“Why is that disquieting? Because scapegoating the media, either collectively or individually, is a classic political tactic to deflect attention away from information that reflects badly on governments or politicians. And scapegoating a single anglophone reporter at an English-language media outlet is deeply unsettling, particularly since francophone columnists have also been strongly critical of the government’s handling of a pandemic that has killed more than 5,700 Quebecers.”
