Or perhaps CBC didn't cover it because it will draw fire on trudeau's immigration policy?
Like the WINNIPEGFREEPRESS took government $. I cancelled after a few months.Pretty much exactly what I said would happen when this whole shameful thing was proposed by the Liberals.
If you take money from the government, people will be expecting you to be kindly disposed to the government…
Colour me not remotely shocked in the slightest...
One can argue that the Toronto Star (owned by Postmedia, traditionally right-leaning) and CBC are friendly to the LPC. NaPo and the Sun series (both owned by Postmedia) are not.Colour me not remotely shocked in the slightest...
The phenomenon that actually does surprise me is just how many people still believe what the media tells them at face value, despite repeated and clear examples of that same media manipulating or outright lying about things in order to push an agenda.
And government money does buy loyalty. Just look at how favorable the various media outlets were to the Liberal government over the last few years...
Again, fair point that I find myself also agreeing with you on.One can argue that the Toronto Star (owned by Postmedia, traditionally right-leaning) and CBC are friendly to the LPC. NaPo and the Sun series (both owned by Postmedia) are not.
CTV and Global aren’t particularly left or right.
So I wouldn’t 100% agree that the media is LPC-friendly.
In the 2015-18 period, the Liberals were saying alot of the same stuff then as now. Things that are being critically torn apart by the media today, was reported either without much analysis or even enthusiastically (CBC, I am looking you). Cabinet Ministers would get interviewed and they would get noticeably easy treatment compared to CPC Cabinet Ministers only a few years earlier.One can argue that the Toronto Star (owned by Postmedia, traditionally right-leaning) and CBC are friendly to the LPC. NaPo and the Sun series (both owned by Postmedia) are not.

Some heads are going to either explode or will try and find some reason to rationalize this lol.Good God.
Everyone has gone stupid.
You’d think there’s an election in the air or something spiking the water …Good God.

One version I’ve seen is “the CRA list” established for the government media funds.I’m curious what their definition of “Ontario based” will be for purposes of this.
