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.
I wish it were more commonplace to be upfront about possible biases rather than falsely trying to present articles as neutral. Impartiality should be pursued, but bias can’t be completely eliminated. If publications were upfront about their authors’ biases, at least we’d know where they’re coming from.
