That discussion can’t happen without a common ground. When somebody runs around saying “2+2 = 5”, and then accuses anybody who corrects them of being divisive… they are acting in bad faith by purposefully undermining any common ground, which could facilitate the kind of discussion you’re talking about. Think: Why would a conservative politician - whose sole job is to “conserve” the current power dynamic within our country - want to prevent you from finding a common ground with people who want to change that power dynamic?

Conservatives are going to return this Country to its former solid state and I can't wait.

[@gramma677]

Every political viewpoint thinks they know the math and they are correct. It's easy to see the opposition as acting in bad faith, because you are altruistic and intelligent, and any opposition must be the opposite. The importance of a humble reporting of multiple takes on any subject from different sides is knowing that we may not be right, and people should hear as many opinions and takes as possible. The notion that one side is right about everything, now after thousands of years of human civilization, now our view is 2+2=4 and all others are wrong and acting in bad faith. And anything contrary must be subdued because the 'correct' view cannot survive any contest, even from 'bad faith' actors. @@user-qz3yw2eh4g

Furthermore, a journalist is suppose to report facts and be neutral in its reporting. No personal opinion should come through. That means not taking sides when asking questions nor when writing and reporting news stories!!! That is not what we see these days! We see journalists clearly showing the side they are on in their news reports and articles writings. This is the problem. All must review the journalism code.

Love listening to Pierre Poilievre. There are a very few journalists that actually cover stories the public want, or the viewpoint. Bravo to CBC radio for the documentary Transexpress. Finally there are journalists covering a difficult subject without a left only view, that cover concerns the majority has been stressing. Most of us despise CBC. It wasn't always so. You have become mouth pieces for the PMO as Pierre expressed. You fired all the real journalists or they left. Can't wait until the shift of government and all your overpaid pompous jobs get pulled with government funding. You will have to start fresh and build real journalism, not just pander to your master.

Watch the interview with Pierre in Vancouver. The difference between this guy and our clown PM is beyond striking. This guy gets it. Trudeau is a lunch bucket.

[@jamesmcmullen3283]

Pierre Poilievre just gives the media back the same energy that he gets from them. Show topics like this (a radio "documentary"?), wouldn't exist if today's journalists were also giving Trudeau the same grief as they do with anyone, and anything, conservative. The recent media layoffs are merely posturing by another lobby group looking to get more money ("Hey Justin, if you want us to continue being your defender, we need more manpower, because you're really making our job a lot harder lately.)

The shift of the relationship between leaders and the media was possibly affected by the advent of social media but mostly it is a reaction to loaded questions from journalists who are paid off by the PM.

Biased, loaded, presupposed questions all in an attempt to try and get a "gotcha" moment.

@@kanuduh5234 Well i try to keep it simple as Conservatives running away from democratic principles do not seem to comprehend big words or long sentences. Canada needs more actual investigative journalists and we haven’t had a leftwing press since 1978.

I can remember not having a TV as a student and listing to CBC Ideas every night. I loved it. Today, mostly awful and mostly predictable.

Glad to hear this. If they have legitimate researched questions, it should be a breeze for them to answer! Its not combative to expect to answer a question that isnt biased.

[@Albert-zh6ps]

Not quite as conservative damning as I was expecting…are they seeing the writing on the wall? Rats are jumping the sinking ship

[@BloodSweatandTitanium]

Can't wait for him to be the new prime minister. It will be nice to have non biased media cya @cbc ✌🏼

[@davidparrycfi]

This sounds like a discussion between teenagers. If this is the extent of CBC analytical discussions afforded by it's leading-edge journalists and experts, we are in big frigging trouble. I'm pretty sure they don't know who Barbara Frum was!
