Publisher Rudyard Griffiths and editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss last night’s leaders’ debate, including how the different leaders performed as well as the debate format itself, which seemed more like a job interview than an actual debate. They also cover the cancellation of the post-debate media scrum due to tensions between independent outlets like Rebel News and mainstream journalists, the growing backlash against the Leaders’ Debate Commission, and what the whole episode tells us about the government’s expansive reach into journalism and elections.
