Interesting how Jesse Brown and Canadaland have embraced the Tories in the last year or so. It’s a free country. They can back whoever they like. I just wonder about all the people who supported Brown and Canadaland because they thought the podcast would do serious media criticism. - ThreadSky

I listened for a while until I realized the balanced content wasn't really balanced.

I gave up on Canada land when Jesse Brown became a one man vendetta against WE charity because they pissed off his boss by succeeding in suing him. He got his boss’ revenge.

I gave up on him and it ages and ages ago. He's been terrible for a good while now. Around when you wrote about him last year, I think I read that he'd lost 9-10% of his supporters and progressives really pushed back against his platforming of Caryma S'ad. He's been awful to Rachel Gilmore too.

Jesse managed to get their factual reporting score lowered on media bias because of his shitty reporting. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/canadaland/ Probably if they knew about the judge's last decision in the WE lawsuit it would be even lower.

Seems like an amateur site.

They did have good journalists working there but they couldn't deal with Jesse Brown's interference news, and by interference they meant messing with facts. The staff published a letter on X and everything. Last year they all walked off and it's just been a Jesse and Noor Azrieh shitshow ever since
