Pierre Poilievre is a dangerous man that shouldn't be allowed to have the opportunity to lead our country.

I want to like this person's reporting, but I just can't get over the urge to reach through the screen and push her out of the way so I can actually see what the fuck she's talking about.
Seriously, I get that there's tons of pressure to standout in visual platforms by highlighting yourself in your work, but I'd still like her content even if her face wasn't constantly in it.
Building off this a bit, I think the reason why it bothers me so much isn't just because it's distracting, it also has this unintended toxic effect of tying the value of what someone's saying directly to their appearance. It's exhausting watching new generations of people re-equate truth and beauty again and again in ever more insidious and pervasive ways with new technology.
I get what you’re saying, but it’s where and how people are and consuming misinformation.
Matching that style may be the only way to get some truth through.
Yeah her videos set off major alarm bells in my mind just because of the association of the type of content with this format being used to manipulate people. Even though when I've watched them it has been pretty sensible.
She's manipulating people, you just agree with her. Look at her unhinged crap about /r/canada being Russian. You go look at that subreddit and it's perfectly normal content, just not through and through diehard support for the federal Liberals, pretty fucking far cry from white nationalists in hoods as certain types would imply.
I can't stand this form of content, or the delivery, but it's where audiences are so I'm willing to accept that I'm just old and lame.
