Erica Ifill says when she seeks an expert opinion, she does not talk to white men because her job is to challenge power. She then talked about CBC’s Queen coverage, and noted she was glad the queen died. She also says the media treats black women very poorly.
Oh and her comments on the death of Her late Majesty were not criticized because she is a black woman but rather because they were offensive and disrespectful.
Erica Ifill jumps in, says freelancers have to be on social media & that advice to get off social media doesn’t reflect intersectionality. Also claims tonight’s panels lacks intersectionality, even though the only man on it is Marco Mendocino. The media creates vulnerability.
Marco Mendicino expresses gratitude for journalists like Rachel Gilmore. Says attacks against journalists are racist, myssiginstic, and criminal, and done by people who want to preserve a status quo. Adds that spaces must be kept safe.
Of course he does, she's one of his top presstitutes.
She says a huge problem is the far-right; convoy people, convoy adjacent people, and white supremacists.
Antifa isn’t a threat. BLM isn’t a threat. “Convoy people” are the threat. Imagine expecting objective journalism from such an insane leftist fantasist. I mean, bias is one thing, but she has no grip on reality. #kook
Saba Eitizaz brings up the controversial Toronto Star anti-unvaccinated cover, which she says was a page designers’ choice. Says the original article was taken out of context and the journalist who wrote the story was the subject of abuse.
Imagine publishing this front page [LET THEM DIE] and complaining that the newspaper is the real victim of abuse.
Journalists laugh at you. But they literally hold conferences complaining when people laugh at them. And they call for mean tweets to be banned. (Just your mean tweets, not theirs.)
Just stop for a second. It’s a panel about violence against journalists. But the panelists have faced no violence. David Menzies has (see video below). But they don’t have a word of support for him.
