Or did we play ourselves?

This most recent Conservative leadership race highlighted a number of deficiencies in Canadian media. Namely, why did the guy with virtually no chance of ever becoming\xa0Prime Minister, who skipped debates and ran much of his campaign\xa0from Boston, receive so much more press coverage than the guy who actually won the leadership? Did media just go for the low-hanging fruit, or did we allow ourselves to be manipulated by an expert\xa0huckster?

CBC.ca's Opinion Producer Robyn Urback\xa0has some opinions of her own and joins us for the episode.
