Bias in the coverage of some media is tilting the political playing field in Canada and constitutes the “hardest thing” to contend with in political life, says Conservative Party interim leader Candice Bergen.

“I’ve been doing this job now for 14 years and I can tell you the hardest thing that I deal with on a regular basis is the fact that the mainstream media, ... many in Ottawa of the Press Gallery, not all, but many of them—are really just a communications arm of the Liberal Party,” Bergen told The Epoch Times in an interview on May 9.
