Does Canadian media have a love affair with PM Carney?

About this episode

The episode discusses the relationship between Canadian media and Prime Minister Carney, questioning media practices and the impact of online harm.

One year since the election, Full Press asks whether mainstream media is giving Prime Minister Carney a free ride in the name of Canadian national unity. The panel also questions a Canadian media union’s pleas for government protection from online harm, and calls out veteran media personalities for debasing themselves in the hope of reaching young audiences.
