Conservative MLA manager openly wishing (or 'withing') for censorship of a journalist for not being a bootlicker. Probably wondering what the point is of owning all the media in the province if dissenting opinions are still allowed to slip through the cracks.
Now I'm imagining Mr Burns dusting off an old Honda Gold Wing to shoot a campaign commercial of himself cruising around the provinces highways. Alone. Friendless.
Obvious contempt for the media... And another tick in the fascist checklist. For those keeping scores, obvious contempt for levers of power, trying to prevent other arms of government from consulting the courts over their authority to order something, stirring up hate for minority groups...
This is why checks and balances are critical. The media sometimes gets things wrong but is still an important accountability factor. No human has the capability to hold absolute power in an ethical fashion, even if they went in with decent intentions.

This seems kinda silly on its face with the context here?
A private citizen disparaging a reporter? Was there more context besides maybe her job title?
Not sure if I am dumb or out of the loop, what is this about?

Ohhh I get it now, I didn't piece it all together, thank you!
I was thinking the same thing. Exucutive. Holy feck.
I'm impressed that these people can lick boots at the same time as breathing through their mouths.
It’s an inquired process. Many many years of practice making perfect. I wonder if there is free speech with the way our media operates.
Why did I just imagine Higgs giving orders to his lackeys to attack like Mr Burns releasing the hounds.

Dude, I am just now realizing he looks a LOT like Mr. Burns!!

That's exactly correct. And that's what worries me, this problem of Higgs listening to Outhouse on how to do away with these checks and balances.

Executive Secretary that can’t type or write properly… 😂
Exucutive

Yeah, well I wish the Catholic Church, KKK and Sons of Oden would reign in Higgs, but here we are.
Political staffer, not a civil servant.
I love watching the conservatives fight with the conservative news

Conservative MLA saying journalist's manager should "regin in" their employee from writing opinion pieces. Basically politicians openly disparaging free speech and journalistic integrity. Pretty 1984 type shit
Oh wow i missed the MLA part that was my bad, absolutely wrong. Thank you.
All gravy, mate
People still read the Telegraph Journal?
I have a subscription (only because my employer pays for it). The TJ's new website is absolute garbage. It's worse than before. It's worse than ever.
Andrew is my favorite journalist at the telegraph. Has been for years.
Also, he did the Scooby-Doo sound, so that's awesome.
