Subject: RE: BS: Canada Election
A good example of lack of press neutrality is Mike Duffy. He was obviously biased towards the Cons when a reporter/interviewer and was richly (read with tax payers dollars) rewarded with a senate seat.

From Wiki

"In 2008, a panel of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council ruled that Duffy had violated broadcasting codes and ethics during the 2008 federal election. The panel concluded that Duffy's decision to air 'false starts' of an interview with then-Liberal leader Stephane Dion "was not fair, balanced, or even handed" and that during the same broadcast, Duffy "significantly misrepresented the view of one of the three members of his Panel...Liberal MP Geoff Regan"
