Professor of Criminology at Laurier Brantford. Author of the forthcoming book: Corporate Wrongdoing in Canada: A Harms Based Approach with Canadian Scholars Press. Research interests: Media, Copaganda, Corporate Harms and Wrongdoing.
An excellent documentary on investigative journalist Seymour Hersh. Very timely in relation to the ICE murder of Renee Good -- considering many Americans (shockingly!) supported perpetrators implicated in My Lai and torture at Abu Ghraib. On Netflix now.

With Twitter, the medium really is the message — one that should be clearly unacceptable for our elected officials and political leaders.

The corporate playbook in action! Example of corporate media reliance on academics that push narratives that they like. And yet, they want us to believe that "leftists" control the media and that Universities are overrun by Marxists. Lol.

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

This is incredible. It's the opposite of exculpatory. It's now even clearer that the killing was not at all justified, he was in no sense whatsoever in any serious danger, and indeed it looks very much like the shooting was retribution and nothing more.
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

If you had any questions about this shooting, they should be cleared up now. It was murder. Point blank. Period.

A must read.
The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

Yep, as always, JD Vance is completely full of shit. ICE agents do not have categorical or absolute immunity.

Great point. They do this every single time. And the talking heads and pundits continually push false and misleading narratives -- as if there are two sides to the story. It was clearly murder. Let's call it what it was and not sugar coat it.
Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.

JD Vance supports murdering American citizens. He's made that perfectly clear today. If he's willing to defend the murder of Renee Good, he would defend your murder, too.
JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"

"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"

JD Vance is a scumbag! Ask him about January 6th. FFS Was that Far-Left?

Horrible. Disgusting. And they continue to gaslight the American public. It was murder.
Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

The National Post is owned by a right wing American hedge fund. They are the official opposition to all things Canadian.
While US governors and tourism operators cry out about the Canadian boycott, the Post promotes the few quislings who would sell our country out.

This is a great documentary on political and corporate corruption. Unfortunately, most Americans have no understanding of how Supreme Court decisions such as Citizens United 2010 have corrupted American politics and harmed democracy.

Why is the CBC allowing ICE propaganda on their news feed today? Allowing Noem a platform to spread her copaganda and bullshit. I guess they are waiting for her to answer questions on the murder in Minnesota.

I'd love news organizations to get a comment from all the corporations, such as SPOTIFY, that continue running ICE ads on their platforms.

Do they support ICE murdering US citizens?

They still support ICE?
