The Canadian Association of Journalists must refrain calling themselves reporters until they clean up their FakeNews

A pot calling the kettle black LOL journalist what's that in Canada

The vast majority of you turds on both sides of the argument are missing the point. They never said journalists. The wording was reporter. I could do a tiny report on my dogs favourite toy, and legitimately say I was a reporter the moment I wrote it down and presented it.

They should resign.

War room reporters are counter-propagandists, countering media propaganda.

Still using the plagairized logo... Smh.... UCPthieves abpoli ableg

Bahaha journalists have moral high ground? Barf me a river. No serious person believes that.

jkenney Then some Cda’s MSM “journalists” without journalism qualifications will cease calling selves or cause to be called journalists, and be unable to join journalist association members. Some self-important big/loud MSM “non journalists” from Ottawa/Toronto! Quid pro quo!

Neither is this twit OntarioNewsNow DougFraud

GOOD. It's wildly inappropriate.

Uh...the CBC is a literal arm of the liberal party, the last election and constant pushing of that party’s agenda is proof of this. I say ignore this ‘journalist’ group and continue working.

A journalist is ANYONE WHO INVESTIGATES AND REPORTS NEWS. Just because they don’t obey Trudorque or bow to the Fake News Jockeys at the CBC (who are mostly NEWS COMPILERS, NOT JOURNALISTS) doesn’t make them any less a journalist. Sick of this Libtard BS.

Please educate the Public. What credentials and evidence should the public ask for to confirm a true journalist (impartial)? Thank you.

CNN employees call themselves journalists. What a joke.

Maybe the bailed out journalists in Canada can 1st explain to us what reporting is. Reporters to them is one who pushes A VIEW that’s aligned with anything they have. media

Reporter = Thumbsucker? Reporter Warroom

Propagandist is a better term

People associated with Canada say Reporters in the 🇨🇦 media ‘war room’ are not Journalists.

Are media in Canada is a disgrace! We can go in line and actually look at documents and get the truth on a myriad of subjects, why is it are media think we are to stupid to do so? Time is near up for fake news, there all haemorrhaging money! Soon you will have no job, why?

'Journalist association'

It never stopped CBC, Rosie Barton, Katie Simpson, etc.

In related news, Canadians think members of media receiving tax dollars in exchange for bias coverage are not reporters.

Funny how this feed unanimously condemns the media. Dur we not as dumb as u thunk.

The press gets zero respect because they are garbage piles of liars. At least albertas war room is honest about what they are doing. The journalists lie and pretend to be telling the truth

Like journalists have any moral authority. They all loe for the left and love the destruction of our economy . GO KENNEY!!!

Just add I was thinking THIS SOUNDS LIKE THAT ASSHAT jkenney and lo and behold

why is he in a factory without safety equipment? the little things matter.. leading by example matters..

I'd like all Canadian media to stop calling themselves journalists

Thank god

Journalisms dead

And exactly what is a “reporter?”

So does that then make their on scene 'reporters' fair game for Antifa types?

Why did actually say something negative or true against the Liberals?

Everyone can tell the truth except the press ..e.a.d.

All the people who work for Canada’s bought out media are not journalists

nor is .jkenney a 'leader' . Nor is he a real Premier.

Because journalists are soooo honorable?

can this apply to CNN too?

Anybody who is on twitter facebook is a reporter or journalist DEFUNDCBC and get a real job is you expect FakeNews to pay for your blogging

Do they report on stuff?

Ironic coming from you self proclaimed 'journalists'

They elected a corrupt mini DT.

Wait, they tried to say they were reporters?

I mean if people that work for huff post or CBC can call themselves reporters......

The elected a corrupt mini DT.

Ya they are.

the gouvernment is killing jobs. almost stopped the oil&gas industries and are running our country into the ground! back in 2002 i had friends in the 'patch' that had nothing but money! big trucks. big houses and big lifestyle! now thanks to our rotten leaders its gone!

If you want to see what real journalism looks like, check out the Jimmy Dore channel on Youtube. He destroys corporate media shills on a daily basis.

News Flash There are no reporters left . But hey Global already knows that. Govt funded propaganda.

WEXIT PLEASE.

End fracking

Neither are you prestitutes

Partisan hacks upset that partisan hacks are calling themselves partisan hacks?

Who gives a fuck what journalists want. They’re not even real people.

Sorry you consider activists in the Star, CBC, CTV, Global News, etc. Journalists. The same ones that dutifully push Liberal Party talking points when ordered to, that hid Trudeau's racist blackface incidents, and hid the failing economy. So who cares what Liberal elitists says.

No way that the Alberta War Room employees are reporters. To be accepted by the MSM as a reporter one has to be diehard Liberal spouting the words and thoughts of the day. Realism and independent thought are strictly forbidden.

Is Alberta under Mr thi regime trying to build a nuclear bomb! Ummmm

Anyone with a blog is a journalist. It’s a pretty low bar these days.

Ironic that the CAJ sits on the panel that decides which news outlets get that sweet government media-fund bailout. I guess the government's investment is paying off.

propagandists

CTV, CBC, Global, Toronto Star do not have reporters or journalists, they have political activists. Look in the mirror.
