McGrath, major English-language newspapers in Canada are controlled largely by Asper, so we are exposed to his form of censorship. Recently it was announced that editorial content would be controlled centrally in his papers. There is no competition in Calgary except from a tabloid (also right wing) called the Sun. It is the sort of paper sold by sensation, sex and sports (you are familiar with these in England) and is no real alternate choice. Our only decent news is over the internet from the NY Times and the Washington Post, and the BBC newscasts and discussion programs carried on local cable.
Please separate the adverse comments by Guest and myself about Asper's newspapers from comments on the strife in the Middle East, the Philipines and elsewhere.
