    The star went private a few years ago, the new owners broke up and then the sole owner fired the head editor.

    I think it’s still Canadian.

      Doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a right wing bias and agenda, though. I haven’t read thd Star in decades, so I don’t know. Just pointing out the (probably) painfully obvious (because I have a tendency to do that).

        From what I remember they were losing a lot of money, so they’ve mostly switched to opinion pieces that are more likely to go viral and drive subscriptions

        No idea of that changed the bias
