Don't mean to put the tinfoil hat on but darn that's a lot of control on what we see and hear!

Vaudreuil-Dorion, QC | Yeah, and just imagine if they decided to push their own personal view of politics through all their media outlets. |

I find it suspicious that comments on the CBC story are closed after only six comments.
Try and claim fair coverage after that...

Chatham, ON | It is seriously one very bad and complex web that has been woven at this point! |

What is complex about it ?
There is Canwest, CTV Globemedia, Quebecor Media and Rogers.
(One can add Thompson and Transcontinental for print-only media)
Just about every media outlet that is not CBC belongs to one of those. |

This is why it's important to get your news from multiple sources, kids.
Seriously, one of the many (many, many) great things about the internet is that it allows us to have access to so much information and so many different angles. I pull stories from CBC, BBC, AP, Reuters, and Diplo, among others. It all comes up in a handy dandy rss newsticker, so I can keep nice and connected. I haven't picked up an actual newspaper in years, except occasionally to thumb through the flyers in the local rag. Also why net neutrality is such a key issue, but I have a feeling I'm preaching to the choir on that one.
Keep fighting the good fight. |

I don't follow mainstream much anymore but I assume Canada still has media blackouts during elections and trials. Wonder how that is going to work with Twitter around. |
