Democrats and media outlets could learn a lesson from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on how outlets like Fox "news," OANN, and Newsmax ought to be treated here in the United States.

Democrats and media outlets could learn a lesson from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on how Fox "news" and a few others such as OANN and Newsmax ought to be treated here in the United States. This moment from Thursday night’s federal election leaders debate went viral after Trudeau was asked a question by Rebel News, who were only allowed to participate after a judge ruled in their favor and gave them accreditation for the debate.

During a scrum following the Wednesday night French-language leaders debate, Trudeau was asked by a Rebel News rep whether he thinks the federal government should be allowed to determine who is and isn’t a journalist, essentially asking why they weren’t invited to cover the event and had to go to the federal court to get media accreditation.

Then Trudeau, looking and sounding like a stern father, told it like it is:

“The reality is, organizations—organizations like yours—that continue to spread misinformation and disinformation on the science around vaccines … is part of why we’re seeing such unfortunate anger and lack of understanding of basic science,” he said. “Frankly your—I won’t call it a media organization—your group of individuals need to take accountability for some of the polarization that we’re seeing in this country.”

“I salute all extraordinary hard-working journalists who put science and facts at the heart of what they do and ask me tough questions every day, but make sure that they are educating and informing Canadians from a broad range of perspectives—which is the last thing that you guys do,” he said.

Justin Trudeau is going viral again this week for the way he answered a question asked by a representative of Canadian right-wing website Rebel News.

The prime minister essentially called out the organization—which recently won a federal court case granting them access to the leaders’ debates—for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and other issues. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, meanwhile, straight up refused to answer their questions altogether.

Now, if you’ve never heard of the far-right digital publication also known as Rebel Media before, congratulations, you seem to be doing quite well in life. Good choices so far. And I’m almost sorry to have to make the introduction. Seriously, if you’re going to visit their site, do it in a private browser.

That was perfect. He called them out and was an inch away from accusing them of aiding in murder.
