Michael Chong's Reform Act is Easy to Hate. So Why Does the Media Love it?
I have a new op-ed on the Canadaland website, where I look at the one-sided coverage of Michael Chong's Reform Act on two of our national political shows, and give some critical commentary on what the one-sidedness of that coverage says about the way in which we're being served by our political media. As one of the few reporters who has looked at Chong's bill from a critical perspective, looking at other coverage has been an interesting exercise.
