Legacy media pundits and reporters took to social media to express dismay that a wide range of independent journalists were permitted to ask questions at the French-language federal leaders debate.
In articles published after the debate, some outlets accused independent media of “dominating” the press conferences.
“Right-wing media including Rebel News dominate post-debate news conferences,” wrote CBC News.
The Montreal Gazette seemed perturbed by the fact that alternative voices in the Canadian media landscape “managed” to ask elected officials questions.
“Rebel News, other right-wing media dominate press conferences after French debate,” reads the gazette’s headline.
