Which seems odd in that Kay works for Sun Media’s primary competitor, Postmedia.

It’s most likely a coincidence . . . → Read More: Is the National Post working in tandem with Sun News?]]> http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2013/02/23/is-the-national-post-working-in-tandem-with-sun-news/feed/ 4 Johnny Kay And Other Canadian Media Personalities; Your Hypocrisy is Just Stunning! http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2012/08/23/johnny-kay-and-other-canadian-media-personalities-your-hypocrisy-is-just-stunning/ http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2012/08/23/johnny-kay-and-other-canadian-media-personalities-your-hypocrisy-is-just-stunning/#comments Thu, 23 Aug 2012 14:44:09 +0000 ck http://sistersagesmusings.ca/?p=12808 It really is awesome, too. I can’t believe this but after everything I hear from conservative Anglo media as well as what is written on comment boards regarding Pauline Marois and the PQ being Xenophobic (Johnny Kay used “the most Xenophobic” to describe her).  What is more stunning is that Johnny Kay blasts La . . . → Read More: Johnny Kay And Other Canadian Media Personalities; Your Hypocrisy is Just Stunning!]]> http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2012/08/23/johnny-kay-and-other-canadian-media-personalities-your-hypocrisy-is-just-stunning/feed/ 2 Jonathan Kay’s hate speech makes mockery of Canadian journalists http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2012/08/23/jonathan-kays-hate-speech-makes-mockery-of-canadian-journalists/ http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2012/08/23/jonathan-kays-hate-speech-makes-mockery-of-canadian-journalists/#comments Thu, 23 Aug 2012 04:32:08 +0000 Jymn http://sistersagesmusings.ca/?p=12800 This tweet from the National Post scribe says everything you need to know about Canada’s journalists and why the public is running away from them in droves. If this were reversed, say “Makes Arab extremists look as bad as Jews”, the writer would have been fired by now.

Our Liberal media at work.

Sarah Kendzior, in an article appearing in the Atlantic, points out the well-meaning but ultimately dismissive tone some western writers have adopted when writing about the women of Pussy Riot. The writer provides examples of this attitude, interesting enough from writers for the quasi-progressive blogs, Huffington Post and The New Republic.

Between the lines, however, lay a great streak of right-winged opportunism, attacking the man and his party for their beliefs and actions.
