhaps 250 people, gathered on Saturday (January 8) outside the Global News B.C. building in Burnaby to protest how the media is covering COVID-19 and vaccine mandates...

Anyway, after reading that little bit I bookmarked the thing so that I could come back to read it all later, on Sunday night after the football was done.

And when I did that I learned that leader of the pack appears to have gone off multiple deep-ends at once:
...The host of the event, James Davison, delivered a fiery speech and plenty of commentary between the other speakers...

{snip}

...“Our best bet to avoid them taking it to the next level is to hold them accountable," Davison declared. "That’s our best weapon right now. Because if we can’t succeed legally—if we can’t succeed now, legally—then we are going to be in a civil-war situation. That is a fact.

"That’s where this is leading to because they will round us up," he warned the crowd. "They will put us in an institution, call us whatever they want, demonize us however they want to through these organizations like Global News, CTV, CityNews, News 1130. It’s programming."...

But here's the weird thing...

Upon my return to the site it was impossible to ignore the adverts embedded by the Googleplex for one of those 'edgy' T-shirt companies that make products like this:



Sheesh.

The same day as the protest at Global, Maxime Bernier was stirring the same pot in Montreal. Coincidence.?

Covidiots and their FREEDUMBS.

it did give me a good laugh. who ever this guy is, what a dumby. civil war, etc. sounds so American, they must have exported it here. Quite organized as well. Makes me wonder.

As to freedom, I want the freedom to not get COVID and die

If he doesn't want to get a vaccine, fine, just don't go out and about in public. We don't want to catch this disease. At my age my friends are dying fast enough.

Over a 150K children in the U.S.A. became orphans because their parents died of covid. What a dumby. doesn't like how Global presents the news about covid. Too bad, so sad, its a private corportion. didn't see this guy protesting other news items by global and other media outlets.
He's had his 15 seconds of fame, now its time to shut up.
