Brian Lilley of TheRebel.media talks to veteran political insider Ray Heard about the phenomenon of endorsements.

Specifically, while journalists may be leftwing, newspaper owners tend to be more conservative -- and this is reflected in their endorsements of the Conservatives.

Heard says that 80% of Canadian reporters are either socialists or "very liberal liberals." He calls the Globe & Mail's endorsement of the Conservatives (but not PM Harper) "the most bizarre endorsement I've ever read." He explains why they ran that endorsement, offering insights into how Canada's elite really thinks -- and how the important Blue Jays game might impact the election results.
