I agree completely with that statement. Unfortunately these days there is no such thing as fair and impartial journalism. Atleast here in the west the majority of our media isnt just a wing of the federal government like in a lot of the world, CBC being an exception. I think the recent consolidation of many major global media companies has only narrowed the range of views and opinions that we see or hear.
