The North State
Who Watches the Newsmen? (Trailer)
It's been a dark year for Canadian news media. Legacy news has failed to show the full story, hold politicians to account or, in some cases, even cover important stories. Certain podcasts purporting to criticize the state of journalism have abdicated any and all responsibility. Join independent journalist and the writer behind The Catch, Scott Martin, as he cuts through the news noise.

One Year of October: The Parliament
01:10:35|In the second part of this three part series, Scott discusses how Canada aligns with Israel in both its foundational structures and how our Liberal government materially supports their genocide. Journalists Alex Cosh and Justin Brake have both, in their unique ways, confronted the Canadian government about their support for Israel. Alex has been reporting on arms exports for the better part of this past year for The Maple. Justin, Editor-in-Chief for Newfoundland's The Independent, mainly focuses on provincial issues. But when he had a chance to confront Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about his government's support of Israel's genocide, he took it. Two different approaches but very similar results.Sources and Further Reading Available athttps://readthecatch.ca/one-year-of-october-the-parliament-the-north-state-podcastFollow Scott on Socials:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/youcaughtscott.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/youcaughtscott/Twitter: https://x.com/YouCaughtScottMusic:"Blue Sizzle" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)"Long Note Three" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/One Year of October: The Press
01:14:10|It’s been one full year since Oct. 7 and the world will never be the same. In the first part of this three part series, Scott details how Western news media, and the Canadian news media specifically, has distorted coverage of Israel’s crimes in Gaza. Interviewing journalists Emma Paling and Samira Mohyeddin, The North State shows how their reporting and experiences reveal the deep anti-Palestinian bias at the heart of the news industry.Sources and Further Reading Available at https://readthecatch.ca/one-year-of-october-the-press-the-north-state-podcastMusic:"Stay the Course" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)"Bittersweet" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)"Mesmerize" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
