Will Wentegate pull off the covers off the old boys/old girls network in Canadian media?

By Jymn, on September 24th, 2012

Tweet

Canadian publishers convene ‘blogger ethics panel’ – “Something has to be done about these people”

With Colby Cosh breaking the silence of the journalism elite by criticizing and mocking not only Sylvia Stead but also the Globe upper crusts and Margaret Wente herself, will the floodgates now open? Well no, there are probably not enough . . . → Read More: Will Wentegate pull off the covers off the old boys/old girls network in Canadian media?

The myth of the ‘liberal media’ in Canada has finally been put to rest

By Jymn, on September 22nd, 2012

Tweet God rest the myth of the ‘liberal media’

By giving Margaret Wente a pass, the Globe & Mail has at last put to rest the myth of ‘liberal bias’ in Canada’s media. A new era, in hyperbolic terms, has begun. So I say, thank you Sylvia Stead. And thank you, Margaret Wente. I don’t think either . . . → Read More: The myth of the ‘liberal media’ in Canada has finally been put to rest

Sun News Network + Jason Kenney = frothy mixture

By Jymn, on February 2nd, 2012

Tweet

If you ever wanted to combine the worst of Conservatism – that frothy mixture of deceit, barely-veiled racism and amoral opportunism – look no further than the perfect marriage of the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and Fox News North.

Six federal bureaucrats were drafted to pose as new Canadians for a citizenship reaffirmation ceremony broadcast . . . → Read More: Sun News Network + Jason Kenney = frothy mixture

Vancouver Observer: Canada’s right-wing media monopolies move further right

By Jymn, on February 1st, 2012

Tweet

I’ve made the domination of Canada’s right-wing media the centrepiece of this blog. Sometimes I wonder why. Those posts are the least travelled, the least linked of any on this blog. I guess the blogging community has other things to talk about. As for the media, it certainly doesn’t want to spoil its . . . → Read More: Vancouver Observer: Canada’s right-wing media monopolies move further right

Today’s Conservative: afraid of debate, emboldened by a docile media

By Jymn, on January 31st, 2012

Tweet

For the 13th time in nine months, the Conservatives have stifled debate on an issue important to Canadians, especially those approaching old age. “Enthusiastic support”, indeed. When the public is shut out from discussion, of whose support is Van Loan speaking?

Mr. Van Loan made the accusations of delay in spite of . . . → Read More: Today’s Conservative: afraid of debate, emboldened by a docile media

Gerry Nicholls snaps the ball. NCC prez Peter Coleman punts. Hilarity ensues. UPDATED

By Jymn, on January 25th, 2012

Tweet

(Scroll down for scrumptious update.)

Here’s the first assignment for the Globe & Mail’s new Public Editor Sylvia Stead. Explain to non-partisan Canadian citizens why the venerable grey lady is publishing a Conservative loyalist like Gerry Nicholls who regularly spreads his right-wing propaganda in rags like the Sun empire, National Post and the Frum/Worthington Huffington Post Canada?

Stead, tell us . . . → Read More: Gerry Nicholls snaps the ball. NCC prez Peter Coleman punts. Hilarity ensues. UPDATED

Media’s anti-Occupy stance revealed. More than half of Canadians support the movement.

By Jymn, on January 20th, 2012

Tweet By reading 90% of the Canadian media, you’d have thought the people who Occupied cities across Canada and the world were unemployable dirty fucking hippies intent on violence and rape.

Seems a majority of Canadians - and most of the world - still do not share the media’s jaundiced view of the mostly young people who pitched tents . . . → Read More: Media’s anti-Occupy stance revealed. More than half of Canadians support the movement.

Operation Maple takes on Globe & Mail. Number 6 in Gang of Seven.

By Jymn, on January 4th, 2012

Tweet

Operation Maple has been doing a yeoman’s job in pointing out the main pillars of Canada’s Conservative media monopoly. So far OM has grappled with the following behemoths of industry:

Sun Media Corporation Bell Canada Enterprises The Rogers Dynasty Irving Media Shaw Media

And now at number 6, OM tackles . . . → Read More: Operation Maple takes on Globe & Mail. Number 6 in Gang of Seven.

Globe & Mail editors pick Harper majority as story of the year

By Jymn, on December 27th, 2011

Globe editors relax in Florida for prescribed vacay following another Con victory party

To celebrate, Globe editors put aside their crutches and patronizing air to low five each other over cocktails and wienies. No report on the obligatory congratulatory call from Stephen Harper although rumours of an army of nurses in attendance have . . . → Read More: Globe & Mail editors pick Harper majority as story of the year

Tory Taber wanks on for the Conservatives. Again.

By Jymn, on October 24th, 2011

Tweet

Whatever they pay her is not enough.

Jane Taber has made quite a reputation for herself as a hagiographer for women - Conservative women, that is. Today, Taber doubles down on Lisa Raitt whilst adding Rona Ambrose to the mix.

It’s not so much that Taber and the Globe love to exalt Conservatives but it is that Taber does . . . → Read More: Tory Taber wanks on for the Conservatives. Again.
