The journalists reporting our election belong to a union registered to lobby for the other side.

Click this link to see the other 21 unions and anti-Harper groups that have registered to lobby in the 2015 federal election.  (From Ezra Levant's The Rebel with a tip of the hat to smalldeadanimals.) Canada has its own Journolists and  The Canadian Media Guild which is registered as a lobbyist and which is busy promoting the CBC this week, describes itself:
"The Canadian Media Guild is a democratic trade union representing 6,000 workers in the Canadian media. Our members work at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Société Radio-Canada (CBC/SRC), The Canadian Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse (AFP), TVO, TFO, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (aptn), ZoomerMedia, Shaw Media and CKOI Radio Gatineau (Québec). We also represent media freelancers."
