I've heard many discussions in Hamilton about starting new papers and media outlets. There is a push to bring the CBC to Hamilton as well. These moves are needed if Hamiltonians are ever going to have proper journalism and news reporting on various issues. Being a part-time writer with a full-time job doesn't allow me to start trekking all over the Hamilton area interviewing people and fact-finding. Thankfully, most of the empty rhetoric we see in Hamilton's "mainstream" media is very flimsy and easy to see through with almost no research or effort - take my "list" article in this issue. That was born out of watching CH Tv and listening to 900CHML. Imagine what could be accomplished with resources and staff who could dig deeper into these issues. Until that happens, we are forced to toss up our breakfast all over the house reading the so-called "real" media and their horrendous spin on everything. Very little journalism exists anywhere in this city. Sad, but true. Jason
