Maybe I’m strange but this story doesn’t make sense to me at all. Either someone at the border has a huge case of paranoia, or a prominent independent media journalist made up a story in order to get more notoriety for herself. The report comes from CBC News Vancouver.
There’s a longer version of this report at the CBC News website, but it seems that at the moment, they don’t allow their video to be embedded which is a shame. There’s also the full 14 minutes of interview with Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman at the CBC News website.
Amy Goodman is known as being part of the independent progressive media, which obviously doesn’t agree with a Canadian Conservative government. The guise of concern over Olympic security is just a cover story for an attempt to censor the media. The media has been a favourite right wing bogeyman for years, but in more recent times, the idea of a politicised media has gained a lot of traction. I think it’s time the media got back to basics, reporting facts and truth, rather than seeking to propagate political agendas.
