Trying to reconcile with myself why I even watch their news at all anymore. It certainly isn't for their reporting of local sports.
I haven't noticed an anti-LRT slant on CKCO. The piece seems to be reporting what happened around a story of interest.
I have found that most, if not all of their stories pertaining to LRT have had a negative, we-told-you-so spin to them. Even when the first LRV arrived their focus was more on the lateness of the arrival rather than being about the good news of it, or even remaining neutral (which is what news reporting should be trying to do).
I note much more positivity/neutrality in LRT related stories on the local CBC news site than I do from either CKCO on-air news or the local CTV news site.
As an LRT supporter I am of course biased and would prefer a positive slant on the part of local news, but I would be quite satisfied with an objective and neutral approach.
