Well, hopefully you can continue to provide this type of analysis when others in this community cast doubt on high-quality reporting merely because of the nationality of an outlet's ownership.

While I recall seeing some columnists who seem to have a specific agenda to back certain industries, I think what most people are concerned about is not that breaking reports are done by cartoonishly evil journalists, but that foreign interests have undue influence over editorial decisions. (As I see it, billionaires from our own country are equally as bad and media concentration in general should also be addressed, but it makes sense to have reasonable restrictions on foreign-ownership of media.)

I absolutely agree with everything you just said.

And yet when our PM threatens to slash the CBC's budget by $198m, the same folks hammering those points fail to point out the exact same issue of undue pressure and influence. Why?
