Thank you.
The blacklocks.ca, which does a lot of access to information requests, reported this today:
Federal agencies will publish an A-list of newspapers and websites deemed reliable under a multi-million dollar subsidy program, the Department of Finance yesterday told the Senate national finance committee. Subsidies to federally-approved news media invite government meddling in a free press, cautioned one senator.
Reading that, I feel like I have just cracked open a dusty old copy of 1984.
Federal agencies will publish an A-list of newspapers and websites deemed reliable under a multi-million dollar subsidy program.... Subsidies to federally-approved news media....
“Federally approved news media”, the adjectives that load the noun should send shivers down all of our spines. Do you expect you'll be on this A-list?
