And yet this ‘narrative picking’ is exactly what main stream media has done with both the Covington High School story and the ‘reporting’ on the Rittenhouse case in the US and the trucker’s protest in Canada. In the US both were complete fictions widely spread and both required court cases to bring the facts to light. No such correction has occurred in Canada so the narrative still rules.
So I don’t see this issue of substituting a narrative and then creating alternative ‘facts’ to substantiate these fictions as part of the free speech issue per se; rather, I see people who try to engage in ‘free speech relying on facts’ to be under systemic attack across the political spectrum.
