How does a 24 year old with zero business accomplishments make the front page of Report on Business?

With his feet on a boardroom table, no less!

Report on Business is the the biz section of Canada's newspaper of record, regardless of the pretensions of the PostMedia folks. As such, it has more than a little shlepp. 

Alfred Burgesson is featured on the front page of Report on Business because he is Black. There is no other reason. There is nothing in the story to indicate that Alfred has any entrepreneurial experience other than filling out grant applications. But because of his skin tone, the slaves to political correctitude at Thomson-Reuters make this a front pager at Report on Business.

Surely there must be actual Black businessmen and women Report on Business could foreground who have actual business experience.

Fake news even more fake than we thought

If you get your news from the Globe and Mail, CBC, BBC, or the major US platforms, you will never see this story.

The UK government has been contracting news organizations and NGOs to influence public opinion in Russia and other "adversary" states. That's another way of saying they are hiring propaganda subcontractors. The documents revealed in this story show that Thomson-Reuters, owner of the Globe and Mail, and one of the biggest media/data/information conglomerates in the world, are hot to trot in bidding for these contracts.

In other words, our "free press" is literally prostituting itself to government agencies for money, all in the name of fanning the flames of anti-Russia hysteria.

Here's a great interview with the guy who broke the story.
