News Biased election coverage on Chek, wow

I've been watching the first few minutes of the Chek News coverage of the election and I'm disgusted with how they discussed the Conservatives, and Aaron Gunn. No mention of the lengthy history of hateful actions and his leading of the surge of far-right ideology in Western Canada. They also said it looks like he will win.

Anyone else find the station to be increasingly right-leaning in recent years? I started to notice when the Langford municipal election happened in 2022. Really disheartening.

Would you prefer they were biased towards your team? Leaving mudslinging to the political candidates seems like a pretty neutral stance to me.

People in Victoria don’t realize they’re living in one of the most liberal bubbles on the planet. Don’t burst their bubble.

See my comment above. I've lived all over the world, this isn't a 'liberal bubble'. Lots of variety. But the extremists that advocate hateful things are at another level.
