BC Media RIGHTWING BIAS

The right wing bias in BCs media is sickening and a clear and present danger to the little democracy we have left when it comes to a fair provincial election for instance. Check out the articles and letters to the editor, rightwing scare tactics and lies, every edition filled with the same tired rightwing apologists, the left and centre almost totally excluded. 

It is not hard to find the reason for this rightwing bias the Vancouver Sun and Province and all their associated local papers are owned by Paul Godfrey of the National Post which is well known for singing the praises of neoconservatism and obviously wants the same rightwing crowd kept in to fleece the Citizens further, so they can pick up another BC Crown corporation for pennies on the dollar at the ongoing corrupt fire sale of all BC assets to the fat cat chosen few, still up for sale Crown Corporation cash cow jewels, like BC Hydro, LCB, to name a couple, you can be sure the LCB will be gone within days of the election if the BC Liberals retain rule. 

Then you have David Black another media magnate who has some of the most rightwing nut-balls in print today in his publications and has a direct interest in returning the BC Liberals to power as they have already pretty well rubber-stamped before any studies or anything resembling an environmental study for his Kitimat vision of the largest gas refinery on earth complete with pipelines, supertankers and cheap asian equipment, how about cheap foreign labour, not to far a stretch when looking at what goes on in the rest of the resource extraction in BC under BC Liberal policy.

PS This letter has been sent to all the papers noted but I have no illusions that it will be printed as none of my letters have been printed since the writ was dropped except some are put on line and the PittMeadowsToday an online paper prints most of my work.
Foreign workers in BC 74,000 and counting. Yes that is thousands.
