In this conversation, Ricochet columnist Andrew Mitrovica suggests that the new Tory Boss is a lot like the old Tory Boss and that, with Andrew Scheer’s elevation to the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada, we can expect to see a continuation of Harper-era policies including soft bigotry and dog-whistle identity politics. Plus, excerpts and analysis on recent pieces from Supriya Dwivedi, Barbara Kay and Michael Taube writing on Andrew Scheer for American conservative media outlet The National Review.

Andrew Mitrovica is tired of America. He’s tired of America’s wars, its guns and of the routine convulsions of violence that cause death and destruction for innocents both domestically and around the world. He’s also exhausted by this year’s Presidential contest, the politically rancid battle for power between the neoliberal establishment candidacy of Democrat Hilary Clinton and the insurgent campaign of a xenophobic, nativist Republican Party waged by human garbage fire Donald J. Trump. In this conversation, the award-winning investigative journalist, and weekly Ricochet columnist, explains why Election Day on November 8th can’t come soon enough.
In a recently published piece at Ricochet, Andrew Mitrovica writes that over-the-top coverage of spending by civil servants and government ministers shows misplaced journalistic priorities. In this conversation, he explains why he believes that Canada’s corporate media ignore the big scandals in favour of tabloid outrage.
Kevin and Stefan talk to Andrew Mitrovica, a journalist from iPolitics.ca as well as 23 years experience in the mainstream media in Canada including the CBC’s fifth estate, CTV’s W5, CTV National News — where he was the network’s chief investigative producer — the Walrus magazine and the Globe and Mail, where he was a member of the newspaper’s investigative unit. Andrew has won numerous national and international awards for his investigative work. Kevin and Andrew discuss the disconnect between the relative threat and coverage in the mainstream media between 'terror' and climate change. More people are killed by sharks than by terrorists each year, and climate change threatens to end human civilization and yet the coverage in the media is almost perfectly reversed from the actual danger. Why? Kevin and Andrew explore... Also, Stefan and Kevin discuss the idea and role of 'hope' in social movements, with specific reference to the COP21 agreement that was just signed into not-law.

This week Andrew Mitrovica, journalist teacher, former CBC Fifth Estate producer and current iPolitics reporter takes a metaphorical hatchet to the rhetoric at the CBC.

Andrew talks about the stories including his own contributions on this weeks show. With journalism as the topic, we discuss the implications brought up by Mr. Mitrovica with co-hosts Kevin Farmer and Stefan Hostetter.
