There is something ironic about the National Post lecturing anyone about media bias, as it did recently with a front-page story titled “A more damaging media bias.” As Marc Edge shows, the opposite is true: the extreme level of ownership concentration in Canada has since resulted in a correspondingly extreme conservative media bias.

NP is trying to whitewash itself. It’s a common (Nazi) tactic: accuse your opponent of that which you are guilty. Even if it’s not true, at least you pull everyone down into the crab bucket and truth dies a little more, which suits you fine.

It’s a little like the Conservatives going on about how no one thinks about “regular Canadians”, as if the party that’s even more in-bed with monied interests than the Liberals gives a shit about regular Canadians.
