 AFFLICTING THE COMFORTABLE MEDIA | Thunderbird Magazine
Rebick argues that the corporate-owned media is geared towards Canada’s business elite and does not represent the interests of the majority of Canadians.
Rebick calls the corporate media a "special interest group." On some issues, such as trade, media corporations operate in their own interests by covering trade deals positively in the business pages and downplaying their significance as political issues, she says.
Rebick suggests it should be illegal for any individual or corporation to control as large a segment of the Canadian media as Black did, or as CanWest Global’s Leonard and Izzy Asper do now.
