David Menzies is a very smart guy. I'm still not sure, what you have against Rebel News. Would you rather watch Justin funded CBC.....LMAO

At least I know that the CBC isn't torquing up small stories to be major scandals, or making huge errors in reporting without correcting them. Or omitting news. As much as you want to pretend the CBC is a Liberal puppet, explain to me how they were the ones that broke major negative stories about Trudeau? Like We or the recent travel stuff.

And look, David is a really nice guy. He can be creative. But I wouldn't say he's very smart. I mean, he doesn't drool or shit his pants...but he's no rocket surgeon.

I guess you have the secret "real" internet numbers for Rebels views and subscriptions (not to mention the views they get when picked up or interviewed by other outlets like Fox). LOL!

I've never met Menzies in person. Why would I need to? We were talking about his work, which is on the internet for all to see (he also has done quite a bit of Canadian radio on panels or as a guest). I have, however, met a number of reporters for other media outlets. Most of them are pretty dim (as well as corrupt and disingenuous) by comparison.

Rebel's YouTube channel has 1.6M subscribers. However, their videos on average get about 10K views. Sure, they have a few that are in the millions, but they've been around for years. You're right, I don't know how many people subscribe in other ways. But, there is a world of difference between a free YouTube subscription and paying out of pocket (between $8 - $250/year) to get "exclusive" content from Rebel. Ask yourself, seriously, how many people actually subscribe? I'd be willing to bet it was under 10K, and it's probably for people taking the cheaper 80/year subscription). Are they still asking for people to donate money so they can send reporters places?

Then ask yourself this: how serious is Rebel? I mean, do Conservatives think they're important? How many times has the PC leader Scheer, O'Toole, PP) been on the channel for interviews? Sure, they have sound bites taken from other sources, but actual interviews?

Rebel run a range of stories from the most serious to mostly entertainment. It's smart that they run some obvious comedy pieces, in contrast to their competition who just constantly claim we are in the "worst crisis yet". Because of their approach, it's easy to tell when they want to be taken seriously.

Do politicians take them seriously? I think they take the points that Rebel makes seriously (as do other media, who hijack their best stories), but they also simply hope that Rebel and their troublesome journalism will go away, which never happens. A smart politician should realize that the Rebel audience offers up a lot more voter growth potential than giving an interview to the CBC, whose audiences have placed their Liberal Party memberships into a vault and thrown away the key! O'Toole might have won a minority government had he courted the Rebel audience, instead of losing so many of them to the PPC.

Only the convoy crowd takes them seriously.
Otherwise they don't even register.

The reason is you tube, has demonetized rebel news" you tube account. YT, also purposely lowers Rebel news' you tube views, as well!! This is all because google (the owner of YT), is a totally left wing platform.

Your impression of Rebel is very interesting. You think the media "hijacks" stories from them? Doubtful. Rebel does not set the news agenda. No newsroom across Canada is lamenting a supposed scoop by Ezra and crew. And politicians are smart. That's why they avoid Rebel. They know that a strong majority of Canadians think Rebel is cray-cray and extreme. That's why they don't have mainstream advertisers or PC candidates lining up to be guests. They know it is toxic. And I think O'Toole didn't want the group that went to the PPC. And, to be frank, looking at the number of votes PPC candidates got wouldn't have helped the PCs in the vast majority of races.

O'Toole, was a total loser. That's why the conservatives, got rid of him as leader. O'Toole should have been nicer to rebel news, it certainly wouldn't have hurt him.

LOL. Why did the get demonetized? Could it be that Rebel wasn't following Alphabets terms of service? And Alphabet isn't leftist, it's capitalist. If they saw an opportunity to make cash, they would!

No, google thought that rebel, was way too right wing. Google also demonetized conservative Matt Walsh, from you tube. Matt Walsh has 2.41 million you tube subscribers. Google makes 30%, of all you tubers revenue. Google, is sacrificing a lot of money, to follow the Dem left agenda.

For example, you tubers can no longer mention the name Dylan Mulvaney, on you tube, or else they'll be demonetized!!

Ummm...No, he was demonetized because he repeatedly broke YouTube's terms of service and rules. I don't think Google is sacrificing anything. They make money selling ads, right? But here might be a shocker: big named brands don't want anything to do with toxic streamers like Matt Walsh....or Tucker Carlson for that matter. Do you think P&G want's to be associated with some of the racist and misogynistic crap he spews out? I mean, do you see big names sponsoring other controversial streamers/influencers on the left? You seem to think that anyone can say anything on YouTube, and if it gets viewers they should make money. Now, I'm not totally against this point of view, but the reality is YouTube is a private company who can control what content goes on the service.

So, you can blame a "left" agenda. You can think they're leaving money on the table. But the reality is YouTube/Google/Alphabet are concerned about generating ad revenue. If Matt Walsh et al didn't say offensive and racists stuff all the time, and Coke or Apple or GM wanted their ads to roll during his videos, they would LOVE HIM!!!

And, just so we understand what's going on here, this has nothing to do with the US First Amendment. Walsh isn't being punished for what he says by the government. He's being punished because he can't follow the rules.

Now, if you can prove to me that YouTube does this only to right-wing commentators, find me someone on the Left that posts similar stuff and isn't being demonetized.

We'll wait....
