These tables seem to put the lie to any Conservative claims of left-wing media bias. It's odd to have separate entries for each of the Sun Media papers, not because their endorsement of the Conservatives is a forgone conclusion (though it is), but because in some cases (see Toronto Sun, Calgary Sun, Winnipeg Sun) the endorsement is the same text save for a few minor edits. The Canwest papers almost all endorse the Conservatives too, but at least they have separate editorials with different lines of reasoning presented.

Excluded on this page so far are individual candidate endorsements. I know papers in Guelph, Milton, Burlington and Oakville only endorsed local candidates (all Conservative, except for the Guelph Mercury who endorsed the Conservative candidate in Wellington-Halton Hills and the Green candidate in Guelph); also the Ottawa Citizen did candidate endorsements for 15 area ridings (mostly Conservative, but some Greens and Liberals there as well).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.33.47.23 (talkcontribs)

There are so many dead links in this section it is completely unverifiable. In addition to that most of the newspapers endorsements come from individual commentators not the newspaper as a whole. Krazytea(talk) 21:48, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
