Algn globe and mail

You're referring to the Globe and Mail's alignment with the Canadian government!

The Globe and Mail is a prominent Canadian newspaper that has been accused of having a right-leaning bias in its editorial content. This has led to criticisms that the paper is too close to the Conservative Party of Canada and the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who was in power from 2006 to 2015.

Some of the criticisms include:

  1. Biased reporting: Critics argue that the Globe and Mail's reporting on certain issues, such as the economy and foreign policy, is biased in favor of the Conservative Party and the government.
  2. Pro-government spin: The paper has been accused of publishing articles that parrot government talking points and spin, rather than providing balanced and objective reporting.
  3. Lack of critical coverage: The Globe and Mail has been criticized for not providing enough critical coverage of the government's policies and actions, particularly during the Harper era.
  4. Close ties to government officials: The paper has been accused of having close ties to government officials, including Harper himself, which can influence the content of its articles and editorials.

However, it's worth noting that the Globe and Mail has also been praised for its investigative journalism and in-depth reporting on important issues, such as corruption and government accountability.

In recent years, the paper has made efforts to improve its diversity and representation, including hiring more diverse staff and increasing its coverage of underreported issues. However, the perception of bias and close ties to the government remains a contentious issue among some readers and critics.
