Update Farewell University Tour UofT: Young Liberal interviewed "not indentified"

Background Media Bias, cozy relatioship or just lazy?

After the CBC ran into a objectivity problem with using a Mark Sakomoto, a Liberal in the H1N1 lineup did the Toronto Star repeat the same oversight?

Fall out:

The Lib-CBC Mutual Admiration Society

The first ethical lapse was Sakamoto's: He should have told the reporter who he was and declined to do the interview. When I worked in Ottawa -- for the Liberals -- we refused all the time. We weren't impartial players and it would have been dishonest to affect the public debate by pretending we were, so we were instructed to refuse participation even in opinion polls.
Then there is the lapse at the CBC. It seems hard to believe that no one in the production cycle recognized Sakamoto as a former network lawyer and insisted his brief appearance be snipped out. Maybe no one did, but if someone did and did not insist on editing him out, then this is an ethical lapse on par with Sakamoto's.
This incident adds to the impression that the Liberals and the CBC are too cozy with one another, even if it was entirely accidental.

Toronto Star is it reporting the News or offering the Liberal Party unreported ad space?

The U of T grad, who was also a professor at Harvard University before he became federal Liberal leader, faced a few protesters who urged him to go back to Massachusetts.

"Just so you know," he told about 600 people in a packed lecture hall, "I'm not going anywhere, because I'm home."
"We have to persuade you, voter by voter, heart by heart, soul by soul, that this business called politics is worth doing."
It's a process, he said, "about whether we shape the future or the future shapes us."
Romina Siddiqui, 21, a fourth-year economics student, said Ignatieff's appearance was "very inspiring."
"I think he motivates youth to get involved in politics, to try and make a difference for the future of Canada," she said.

Perhaps the Toronto Star reporter should include the student is she belongs to Young Liberals? Must be a coincidence? You decide.
