Canada’s beleaguered news media teeters on disaster as two media behemoths prepare to merge. The merger would intensify the concentration of power in the hands of predatory capitalists and imperil unbiased journalism in the country.
Yeah “corporate owned” is intentionally vague and just stirs up confusion IMO.
Canadian media and the general public need to start calling a spade a spade and use words like “monopoly” and “oligopoly” instead.
Toronto Star is a “corporation” that is being bought by PostMedia (another “corporation”), centralizing more of our media landscape and bringing us closer to a “monopoly”.
Wait, when has Canadian News Media outside of public broadcasting not been corpwned?

Par for the course in Canada unfortunately.
