podcast friday

 Rather than recommend a podcast, this week's Podcast Friday will just be an announcement that I've finally cancelled my Canadaland subscription. It's been a long time coming, and I suspected when a flood of their best contributors left, that was the sign I needed. But the kicker was Jesse Brown re-tweeting a lie by the Toronto Sun about something I was an eyewitness to, uncritically, without investigating the claims made.

It's clear that he's alienated the better journalists on the podcast, and that he's auditioning for a job in the right-wing griftosphere. To be fair, there's more money in that than there is in being a real journalist. But it's disappointing and I don't know what to do with my bottle opener now.
