Open Letter to Ottawa Morning (spoiler: it’s a thank-you)
Despite Ontario Today‘s biased coverage of the election, not all shows on CBC radio are excluding the Greens. Ottawa Morning has been doing a good job, making sure to include the Greens in their coverage (at least the coverage that I’ve heard). To prove I’m not just a hater, I showed them a little love in the following letter:
Dear sir/madam,
I was pleased to hear you include the Green Party’s position in your piece on municipal infrastructure this morning. Thank-you for providing fair coverage and putting together a great show. Keep up the good work!
I’m starting to think that I should create a category for open letters. In a tag cloud it would probably dominate everything else, however…
That’s funny. The one time I was stuck in the car at lunch and able to listen to Ontario today, they had GPO leader Frank de Jong in the studio answering questions from callers. Checking the Ontario Today archive, this must have been on September 20th, 2007.
Other aspects of their coverage may be biased, but in this respect at least they afforded the same opportunity to the Greens as they did to the other parties.
