There is a lot of lazy reporting where press releases become articles in the mainstream media without any reference to balance, but this laziness also has many publications simply printing letters to the editor as a way to restore some balance. The more people write, the more likely some of these letters will get printed. My suggestion is to send copies of any letters to your member of parliament. The primary audience of the CRIA misinformation is parliament, so ensuring that parliament is exposed to a "reality check" is important.
