    I don’t follow the different narratives.

    I was under the impression that 99% of all media was owned by evil Conservative Right-Wing conglomerates that have been stretching and bending the truth to deliberately mislead the general public.

    Why would the Conservative political party be against that same media and prevent them from telling their polished, half-truths?

      Media concentration in Canada is a real problem, but the narrative that “99% of media is conservative-owned” is simply false - we have different ownership patterns with varying editorial perspectives.

      The issue isn’t about left vs. right media bias, but about democratic principles: press access is fundamental to accountability, just as proportional representation is fundamental to fair voting. Both are essential democratic pillars that face similar threats from concentrated power that prefers operating without scrutiny.
