Description

Or did we play ourselves? This most recent Conservative leadership race highlighted a number of deficiencies in Canadian media. Namely, why did the guy with virtually no chance of ever becoming Prime Minister, who skipped debates and ran much of his campaign from Boston, receive so much more press coverage than the guy who actually won the leadership? Did media just go for the low-hanging fruit, or did we allow ourselves to be manipulated by an expert huckster? CBC.ca's Opinion Producer Robyn Urback has some opinions of her own and joins us for the episode.Support CANADALAND: https://canadaland.com/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
