This CBC story on the UN's global migration pact (See here) Canada to endorse UN migration pact as Conservatives warn of sovereignty risks cbc.ca/news/politics/… is a classic example of media bias in a news story. As you read through it, note the following:
(1) Liberal Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussein's comments in support of the pact are framed in either positive or neutral language. By contrast, Conservative Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer's comments against it are described as "lashing out" at the pact.
(2) Hussen's position is elaborated on in seven paragraphs in the article. Sheer's is given two.
(3) The only national leader quoted in the article is German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in support or the pact. No national leader is quoted against the pact, even though the article states that the US, Australia, Israel, Hungary and Austria oppose it.
(4) All the academic experts quoted in the story support the immigration pact. None are quoted against it.
(5) This is purportedly a news story, not an opinion piece, which is what it should have been.
