The Woke Capture of the Legacy Media (Ft. Tara Henley)

Tara Henley quit the CBC after almost a decade at the state-broadcaster working as a journalist and a radio producer. As she explained in her Substack post back in January, “to work at the CBC in the current climate is to embrace cognitive dissonance and to abandon journalistic integrity.” Following in the recent path of many journalists, Henley abandoned the legacy media to work independently using Substack as her platform of choice.

Tara writes the Lean Out Substack and is the host of the Lean Out podcast.

On the latest episode of The Rupa Subramanya Show, Rupa and Tara discuss the ideological capture of legacy media by woke leftist ideology and the decline in the quality of Canadian journalism. Why did the legacy media fail to cover the Freedom Convoy accurately? Why is trust in media at all-time lows? Where does Canadian journalism go from here?

Rupa and Tara answer those questions and more on the latest episode of the Rupa Subramanya Show.
