Plus Joy and Lester Holt? Looks like the slide deck of a Power Point presentation at an employment discrimination webinar. Not a good look @msnbc.com Not a good look at all. A betrayal of your loyal audience & a disaster for your network. www.thedailybeast.com/new-msnbc-bl...

The United States just voted against a United Nations resolution condemning Russia for invading Ukraine. The US sided with Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and the Grand Ayatollah of Iran.

Condescending nonsense: “the challenges of conveying complex ideas when you have only a few words to use in a program title or description” The problem isn’t the title - it’s the lack of comprehension that breaking international law by threatening our country isn’t a topic for ‘newsy’ convos.

More show ideas for @ianhanomansing.bsky.social & @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social Is carjacking just an alternative method of public transportation? We talk to a former carjacker who believes vehicle ownership should be more fluid.

I knew voter turn out at the last election was poor but seeing it laid out in the graphic, is shocking. And even more, DF only got 18% of the votes. Fellow Ontarians. Please get out and vote this week! It's important no matter who you vote for. #OnPoli #NoMoreFord #OntarioVotes

This is the thing about CBC: there are many talented & principled journalists who, despite senior management, produce excellent journalism. Feckless “leadership” is running CBC into the ground

Amen to that. I'm appalled that #CrossCountryFuckUp couldn't be bothered to invite a guest or two who actually brought some insight and thoughtfulness Hmm Maybe someone to discuss international law, and that the "51st state" is not a "proposal" but a threat of annexation and unlawful

My main problem with @ianhanomansing.bsky.social as a media person and interviewer is that he refuses to fact check his untruthful guests. He confirmed as much today when he told Kevin O'Leary (net worth, ~$400M) that "I'm not going to challenge you on all the things you're saying." Why, Ian?

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

As head cheerleader for the invasion of Iraq, who better than DAVID FRUM to talk about the handover of Canada, right CBC? @brodiefenlon.bsky.social and @ianhanomansing.bsky.social should be deeply ashamed of this #CrossCountryFuckup 😐

We ALL knew this was going to happen. We called @ianhanomansing.bsky.social and @brodiefenlon.bsky.social out about it, and contacted the CBC directly. And yet, here we are. Cross Canada Checkup is laundering fascism and promoting the illegal invasion of Canada by the USA. #CrossCountryFuckUp

Here’s how to fix this. Just call the show “why are Canadians so pissed off at us, at NPR, at NYT, and anyone else who thinks it’s a fun thought experiment to annex our country?” Then let Canadians call in and tell you why they’re mad. And make the Americans listen. Don’t ever say “51st state.”

Fucking hell. Ian Hanomansing just suggested people should "do fact checking online" after the program. This is journalistic malpractice. I can't. The only thing this broadcast has illuminated, information-wise, is Hanomansing's narcissism. #CrossCountryFuckup

Inviting O'Leary to speak on a serious radio show on this very serious issue is somewhere in between incompetent and treasonous.

This was far worse than I’d imagined. He platformed Kevin O’Leary, refused to challenge his bullshit + then told listeners to do their own fact-checking online. If this is the “same care” used for every show this guy shouldn’t be on the air

There's some crap so thick I shouldn't start without a second cup of coffee. The CBC's ridiculous display this afternoon is one such moment. Here, let's have a conversation about the potential merits of a proposed war crime... .

Is it too late to add Kevin O'Leary? Maybe another to have @ianhanomansing.bsky.social removed from the CBC?

Do you think the Polish national radio broadcaster did a show asking "what do you think of Hitler's comments about Poland becoming part of Germany"? To quote Shoresy give your balls a tug Ian

Takes less than 5min to let CBCs Ombudsman know how you feel about this bit of irresponsible journalism; I did it myself earlier this afternoon. cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman...
