| Exagérer avec Bock-CôtéJe veux rassurer tout de suite ceux de mes lecteurs qui souffrent de mathieu- bock-côté-phobie — oui, oui, je sais que vous êtes là : je ne suis pas un admirateur inconditionnel de celui qu’on appelle MBC.

Trois pays qui veulent diriger le monde à leur façon, trois autocraties.

| Quand la crise médiatique croise une crise de civilisationJe suis toujours étonné d’entendre les éclats de voix qui viennent de toutes parts concernant la crise des médias. La crise des médias existait depuis fort longtemps, mais puisque c’était dans des régions où le marché n’était pas suffisant, personne ne voulait la voir. C’était l’un de nos constats après la tournée du Conseil de presse du Québec en 2008.
