Subhead:The pattern is clear: Carney is willing to engage with media only when he can control the narrative.#
The Independent Press Gallery of Canada (IPG) called out Mark Carney twice last week for excluding independent journalists from campaign events.
During a March 7 event in Milton and Mississauga, journalists from Rebel News, along with independent reporter Caryma Sa’d, were denied access while government-funded media were freely admitted.
“This is the second time in a week that Carney’s campaign has deliberately blocked independent reporters from covering his events,” writes Sheila Gunn Reid, the IPG President.
This troubling trend held on March 4, when journalists from the Western Standard and Rebel News were again denied entry.
“The pattern is clear: Carney is willing to engage with [the] media only when he can control the narrative,” she made clear.
