When asked about Pierre Poilievre's confrontation with a Canadian Press reporter, Toronto Star columnist and CBC panellist Chantal Hebert calls Poilievre an “intellectual bully."

@PierrePoilievre The far-left media grasping at (cardboard) straws

Chantal Hebert is a hypocrite and noblesse oblige bully of the highest order. She and her comrades can’t handle opinion that differs from theirs, is well argued and cogent. They’ve actually begun to think that Justin Trudeau actually speaks English. He is incomprehensible. Hebert also blocked me years ago. No idea why. Never interacted w her directly. But she’s from the Bruce Anderson school of public discussion. “I am right. You are beneath me. Begone, peasant.” They’ve ruled their little roost, unchallenged, for way too long.

@PierrePoilievre of course she did because that's what @JustinTrudeau pays them to say.

@PierrePoilievre Cope more, @ChantalHbert

@PierrePoilievre Buried in Tuesday's Fall Economic Update is more subsidies for the media.

Proof positive that journalists do NOT have their finger on pulse of this country. They’re preaching to their choir or what’s left of it bc they have a vested interest in the treatment of MSM by PP. Their influence is shrinking daily esp with selfish uninformed drivel like this. @acoyne @ChantalHbert

@PierrePoilievre Look at all the pursed lips and the nodding. 🤣

What the media personalities don't understand is that we don't like them. Sure, the progressives are usually happy but independents and conservatives are fed up with the blatant bias. The media has been simping for the Liberals and the NDP for decades. When a Conservative government is in place, it's the Trump treatment. Stephen Harper is Nixon. Stephen Harper is a white supremacist. And here we are again. Pierre Poilievre is a bully. We know it'll never change. With few exceptions, the biases in the media are too broadly established to be rooted out. When Pierre Poilievre marches into his new digs as a prime minister of a massive majority, the media will screech. No libel or calumny will be off limits. But we don't care. We look forward to your subsidies being zeroed out and you having to look for work in a coffee shop. "Make mine black, please. Um, this is cold. Make another one, chop chop. Hey, didn't you used to be on TV?" Gonna look forward to that.

@PierrePoilievre You know how to not get "intellectually" bullied? Do your intellectual homework. Be accurate. Know some things. If you're going to ask questions, great, but don't go in trying to produce "gotcha" clickbait. @CBC and the folks at CP just need to be better.

@PierrePoilievre Meaning he was correct
