  Mainstream media has failed (hello CBC, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail) to assure viewers they are receiving reporting that aspires to be balanced and objective.
  
  Look, no kidding, when viewers realize, from everyday observations, the big media outlets are not giving straight goods, they will naturally seek alternative (often dubious) information sources. 
  
  Examples of media bias?
  
  1. Selectively reporting protests. I favour liberal abortion access for Canada, but city drivers know anti-abortion activists hold periodic protests. The media ignore them - yet activists from Black Lives Matter (and various minority/gender groups) get covered all the time. Why so SELECTIVE?
  
  2. The South China Morning Post investigating, YEARS before ANY Canadian journalists, the connection between Vancouver house prices and overseas money.
  
  3. CENSORING away race/ethnicity identities with crime, EMPHASIZING them when good works are done.
  
  Other examples, anyone?
