Ep. 212 - Meet the New Partisan Press

Published: Dec. 18, 2017, 3:37 a.m.

PressProgress calls itself "Canada\u2019s most shared source for progressive news and information." They get real scoops, using the traditional tools of journalism, like access to information requests, fact-checking and seeking comment from politicians.

PressProgress editor Luke LeBrun and producer/staff writer Luke Savage join us.

**Correction: An earlier version of this episode stated that Stephen Harper said the root cause of terrorism is terrorists. It was in fact Conservative MP Pierre Pollievre. We regret the error.
