The role of the press in a democracy was based on it being politically non-partisan. It is the only business protected by the constitution because it is supposed to serve and inform the people as fair arbiters, as an integral part of the checks and balance of the political sphere.
It has transgressed so far from it’s purpose that you can hardly find a non agenda driven unbiased story any more. The Canadian media has long idolized the US media but their copycat tactics have done us great harm.
