Excellent, revealing story from @raisapatel.bsky.social on how the CPC tried to turn committees into social media chum, while attacking expertise when possible. https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/welcome-to-the-torture-chamber-internal-document-offers-window-into-conservatives-strategy-for-parliamentary-committees/article_8ee5de1b-6bf9-4a22-a08d-fd238c2bbf8a.html

I've given my email to multiple newspapers in exchange for a gift story I valued.
Perhaps I wouldn't say it as strongly as Atherton does here, but you realize you're in a journalist's mentions saying you shouldn't even have to give your email address to access his colleague's labour?
My apologies.
Apparently I've become Ferdinand the Bull in midlife, preferring flowers. Heh.
Unfortunately, I tend to forget about the labour put in by journalists, and wrongly just see large media corporations thwarting my effort to see stories, and making information access more difficult. But unfair to journalists indeed.
