So from a journalistic standards point of view it should be well vetted. So it will be interesting if they can find corroboration for the more bat#### crazy elements.
They've fallen off my listening rotation (for no reason other than time), but I'd add that the main beat is media/journalism criticism - therefore Canadaland seems to go to great lengths to have their own poop in a group in terms of journalistic standards.

Which isn't to say they are perfect and have avoided scandal/controversy altogether, but IMO they are refreshingly transparent and I give them the benefit of the doubt (though of course the left-bias is obvious, but it's easy to adjust one's lens for that)
