You know our motto here at Rebel News. It's telling the other side of the story. Sometimes that means talking about a story that everybody's talking about, but just giving a different perspective. But sometimes that means telling a story that everyone else is afraid to even mention. Afraid for various reasons. It's too difficult to talk about certain things, or, you might be accused of being a bigot or a racist.

That's something that happened in the United Kingdom, over years — in fact, over decades — as a terrible phenomenon took root in that country. A phenomenon of 'rape gangs', groups of men who would sexually assault women, night after night after night. To say women is inaccurate — the victims were girls, children. It's child sexual exploitation on a mass scale.

In Episode No. 31 of Miss Understood, in light of the new docuseries Secrets of Playboy, Kat and Nat go down the rabbit hole to unpack the truth about Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner and the recent allegations against him by his ex-girlfriends Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt.

They also provide a brief history of Playboy, its seedy beginnings, and react to Hugh's little black book of revenge porn, which he allegedly used to blackmail housemates into orgies.

Plus, can you spot the signs of a groomer? This week, Kat and Nat provide tools to help people catch these creeps in the act pulling real-world examples from filmmaker Cheryl Nicholas, a woman who created a documentary that chronicles the tactics her teacher used to groom her when she was a teenager.

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen — and the rest of you — in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies.

So, the YMCA in Port Townsend, Washington decided to permanently ban 80-year-old Julie Jaman for hate and discrimination after she expressed concerns about a trans woman in the female changing room. That kicked off duelling protests in the town last Saturday, and Katie Daviscourt has all the details.

And the Quebec provincial election is in full swing, but when it comes to media coverage, one of the parties is not like the others. Which is to say that since the beginning of the campaign, Rebel News has covered events put on by Québec solidaire, the Quebec Liberal Party and the Conservative Party of Quebec. Ah, but when it comes to the party seeking re-election, that would be Francois Legault’s CAQ, Rebel News is media non grata. In fact, Legault has even sic’d the cops on our reporter Alexa Lavoie. But what’s he afraid of? Alexa will try to make sense of it all…

And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I’ll share some of your letters about a

Those are your Rebels, now let’s round ‘em up…

Yet another comedian bouncing back from comedy-club cancellations, Brendan a.k.a. 'Uncle Hack' from hit the Canadian comedian group Danger Cats suffered from an acute case of 'cancel culture' after TikTok videos of some of his stand-up comedy material was criticized on the Chinese social media platform. This resulted in some venues refusing to host their comedy-roast shows, even spawning a few protesters.

'Uncle Hack' joins Andrew Says for the first time to talk about his comedy faux-pas, Joe Biden and the Canadian trucker convoys/border protests that saw an unlikely crossover between Danger Cats and Rebel News' Sheila Gunn Reid and Kian Simone.

Behind the RebelNews+ paywall, Brendan gives his hilarious Jesse Ventura impression that you don't want to miss after he and the host get nostalgic about Woodstock '99.

GUEST HOST: David Menzies

Well, that was one humdinger of an open letter that was published the other day by members of the Media Party. It’s a joint letter, actually, signed by 48 — count ’em, 48 — media organizations and associations. It was sent to the Prime Minister, cabinet ministers, and other political leaders. And the letter “demands action on the growing harassment and abuse of journalists in Canada.”

Oh my, it would seem that the media watchdogs who now exist as lapdogs are in a most disagreeable mood despite being very well taken care of by their kennel master, Justin Trudeau. Then again, I suppose even the tiniest and most domesticated chihuahua might yelp out a bark or two if it’s pissed off, enough?

So how about we dissect this missive, shall we?
