You have failed me, Canadian media.
On April 30 there were over 6,000 protesters in Ottawa Parliament Hill, but all major Canadian newspaper and news websites turned complete blind eyes on the event - like it never happened.
I believe that it will make it to headlines in most of newspaper, if 100 Tibetan went to China embassy in Toronto.
Let see how biased the Canadian media is:
CBC: nothing is mentioned. Maybe the event is TOO SMALL in compare to 100 Tibetans protest in front of China Embassy. I think "biased. Disconnected" is more appropriate for them to replace their “Trusted. Connected”.
Globe and Mail: none. I called to unsubscribe my daily delivery. I told the newspaper was too biased when the lady asked the reason.
Toronto star: yes, a small line in the home page.
Canada.com: None
National Post: None in website. A small paragraph showed in Monday newspaper.
.
What is in common between a Canadian news media and a Chinese news media? The editors draw the line first then find evidence to support your prejudgement. I have been a subscriber of Toronto Star and Globe and Mail in last few years (on and off), this time is really upset me.
All what I can understand from this event, the Canadian news media is not better than a Chinese news media from media – they served for their host, not the public.

That's funny, I found this in all of 3 seconds using Google:
Nothing mentioned by CBC
Canada.com: None
How about this nothing from CP? Canada Press
And yet another "nothing" from National Post (drawn from the nothing in the website) National Post unarticle
Here's a Globe and Mail article that has a wider look than a "rah rah! Go team" demonstration. That was in todays paper. G & M
Nice start.

Wasn't that on the 13th? We even had a link to one of the coverages of it on the front page here.
And as far as I can tell, it's the Canadian public attempting to get the government to do more about China's human rights, so these stories are serving the public.

Oh dear you guys actually rely on mainstream to broadcast what is going on in Tibet?
Mainstream Media is not allowed there...if anyone is really interested either pm me or check out Asian Free Radio.
