Journalism 101

"This mis-framing is made all the more disappointing by the fact that the reporting in this piece is very strong, but obscuring that good journalism is a conceptual framework that is so weak, so full of holes, so lacking in serious, practical understanding of the world that it makes a shocking impression on the reader."

RELATED: The CBC piles on...
"Millions of people living in the United States illegally could be targeted for deportation — including people simply arrested for traffic violations — under a sweeping rewrite of immigration enforcement policies announced Tuesday by the Trump administration."
Run a stop sign... you'll be arrested & deported.

Of course, that's not at all what's happening.

LAST WORD: All Trump, all the time...

...CBC has no time to report on Toronto spree murders
A year after a gang-related shooting outside of a restaurant in Toronto’s Chinatown left two people dead and three others wounded, police have charged a second suspect who they say was the leader of a violent gang originating in Nova Scotia. He is is scheduled to appear in a Toronto court on March 2.
And we're not talking one isolated incident here...
Sparks-McKinnon and Richardson, who are half-brothers and were also charged in the Halloween 2015 murder of Charles Shillingford in downtown Toronto.

Jahmal Richardson and Kyle Sparks-McKinnon, as well as Mitchell Mannette, 20, of Halifax and Denzell Tyresse Walter Desmond, 19, of Halifax were arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with that shooting.
The silence of the BLMs... you can almost smell the journalism.
