The New Democrats have achieved the seemingly impossible — they united most of the regular news media behind Ezra Levant. They hoisted Canada’s provocateur-in-chief from the right-wing ramparts to instant national fame.

So, here we are in the mainstream media, which Levant contemptuously calls The Media Party, suddenly defending him despite a fairly widespread opinion among journalists that The Rebel is a propaganda sheet at best.

We do it because there’s a constitutional guarantee of “freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.”

And OK, we also do it, to be honest, because any one of us might be next.

If a government successfully banishes one set of opinions from its dusty hallways, any random reporter or commentator might be expelled, until the government whittles the audience down to a cheering row of correspondents from union newsletters.
