Dear Editor
Re: How can we save the news?, Burnaby NOW, Opinion, Sept. 16.
I have to respectfully disagree with Jeremy Deutsch’s contention that the news media is always good and unbiased, especially with regards to political parties and politicians. I cite for example the fact that The Province, The Sun, Global BC and CTV Vancouver, are decidedly Liberals biased, provincially, and Conservative federally, since the ideologies of both are basically identical. In other words, businesses and profits first, and people last.
In fact, I would refer to them as Christy Clark’s cheering section, since they do not investigate claims by the B.C. Liberals but instead they simply report the Liberals press releases as gospel. The only media that doesn’t seem to be in the pockets of politicians is CBC News, and newspapers like the Burnaby Now, Epoch Times, and a few others.
