Ever felt let down by the media? You're not alone. In this episode, award-winning journalist Trish Wood sits down with former journalist Rodney Palmer to pull back the curtain on the media's handling of the COVID-19 crisis. Palmer, who presented a chilling account at the National Citizen's Inquiry (NCI), dives deep into how the CBC, a once-trusted news source, faltered during one of the most critical times in recent history.
With both Trish and Rodney having spent years at the CBC, their conversation is both insightful and personal. They discuss how the broadcaster, funded by public money, failed to maintain journalistic integrity, opting instead to push narratives that aligned too closely with public health directives without sufficient scrutiny. The episode doesn’t just stop at critiquing the CBC. It also touches on Elon Musk's eyebrow-raising clash with the BBC, adding another layer to the discussion about media accountability.
Rodney Palmer's insights are eye-opening, revealing the dire consequences of biased reporting and the urgent need for genuine investigative journalism. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever questioned the media's role in shaping public opinion and wants to understand why transparency and accountability are more crucial than ever.
