200 Victoria St S | 45 fl | Proposed
#37
The bar is so low for The Record that it's just sad and it seems to get lazier and lazier ever since they shut down the local offices, moved to Toronto and canned virtually all the staff. Just take shit online like free information posted on the cities/region websites, copy + paste WRPS police reports or lurk Reddit posts and regurgitate it in more words. Occasionally, they reach out to someone they find on the internet to set up an interview and that's that. I mean, remember the story about the school girls who were selling lemonade last weekend because their friend got bullied and had her glasses broken? They found that thanks to Reddit. Articles like this? Scraped from the City of Kitchener website. I guess they have like 2 "journalists" like Jeff Outhit who has his NIMBY friends on speed dial when he wants to write a hit piece about development and Luisa D’Amato who gets paid to publish what are basically Facebook blog rants.

I was curious what a subscription costs per year (unsure, since it is just showing me a 1 year long discounted price) and the tagline on the subscription page unironically says: "We don't repeat. We report." Lol...
