I agree with you on many issues but why would we get such a contrast between let's say The Prize just published in Canadian Business and IMO the smear campaign that has been going on in other publications? There is absolutely no comparison in the reporting of the issues.

Just a few points to consider, there are many others

A big issue was made about Bre-X making a deal with the son but hardly anything mentioned about Barrick's previous arrangements with the daughter.

Why would an Australian publication be reporting 2 weeks before the deal the correct information that the deadline was to remove Barrick not to take the gold away from Bre-X?

Why didn't the press check about Bre-X's right to sell their 45%? The press were wrong and that has contributed to the present low price.

And don't forget the smear campaign against Placer Dome when they entered the race for Busang.

What kind of journalism is that?
