Third Rail with Nick Beaton

On this weeks episode I talk about the horrific hate crime in London On, last week.  It's important to condemn hate crimes, but it's also important to no exaggerate a problem the numbers simply don't support.  I also talk about Brian Williams playing an ad Fox News refused, and Ilhan Omar steps in it again.

On this week's episode I talk about Naomi Osaka.  She's been in the spotlight recently as a beacon for strong women and mental health awareness, but has she really done anything other than throw a tantrum about hating press conferences?  I also talk about Brian Stelter's interview with Jen Psaki.  He asks a question so softball, he should stop pretending he's a journalist.  

On this week's episode I talk about the the recent discovery of a mass grave with 215 Indigenous children at the site of a former residential school.  Everyone is rightly disgusted, so why are people acting as if some people are not, and why did a tweet comparing this to the tragic bus crash with the Humboldt Bronco's go viral?  Why do people feel the need to compare tragedies?  I also talk about anti semitic hate crimes on the rise, but the New York Times still focusing on anti Asian hate crimes while only referencing the shooting that took place in Georgia.  

My guest this week is Aaron Berg.  We talk about Israel/Palestine, Covid, the U.S and Canada, and comedy in general.

On this week's episode I talk about Steven Guilbeault's response to criticisms on his controversial Bill.  Both he and some media institutions seem to be emulating some Trump level tactics.  I also talk about Elon Musk on SNL, and the complicated situation in Israel and Palestine.  

My guest this week is Bryn Pottie.  We talk about Liz Cheney and the Media's desire to make us care about things we just don't care about.

On this week's episode I talk about the 20 year old Tik Tok star who released her private conversation with Matthew Perry.  The two met on the dating app Raza, and she claims celebrities are preying on young women.  Can you really be preyed on when you are the one who is clearly in the driver's seat, and you are a full grown adult?  I also talk about the Democrats losing electoral college votes, and the fact that the media have no idea how to cover shootings.

My guest this week is Alex Wood.  We talk about Bill C10, and how the terms misinformation and hate speech can be manipulated in their interpretations.
