Peter Menzies- News media’s dependence on Liberal subsidies cited as sign of democratic decay
There aren’t many traditional places left where Canadians can freely express concerns regarding the inappropriate relationship between media and those who wield power.
Anyone tried to listen to talk shows on corus lately? I wonder what the narrative is, eh!
Libs good!
NDPs great!
Anything ”right” is farrrrr riiiight.
Oh no!!
Government good!
That freedom thing?
– Freedom is overrated.
– The State will take care of you.
– Surrender to the benevolent State.
” …the inappropriate relationship between media and those who wield power.”
How dare you call prostitution inappropriate!
Got a kick out of the Warren Kinsella barf posing as an opinion piece in the Sun on Sunday. He was all in for the mainstream media….protecting it. The article actually proved the point about corrupt media without that mental midget realizing it.
Oh Warren realizes it all right. Given his political beliefs, he’s counting on government controlled media.
There is damn little democracy left to decay.
The direct subsidies are only part of it.
The various levels of government are the biggest buyers of media advertising in Canada.
Which explains the almost non-existent investigative journalism.
