News companies are always interacting with politicians, always criticizing the government. The logic is to distance as much as possible the monetary help from the government. So you don’t have the appearance of collusion. Media companies themselves want it that way.
i'm not sure if you're trying to back up my point or disagree, but yeah. they're trying to hide the money as much as possible. that's why it's so bad. it is collusion, so if there's no appearance of it that's a problem.
if the government is going to be paying the media to report on them, that needs to happen in the open.
You think a law that forces tech companies to sign deals with Canadian media companies is more problematic than taxation and a check with the country’s flag on it?
I beg to differ. Media companies need as much hands-off from the government as possible.
