The Council of Canadian Academies argues that fair and balanced reporting creates opposition to policies such as climate change.

A Canadian scientific panel that receives funding from the federal government seemed to assert in a new report last week that the standard journalistic practice of showing two sides to a story is to blame for a rise in media “misinformation.”

Showing two sides to a story, the Council said, leads to “bad actors” who target and “manipulate media outlets by using journalistic norms and standards to amplify misinformation and extremist messaging.”
