students debating Canadian election.

student one: Rebel news is right wing propaganda.
student two: But other outlets are left wing propaganda.
student one: How do you know?
student two: Because they report left wing interests.
student one: Like what?
student two: Like how bad the right wing is.
student one: Because it’s true.
student two: But the right wing feels the same about the left. You don’t see irony or hypocrisy in your opinion?.
student one: Why?
student two: Because you think right leaning bias unfair, but left bias okay.
student one: But the left is telling the truth.
student two: They both think that.
student one: Well Neil Young isn’t voting right wing.
student two: Because he advocated for Mark Carney?
student one: Compared to Poilievre, yes.
student two: You know Neil Young supported Reagan?
student one: I doubt that very much.
student two: Look it up.
student one: But at least he wrote Southern Man.
student two: So? Are you serious?
student one: You got the weight on your shoulders that’s breaking your back…
student two: That’s a different song, same album.
student one: Same album.
student one: You know he regrets Southern Man being so finger pointing?
student one: What do you mean?
student two: I’m saying to his credit Neil Young had the nerve or guts to try and understand all sides and still consider criticism.
student one: You listen to Fox News?
student two: I might, I might listen to anything and see what I think.
student one: You would really?
student two: You really think CBC, CTV, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star never have bias? That they are always objectively true?
student one: More than Rebel News, yes.
student two: So whatever Fox does or Rebel does you would never consider their view because you’ve decided all they do is lie which is what the right wing thinks of left wing media as well. You think that moves us forward?
student one: Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming.
student two: You don’t know your Neil.
student one: Yes I do. You asked how to move things forward.
student two: He also wrote even Richard Nixon’s got soul.
student one: I doubt that.
student two: Sooner or later it all gets real, walk on.
