The issue really isn’t foreign ownership, it’s for-profit ownership or bias in the interests of wealthy owners. Do you think investigative reports into the Rogers family would happen on City TV or CTV, both properties owned by Rogers Communications? That’s why we need to protect CBC. It’s not free from bias, but it’s much less biased than most mainstream media sources.
I think CTV owned by Bell? Not sure why Bell would want to cover up something their competition is doing wrong.
Also the CBC exists. It’s owned by the government so you can get your news from there if you’re worried about wealthy owners hiding stuff. CBC Marketplace is all about investigating companies doing shenanigans.
Yeah, you’re right. I got confused about which member of the oligopoly controlled CTV.
As for CBC, I think that was the main point I was making.
