I've seen stories popping up recently where Justin Trudeau is being criticized for refusing to engage with Sun Media.
The issue is that Sun Media has allowed people like Levant to run amok. Of course, they're going to play the taunting card. What Levant's tirade demonstrated was that Sun Media is acting as a mouth organ for the PMO.
From the Liberal party's perspective, why would they engage with a group who is so obviously biased, and will no doubt take anything that Trudeau says before their cameras and splice it into something entirely different?
If Sun Media wants Canadians to believe that they are a legitimate media source, they need to take a step back, and rein in the extremists that they are putting in front of the camera. At this point in time, that may well include insisting that Ezra Levant issue a full, public apology ... on air. Otherwise, Canadians, and Trudeau's family in particular, are quite justified in assuming that Sun Media is nothing more than a propaganda organ for Stephen Harper and Conservative Party.
Canadians deserve better from our news media than Ezra Levant's childish tirades.
