Re: Stories of late. Folks, we have to step our game up here. It’s becoming more clear with time that Winnipeg’s own media machine is scared of Brian Pallister and his incorrigible regime of sychophantic cabal of ‘yes men.’

Story after story of ambiguous reporting, failure to fact check, inability to seek clarification of the routinely proffered cryptic comments by these fools in Manitoba’s P.C caucus. We are in the existential crisis of our lives with extreme extenuating circumstances.

People are scared to go to work yet nobody is asking the hard questions. When did anyone at CBC corner Pallister and implicitly inquire about paid sick leave for Manitoba workers? When was the last time anyone at CBC Manitoba asked Pallister about the provinces’

Epidemiological sources, infectious disease specialist utilization or lack thereof or their apparent lack of data procurement and data sharing with the public? Is all of this stuff so far above your intuitive and investigative repertoires that the issues haven’t even crossed

The minds of even to most capable desktops among you? We’re failing the public here. Case in point. One small example of routine examples that occur daily. In an article today that encompasses one of the foremost important issues bar nun in Manitoba right now; Schools.

Darren’s story about shutting down schools in Winnipeg. “The first advice that we've gotten from our education experts throughout the province is to have our children have a chance to stay in school," he said, adding that remote learning doesn't work well for some students.”

Brian Pallister said. WHAT EDUCATION EXPERTS? WHO? These ambiguous and cryptic comments are made daily by that jackass and zero attempts are made to dig deeper and seek clarification. To ask the tough questions. There are 17,000 teachers in this province who fear

For their safety each and every day. CBC is among the few media sources center/left of the spectrum that 2/3 of Manitobans rely on for information and answers to really tough questions about really tough topics. Has Winnipeg become so small and socially intertwined 12/

That reporters are afraid to step on toes, create waves or ruffle feathers? Why can’t the Rosemary Barton style of take no prisoners of tough reporting not be a shining example of how Manitoba CBC rolls? The constant pussyfooting and soft touch approach isn’t working!

When Pallister or one of his ministers fail to explicitly articulate a comment that is about really important issues affecting the lives of tens of thousands; follow through and ensure they answer to the people. You don’t work for Pallister, Pallister works for you.

Let’s fact check unequivocally. Let’s expand the realm of reporting to include some very ambiguous issues like the aforementioned lack of any evidence of epidemiological support whatsoever behind the scenes to represent our governments decision making process concerning Covid
12/

Let’s continue to hold Pallister’s feet to the fire! Don’t bother private messaging me. I’m so over this governments willful attempts to neglect our educators and their constant attempts to hide behind the cloak of ‘children’s mental health’ to lend credence to decisions

So, given the gravity of the current situation, I trust that in the coming days. There’ll be a follow up story to this story today; to finish what you started to wholly represent the public servants of our province in a time of great fear accordingly.
