There used to be some conservative media in Canada, e.g. the National Post. But for years they hired woke leftist underminers. Personnel is policy.

When I worked at Sun News I learned that the TV part of TV companies was economically unimportant compared to the cell phone and cable side of the business.

These are all structural issues. But an obvious point is the lack of diversity in the news media. I don\u2019t mean race or sex \u2014 I mean intellectual and class diversity.
