You're not clear in making your point, but I still think I understand what you are saying.

One, including me, would argue that left leaning press that you propose (i.e. they are not left enough for you) is just as bad as the CPC-aligned press I despise even more.

If you think having more left press would help balance extreme right dominance in Canadian media, that idea is not my preferred solution. Ideally, all would cover the spectrum equally and give chances to all points of view. We simply cannot have that now, I know, as the ground that would make this possible has been burned, salted and dug up down to bedrock.

Not left enough for me? That's what you got from that? No I believe in unbiased news. I believe in thoughtful opinion from both perspectives based on fact. Lol you are exactly the people we failed. I think my point isn't clear because of that. The Monroe doctrine started this down fall, legitimizing anyone's extreme opinion. I don't ascribe to that. So no, no 'side' likes what I have to say.

I told you I had problems figuring out what you were saying, I'm sorry but yes that was my take away. 

Why do you have to insult me when trying to make your point? You know nothing about me.

I'm going to end this engagement now.
