Some “news” media are just not very honest. I know, *nEewS fLaSh!* Others are downright deceptive.
Here’s the left’s Toronto Star division purposely — I contend nefariously, dishonestly — tying an Ottawa arson suspect to the truckers’ Freedom Convoy even while knowing — and three paragraphs in admitting — there is literally no connection. It’s sort of a case of Jussie Smollett-style “news” reporting:
Here’s the part where they acknowledge one thing had nothing to do with the other. See if you can sort it out even though it was obviously quite confusing for the reporter and editors of the Toronto Star:

The Star wasn’t alone, especially at the time it was happening. CTV “News” fell for it like Jussie Smollet’s biggest fans (Joe Biden and Kamala Harris among them). They made a mockery of themselves.

I do enjoy journalists calling out fellow journalists for their dishonesty, in this case doing it very gingerly, unlike me:
And finally here’s the liberalvision CTV “News” finally tweeting out the actual news after doing some of the worst “news” “reporting” I’ve ever seen in my life, during that Freedom Convoy.
