So that's why liberals throughout the West are furious at Twitter boss Elon Musk after the platform began accurately labeling state media outlets as being paid for by governments, not independently owned and profit-driven entities.

For instance, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's hypocrisy is apparent as his government spends millions promoting digital media literacy, while he appears unable to tolerate a basic label on Twitter that accurately characterizes the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as "government-funded media," The Post Millennial reported on Monday.

"This statement is undoubtedly true, as the CBC receives over $1.2 billion a year in government funds. However, Trudeau was incensed by Twitter's labeling and immediately tried to blame the Conservatives for delegitimizing 'independent media organizations,'" the news site noted further.

"When they're trying to attack a foundational Canadian institution, the fact that he has to run to American billionaires for support to attack Canadians says a lot about Mr. Poilievre and his values," Trudeau said.

"I think it says a lot about the Conservative Party of Canada. They're choosing to constantly attack independent media organizations, journalists who are working hard to keep Canadians informed and support our democracy," he added.

That's a bald-faced lie, same as if he were saying it about National Public Radio in the United States. They are government-funded entities that are extremely partial to leftists and that's why you see only leftists like Trudeau defending them as 'defenders of democracy.'
