The coverage I want to see is exactly this -- that PP doesn't answer questions, is trying to control the narrative with an iron fist. Give him NO positive coverage at all, don't just quote what noises is officially released by the campaign, keep telling people he is not responsive, not transparent.
If he doesn’t allow journalists to do their jobs, the respective media outlets should not give him airtime (if the rules don’t allow that, they should show the CPC logo+ say that he again refused to answer questions on X,Y,Z). No media coverage➡️votes📉 further. He’ll be forced to let journalists in
Because TRYING to report is their mission as news media.
They're stuck between not reporting at all on Poilievre, which is very problematic, and reporting according to his standards, which is also extremely problematic.
As Don said, they could «they should show the CPC logo+ say that he again refused to answer questions on X,Y,Z». It's ridiculous to keep trying to ask them questions if they refuse. Just say what they did today and explain why there is no interview.
This will probably not make the news anywhere except CBC because the oligarch US owned Postmedia controls the message in Canada as well pushing their right wing agenda! This should be yelled from the mountain tops.
Media should stop using the CPC feed, set up their cameras in non-designated areas, unflattering angles for announcements, cut out/mute any questions and responses from the disinformation peddlers he likes so much (e.g. Rebel, Juno/TN) & report on this kind of media treatment every time it happens.
If Poilievre and his minions are so disrespectful of the Canadian journalists, then just shut the door.
Go and find others who will give you respect and answer your own questions not theirs.

This man has no security clearance, acts afraid of any transparency, and as a bonus hates the CBC. All this clearly makes him not fit for any public office in Canada much less the Prime Minister's.
He is the one who accuses the mainstream media of bias. Yet he is the one who picks the outlets who favour & flatter him. To him, journalistic integrity is just something he uses to get clicks
Maple MAGA in full display. If they aren't allowed to ask PP questions, media should be running daily stories about all the ways PP is blocking them from doing their jobs.
Well, then THAT is the story and what should be reported on the news then. Because people need to know what their candidates are up to and this is what the CPC is up to.
What would Dan Rather do? I think he would report the truth and make that the story. So that's what journalists should do.
And then put it on the TV because Poilievre is exceptionally disrespectful, of Canadians and journalists both, and if he were elected PM then that isn't about to get any better.
Is this really surprising to anyone?
Most of their campaign is the same decisive rhetoric, and their strategy is not to be challenged.
They're bent on obscuring policy related to social programs and abortion, and their goal is to drop bombshells like Trump did once they're in power.
