Political right or political left, at this point it really does'nt matter the Ford boys are toast. Too much shit (dishonest or honest) accumulated around their name. Me thinks to much shit to recover. GB
Huffington Post scathing article on the failed journalism of the Star and Globe
- Thread starter dirk076
- Start date
But Premier Kathleen Wynne said she will intervene in Toronto if necessary. Does that mean she will bring provincial corruption to the City of Toronto as well?
Why dont you try reading worthington last article, its there in his own words that his columns were only meant to provoke. For a guy that made millions off the paper, their "writers" are notoriously underpaid and that's why they rely on a news service to get the majority of what thy print.
I accept your apology.
What does Worthington have to do with a Canadian Press reporter and a reporter for the Huffington Post? There will never be an apology to someone who supports the provincial liberals. There will only be contempt with a tinge of pity for someone with a pathetically low IQ.
Yea....Huffington made lots of money but doesn't share it with the writers who do the work. That deserves the Scrooge Prize.
Actually, the "worst part" is reading the insults thrown around by a guy who doesn't know the difference between "news" and "editorial opinions."
The news stories in the Sun are "fair," in that they present the different perspectives on a story.
You might argue the Sun features certain stories more prominently, based on its readers' interests and the Sun's editorial perspective. But so what? Every newspaper does that.
You must be talking about some other "Sun"....that is the most warped observation I've heard ....but quite comical....keep the jokes coming, moviefan.
Here's a link to the Toronto Sun website: http://www.torontosun.com/
How about you point to a news story that you think is unfair, and explain to us why you think it is unfair.
The headlines say it all...not balanced at all, just mindless rightwing pap....:OUR MAYOR IS A GOOD MAYOR" or "Stench of Liberal cover up hard to ignore". Well, Ford is not a "good" mayor , he is an embarrassment and unfit for any white collar job....and McGuinty has already lost his majority and retired from politics, so obviously the cancellation blunder has already been dealt with.
Headlines are important for the Sun....most of their readers just glance at the headlines on their way to the sports or the sunshine girl, and never read the actual article, so the Sun tries to sell catchy rightwing slogans that totally misrepresent complex and debatable issues.
The "Our mayor is a good mayor" line was a quote (and it is in quotation marks on the Sun's home page) from one of the neighbours of the house where the photo was taken of Ford with the guy who was murdered.
Here's the link to the story: http://www.torontosun.com/2013/06/06/etobicoke-house-linked-to-rob-ford-crack-cocaine-scandal
There's nothing unfair about it.
As for the "Stench of Liberal coverup..." piece, that is an opinion column, not a news story. Opinion columns -- in all newspapers -- are allowed to have a bias. In fact, it's generally expected most political columnists have political viewpoints.
Most Sun readers only read the headline. That is why "OUR MAYOR IS A GOOD MAYOR" is so insidious and perverse. It is a typical example of the Sun's distortion technique.
Sure. "Most" Sun readers who visit the web page never open the links to the stories. And how do you know this? Ah... don't even bother making up an answer.
For those who do open the link, they find the full headline to the story, that says: "Etobicoke house linked to Rob Ford crack cocaine scandal"

Boy, talk about pandering to the mayor.
But look on the bright side, Wigglee. You may not like the Sun and its right-wing editorial position, but at least you don't have to pay for it.
If only those of us who don't like the CBC and its left-wing editorial position could say the same thing.
Did the CBC try and downplay the Liberal sponsorship scandal?....NO. Do Peter Mansbridge or Rex Murphy strike you as "loony leftists"?
It won't matter how many times MF2 is told that he's wrong about the CBC's supposed left wing leanings, he just crawls away and brings it up in another thread. He's deaf in one ear and can't hear in the other.
The fact that the Sun slants right is no secret as you yourself mention above. It was explicitly stated from the very beginning.
NO, the sad thing is that the majority of liberals and leftists actually seem to believe the Star is fair and balanced, and has no left bias at all.
Regardless of your political stand, you should be glad we live in a society where the Sun and Fox news can exist because between them and the rest of the media, lies some actual truth. You at least have the choice to hear both sides, unlike many places in the world.
