Free ideas for the taking

A site I'll be watching closely: the Canadian Cynic and Robert McClelland ridicule Media Bias.

While this is a great step to make sure that the right doesn't get too much of an advantage out of working the refs, I'd love to see two additions to Canada's media-watching landscape: first a Canadian equivalent to Media Matters, and second a genuinely neutral site/study (I've mooted the name "equalparties.ca") to impartially examine the amount, tone and placement of coverage given to Canada's federal political parties. My suspicion is that the latter would show that the Lib/Con false dichotomy gets an inordinate amount of attention, but I'd be glad to be proven wrong if the data says so.
