Big corporate media
During the current economic crisis the news media in Canada continues to rely upon the analysis and advice of the same Bay St. financial pundits whose analysis and advice got us into this mess in the first place. Why do the media think we should trust the same fools who got us into this mess to get us out? We need responsible journalism, not more PR for Bay St. It’s about time the media gave some air time to new voices that aren’t afraid to hold corporate executives’ feet to the fire.
The Harper government has been let off the hook by a tame media in Canada. Just last November the government told us the economic fundamentals were strong and that we’d have budget surpluses for the next four years. In January, just 60 days later, Harper unabashedly announced an economic catastrophe that would deliver unprecedented recession and massive deficits for years. Why isn’t the media holding the Harper Conservative government accountable for its confused and contradictory policy statements on the economy?
Do you think the media in Canada is playing their role responsibly?
