“True North and Rebel were denied accreditation, they were told, because they are “actively involved in advocacy.” And of course, that’s true. (In a typically nonsensical flourish, the emails were signed by the chief of the press gallery, but the commission insists it was their decision.) But hang on, says Zinn, what of the Toronto Star? Its mission statement speaks of an “ongoing commitment to investigating and advocating for social and economic justice.”
“We inform, connect, investigate, report and effect change,” it says.”
