The journalistic shittiness of Sheila Gunn Reid.

Yes, that's pretty much an evergreen headline, but Rebel News' Sheila Gunn Reid has quite outdone herself in terms of pure shittiness this time. It opens with Gunn Reid quietly changing the headline on a recent story, without notifying her readers of her earlier hideous misrepresentation. But as always with Rebel News' "Alberta Bureau Chief," it just gets worse.

Via the saved version of Gunn Reid's dishonest swill (which you can read here at the Internet's Wayback Machine, which shows the original inaccurate headline), let's dig a bit deeper into Gunn Reid's appalling silliness. As you can see, the claim is that an "ICU manager" (since downgraded to a "former acute care manager") apparently has issues with vaccination mandates. OK, fair enough ... so why don't we examine those alleged issues and see if they have any merit? In other words, let's not just dismiss the regular crap spewed by Gunn Reid -- let's give her the benefit of the doubt, and fairly and objectively analyze the complaints and see where that takes us. Unsurprisingly, it takes us nowhere.

Let's start off with Sheila's tantalizing reference to a "detailed email," which one assumes we will get to analyze to determine the merit (or total lack thereof) of Debbie's whining:



As one can read at the Wayback Machine copy, "Debbie" apparently has extensive experience in health care:



OK, fine, so let's get down to analyzing those issues. Oh, wait, we need to listen to more of Sheila's blathering about Debbie's accomplishments:



OK, we get it already, there is a massive national conspiracy and yadda yadda yadda so, finally, we're going to hear Debbie's grievances, right? Wrong, as Sheila concludes her piece with more conspirizing and the inevitable fundraising:



Um ... what the fuck? That's it? That's all? Would anyone like to suggest what's missing from the above? Anyone? Anyone? Why, yes ... what's missing is the vaunted "detailed email." Which raises the obvious question -- how in the name of David Menzies' arrest record can you go on and on and tediously on about a health care professional's alleged "detailed email" to the powers that be, then not publish a copy of said email!?!?

Seriously, what sort of sad incompetent publishes an entire article about the objections to vaccine mandates contained in a detailed email, then proceeds to not provide that email to the readers? After wasting several minutes of one's life reading that utterly vacuous article, one realizes it could have been so much shorter, as in:

[Rebel News] A health care professional -- whose qualifications I'm not sure about -- is upset with vaccine passports and wrote a detailed email, which I'm not going to show you.

Send money.

There. Doesn't that read better?

You're welcome.

Given that the Rebel recently characterized a nails and facial spa owner as a health care professional…

Interesting sidebar...any reference to the Lauren Southern/Keean Bexte home movie alleging fraud about residential school stories has been removed from Bexte's site. No surprise - ego and imbecility don't generally lead to stable partnerships.

Southern, McInnes, Spencer, Robinson, Loomer, Milo...demonetized, banned, unpublished, and scrambling desperately to convince a new and even dumber generation of haters that they used to matter. I think the saddest video I've seen in years was Ezra's two part interview with Gavin McInnes, just two aging, desperate has-beens grousing about the good old days and the world's failure to recognize their brilliance.
