Canadaland seems to be going on a weird direction. All these stories of worker antagonism and so many journalists leaving in bad terms, most recently Ling and Pugliese left, Goldsbie on a sabbatical... meanwhile Jan Wong keeping the red scare alive, and then Brown amplifies all this bullshit.
It's a shame that the path to survival for indie media is most often to drift right and never stop going.
I've also gotten the sense of a major schism between Jesse and the employees. I don't keep track of which employee has what views do in not really sure what you mean by Jan Wong's red scare.
I don't think Jesse was amplifying Israel's bullshit, I think he was pushing back against it.
I don't know if it's drifting right or not.
Pushing back against 20% and letting the 80% just flow, that's not really pushing back. And for this interview, 20% is probably too generous... he asked the questions but answers flew by unprovoked. The fact that such an extensive fact check needed to be published after the fact means that he as interviewer was not prepared to push back or he chose not to.
The interview goes like:
JB choses to push back on "yes but your military is saying that it will stain Judaism" instead of "that's genocidal, if you don't stop escalating the only end is genocide". No challenge to the war itself, just the minor points whether Israel is being "unproductive" and inviting antisemitism.
