Justice with John Carpay Ep. 5
Episode description
The topic is freedom of the press, and host John Carpay, along with producer Kevin Steel, discusses the attempted exclusion of a couple of "right-wing outlets" from Canada's Federal Election Leaders' Debate last year. Even though it ended in a media victory, it's not over yet.
