Sue-Ann Levy destroys her career in Tweets

Jymn — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 14:27:26 +0000

I’m joking of course. Sue-Ann Levy is employed by Lorrie Goldstein and Sun Media. Nobody gets fired over at that outfit. Ezra Levant regularly has to apologize for his blatant racism and lies. But he still resides on the Sun News Network throne. Let’s face it – the right is a no-pink-slip zone.

Justin Trudeau’s “great hair” – Toronto Sun’s independent thinkers dutifully recite Con talking points

Jymn — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 01:16:14 +0000

Justin Trudeau humiliated Sun Media by knocking the shit out of a Conservative Senator, broadcast live on Sun News Network in front of taunting and eventually stunned TV hosts and an even more stunned Conservative audience.

Justin is the son of the most hated Liberal and one of Canada’s most popular PM’s ever. Sun . . . → Read More: Justin Trudeau’s “great hair” – Toronto Sun’s independent thinkers dutifully recite Con talking points

Postmedia: Don’t cry for us, Canada. We publish creeps like Michael Den Tandt.

I tried to force a tear for Postmedia’s Ottawa bureau cuts but I just can’t bring myself to feel anything for the Conservative media outlet but reserved scorn. Like the Globe & Mail’s consideration of using a paywall, Postmedia is searching in vain for answers to the boogeyman in the room, social media, while . . . → Read More: Postmedia: Don’t cry for us, Canada.

David Akin sent to the showers

Jymn — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:37:20 +0000

Another casualty of the Sun News family has been taken out of the line-up. Akin-fans can at least take some solace in that the former host of ‘Daily Brief’ will continue on the network as occasional guest.

Akin can also console himself in the fact that his reputation will be less sullied now that . . . → Read More: David Akin sent to the showers

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

What Gregor Robertson’s win means to the right wing: “Vancouverites are now raising sheep and growing corn in their backyards”

Jymn — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 07:21:46 +0000

You know how right wingers love to predict the end of the world if a non-conservative is elected? Republican presidential contenders in the States are conjuring death panels, rampant socialism if not communism (or is it fascism – the right can’t seem to make up its mind), gay parents raping their adopted . . . → Read More: What Gregor Robertson’s win means to the right wing: “Vancouverites are now raising sheep and growing corn in their backyards”

How can opposition battle Harper’s War Against Information when there’s no battle plan?

HillTimes:

There are an estimated 1,500 communications staffers working in ministers’ offices and departments, including 87 in the PMO and PCO.

Poor Pierre Karl Peladeau. Playing the victim again. Paranoid, too.

Jymn — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:58:02 +0000

Most likely spurred by the facts presented by the CBC about Quebecor’s welfare habit, the media chain’s chief came out firing today against the ‘state broadcaster’. Problem is, Peladeau came off wimpy and whiny, somehow befitting a news chain known for its self victimization and pouting. Not only that, there was a whiff of paranoia when . . . → Read More: Poor Pierre Karl Peladeau. Playing the victim again. Paranoid, too.

Kevin O’Leary under fire for hatchet job on Chris Hedges. Sun Media rides to the rescue

Jymn — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:32:31 +0000

You won’t find the Sun tabloid chain – no stranger to hatchet jobs - siding with the ‘state broadcaster’ often. But when it comes to the Bill O’Reilly attack dog of the CBC, Sun can make an exception.

Another step down the Conservative evolutionary scale. Sun runs homophobic McVety ad. Bonus Shaidle charm offensive.

Jymn — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:42:29 +0000

Conservatives have a very well defined hierarchy of idiocy. The National Post is about midway down the pack, excelling at Disingenuous, Lacks Moral Clarity and Will Do Anything to Further a Conservative Meme. Not to mention the bottom of the pack for Empathy.

Then you have Sun Media. It’s right there in the basement, yellow . . . → Read More: Another step down the Conservative evolutionary scale. Sun runs homophobic McVety ad. Bonus Shaidle charm offensive.

Well, Boys ‘n’ girls, you had to know that was coming. The editors don’t like unions or the working class for that matter. In fact, they sooo despise them, that they appear to want to rename Labour Day–after–get for it–George Brown, a union buster hisself.

Sun Media Frets The Sun Don’t Shine Anymore at The Globe

It really appears to be a preoccupation with Sun Media’s editors today.

If the Globe and Mail were a mere child, rather than just old, venerable and haughty, we’d be tempted to issue an Amber Alert.

The poor soul has gone missing.
