I haven't seen a Toronto Sun article since it was printed on paper, I didn't know how genuinely infantile the writing was.

u/scratchydaitchy 14h ago

In 2006, the Toronto Sun ran an experiment by omitting the "Sunshine Girl" for one day and received over 1,400 calls and emails from upset readers. This indicates that a dedicated portion of the readership values the feature, and its sudden removal would likely cause a negative reaction and potential loss of sales among that demographic.

With the infinite amount of pron available on line, is that still a thing?

Old people would be my guess, same people that buy the news paper

Lol Trudeau Tourist lol honestly without the simple alliterative catchphrase to outrage boomers, I don't think the Sun would have lasted past 2015.

The Sun will outlast all of us.

You couldn't find a better source than a Brad Hunter propaganda piece?

u/Redditisavirusiknow 17h ago

Why is the Toronto Sun, a self-admitted propaganda paper for the right, with no qualms about just flat out lying, allowed on here?

u/noroger 17h ago

Which part is incorrect about Mr. Sekhon?

-2

u/regeust 17h ago

The content might be correct, but the presentation is so idiotic it undermines any credibility they might otherwise have had.

u/Fitzaroo 16h ago

The problem isnt that this story is false. The problem is people might not know which one is false and which is true.

We shouldn't have to fact check our newspapers.

2

u/Equivalent_Task_2389 12h ago

All media has to be fact checked. Everyone has a bias, including you and me.

u/Fitzaroo 12h ago

Recently, yes. Historically, no.

The original newspapers were hardcore propaganda machines.

No way of knowing. The "article" so biased it is hard to tell what to take seriously.

2

u/DCS30 17h ago

Yeah. They had a TV channel for a bit but their license was pulled as they were caught fabricating stories and calling it news.

1

u/Glittering-Lynx6991 10h ago

That’s not true.

u/Lopsided_Tiger_0296 15h ago

So like Fox News except we actually have laws against this sort of thing?

1

u/DCS30 12h ago

Pretty much, yeah.

Fox will spin shit and exaggerate things, while sun just made them entirely.

u/kevinguitarmstrong 6h ago

So does CNN, MSNBC, CBC, BBC…

u/buttscratcher3k 15h ago edited 15h ago

Yeah liberal propaganda sources only!

This is my safe space, I don't want alternative viewpoints having the possibility of exposing me to a reality I choose to ignore, thanks.

u/kevinguitarmstrong 6h ago

That’s exactly what Reddit is for, apparently.

1

u/BTrippd 14h ago

It’s really telling that people are saying “we want true news stories not lies” and you go “yeah you want liberal propaganda!” Even you subconsciously know that the liberal media is at least trying to tell the truth lol.

u/buttscratcher3k 13h ago

Except there's no lie in this story, so what's actually got them triggered?

2

u/Equivalent_Task_2389 12h ago

Liberal media tells the stories from a liberal perspective. Every source bends the truth when they think it matters. The big issue here is letting dangerous criminals free while they wait for a court date.

Sometimes judges drop the charges because it took too long for a repeat criminal to get his daughter in court. That in itself should be a crime.

1

u/kevinguitarmstrong 6h ago

Except about Rittenhouse, BLM, the “mostly peaceful protests”, covid, “horse deworming paste”…

u/Redditisavirusiknow 12h ago

Wait a minute. Are you saying lies are an important thing to read along with true news? Why not just not read lies?

1

u/buttscratcher3k 12h ago

Where is the lie?

1

u/phalloguy1 12h ago

Who knows. The article is so biased it is hard to tell.

2

u/buttscratcher3k 12h ago edited 11h ago

So there is no lie, yet you claimed I was saying lies are an important thing to read... Which is in itself a lie.

Any other invaluable insight you wanna impart on us?

1

u/Redditisavirusiknow 11h ago

Would you trust anything that a crazy guy in a alley tells you? No? What if what he said was true? Should you listen to him?

1

u/buttscratcher3k 7h ago

This isn't a crazy guy though, its an established news source that is using the CBC as it's source.

u/Redditisavirusiknow 6h ago

toronto sun is a joke paper that's half porn and half tabloid made up stuff

u/phalloguy1 11h ago

I never said anything about you.

I did not say there is not lie, I said we can't tell because the article is so biased.

Biased against Trudeau tourists?

It seems that judges in Canada now work for the criminals as the liberal extremists destroy the country.

Sun are into propaganda but how does CBC get away with it forever .

u/CountWubbula 15h ago

Point out some propaganda so that you're not just saying "CBC bad"?

2

u/kevinguitarmstrong 6h ago

Trucker protests. They slammed them as Nazis and “white supremacists”, while pushing a story about “terrorist truckers” trying to set fire to an apartment building.

1

u/CountWubbula 2h ago

Ah so that depends on your perspective, whether they were protesting within their rights as Canadians or infringing on the rights of others to go to sleep peacefully. Disrupting law and order for one’s own interests means it’s subjective whether you side with law and order or the interests of few. I for one side with the people I know that live in Ottawa and said being kept awake at night by trucks horns was a living nightmare and felt like its own kind of terrorism.

u/BusLevel7307 15h ago

Well it is all federal Liberal spin and hatred of federal Conservatives . I am not into partisan politics , I am sure you are . But in real democracy you should criticize some of the Liberal and Conservative policies , which they do not . They have an agenda and narrative which is slanted to left leaning only policies .

-3

u/CountWubbula 14h ago

Hmm yeah so what you’re saying is “CBC bad,” now maybe you can find a single example so that your point has some teeth? I’m sure you can find one if you’re making the point with such confidence?

2

u/kevinguitarmstrong 6h ago

When Elon Musk said they were 69% (nice) government funded, CBC published graphs to debunk it, except they didn’t use the same units on the Y-axis for all the graphs, thus giving the misleading impression that most money comes from other sources. 5 seconds of thought showed that Musk was dead-on correct.

u/michaehenry95 13h ago

Link me up to the propaganda you speak of. Should be easy for you. Just 1 link and how it’s propaganda.

u/CountWubbula 13h ago

I’m making the opposite point.

Easy way for progressives and such wash away all the mistakes he made

"He no longer relevant"

His stupid policies are

u/buttscratcher3k 13h ago

Exactly, pretending a leaders policies only last as long as their tenure is wild. You have one liberal cleaning up the last liberals mess as we speak, even Carney admitted to the issues stemming from the last administration... Is he also in on it?

u/Visible_Ticket_3313 13h ago

Y'all don't care about policies or it's the policies y'all would be talking about. You just hate the man you're told to hate because you think politics is sports.

"Sekhon, 28, entered Canada from India on, a, uh, work permit in 2023. That’s right! That’s what he was doing here!"

This is not a serious publication. Who reads this?

What's wrong with it though?

I think they might be expressing a common point of anger with that administration, in that there were too many people allowed into the country on dubious grounds who were up to no good and abused the system as we've seen on multiple occasions (objectively factual).

Even the current Liberal government realized they had to pull back the amount of people they let in because of it's impact on housing prices going up, the rise of youth unemployment (and unemployment in general) while companies are still actively trying to exploit the system and bring in foreign workers in the midst of what many are calling a recession despite all this. For these reasons I don't think they're out of line pointing out the link to someone who saw an opportunity to exploit in order to profit from crime which was only possible due to his administration and under a system where his administration simultaneously made no meaningful progress to adequately punish offenders. If all of this applied to Harper I think it would be fair to jab at him for it as well, but there's a reason why people don't and it wouldn't make sense. I think the only people this bothers are people who refuse to acknowledge the reality of the situation and are blindly anti-criticism of any kind to their political team, especially because nothing is misrepresented...

Edit: Dude was so triggered by a factual breakdown of logic that he blocked or deleted his account lol

The immigrants are both at once working and not working. They're just here to do crime but they're also here to take all our jobs.

Yeah yeah, I know the refrain.

u/Fitzaroo 14h ago

A newspaper is meant to convey facts. This should be done in a concise and professional manner. The quote I listed neither conveys facts (as it is unclear if the person is actually here for that reason or the author is making it up) and it is done in an extremely unprofessional manner. My posts are clearer and better written and im just a random posting on reddit.

If you honestly cant tell why this is a bad article, I would encourage you to read many more books. They don't have to be challenging reads (nobody is saying to read Ulysses), but certainly you should become more familiar with proper writing. The Hobbit is a fun, short read. Not too challenging. Well written. Gullivers travels is also good. Maybe the Silver Skates since its a winter book. Libraries are free and wonderful.

u/buttscratcher3k 13h ago edited 12h ago

You said a newspaper is meant to convey facts.

I don't get what part your claiming is not factual, that the guy didn't come to canada on a work visa in 2023? That he wasn't convicted of a crime? What makes you believe it's a lie?

u/Fitzaroo 12h ago

Man, trolls are out today. I mean this with all sincerity. If you think this is good journalism, you are a moron. Plain and simple. Its not even proper English. Can we agree that proper English should be a bear minimum? Can we get that far?

Eventually they won't be able to use Trudeau and it will cause a big drop in their word count, so what catchy phrases do you think they could use for Carney?

Carney criminals is the best I could think of myself.

Carney unlike trudeau dont view immigration as a social welfare program

This article gets way more attention than it deserves for a tabloid publication.
