American media’s cowardice no match for Canadian media’s incompetence
TORONTO – As CBS News under Bari Weiss leads the charge of American media kowtowing to the Trump administration by deleting a story about the torture of migrants , there is one thing they didn’t count on: a Canadian media that is incompetent enough to accidentally run the story anyway.
“Between firing people who criticise Trump or refusing to acknowledge his mental decline, it’s clear that the people at the top of U.S. media are complicit in whitewashing the crimes of the Trump regime,” said media watchdog Kurt Oyj. “By contrast the people in charge of Canadian media are just, like, pretty checked out.”
“And sometimes people who truly don’t care end up doing the right thing. Totally by accident of course.”
The story in question is a searing expose on the abuse suffered by Migrants who were deported to an El Salavadorian prison. It was killed by Weiss at the last minute due to a lack of administration response. This sets a dangerous precedent that Trump officials can kill a story just by refusing to comment. But fortunately a programmer at Global News, which almost exclusively re-airs 60 Minutes and other American shows in lieu of doing any Canadian programming, just ignored the journalism ethics debate altogether and uploaded it to Global’s website.
“The person who did this is either an ardent believer in the fight for an independent media, free of political influence, or just someone kinda bad at their job. Since we’re talking about Canadian media here, I know what I’m betting on,” added Oyj.
In a statement, the heads of news organizations at CTV, CBC and Rogers came out in support of Global’s actions, and said if there are any other ways to stand up to fascism by doing light screw-ups, Canadian media is ready to act.

Ms Weiss's 'once-upon-a-time's' free spirit has abandonned her for the crypto-thrills of sycophancy. But hey what can a poor lass do when banking $150million for a substack paid for by one of Donald's acolyites?

That's an El Salvador problem.
The Canadian media's contribution to promoting antisemitism is NOT satire:

What with Bari Weiss being Jewish, you took quite a far fetching leap.
What does her religion have to do with her kowtowing to Trump? Or with the story I posted?
