Perhaps but the front page on Jan 9 with the egregious headline "Radicalized by Q Anon" about the woman who was killed in the Capitol jan 6, made me check, and every article from that front page had no trace online. Very fishy. Whereas in the past as far as I could tell all the online articles tended to be in the physical paper. Pushing one narrative for offline audience, but online they know there would be comments and more blowback from that audience. Hence duplicitous, and editorial control behind the scenes may still be questionable despite Barbaras success.
Um I think you're both not quite up to date. Conrad still writes there often I'm pretty sure, and Barbara came back a few months ago, with the promise of a more overt commitment to protecting free speech. So they are adapting and bringing the current perspectives to normies, on store shelves and homes, that still makes a difference.
They still carry a sense of legitimacy in the minds of most by virtue of being one of the few physical national papers in Canada, online news outlets tend to lack this.
The void of no other right wing papers here is surprisingly being filled with Epoch Times some places, which is unideal. I believe it wouldn't be hard to enter the market as a physical right wing paper in Canada, especially with populism ascendant. But I believe one would need to make their papers free for many to really pick it up to compete with free internet news.
Post millenial for all its good seems to suffer from often having out of date articles on their frontpage.
Was unable to post screenshot. Click on "A1 Front Page" to see. Noticed and was dissapointed at the physical copy at store today. Expected derision in comments section online, only to perhaps catch on to a shady duplicitous practice.
Life is ladder. Thanks, life should be more the focus than the internet about life.
