By Frank Moher That the Barrie Advance did the right thing in publishing a story about the PMO peddling dirt on Justin Trudeau: Check. That the PMO once again revealed itself as unethical, contemptuous of the public and, just to add to the bouillabaisse, incompetent: Check. That various publications and journalists will now explain why […]

Flanagan, Porter, Brazeau, et al.: The company Steve keeps
By Alison@Creekside Notable how many of Steve’s patronage peeps are grifters, conmen, or alleged perps. Starting from the left . . . Dr. Arthur Porter, “His Excellency, Ambassador Plenipotentiary, Republic of Sierra Leone,” also Harper-appointed chair of CSIS watchdog SIRC and lead investigator into CSIS’ treatment of Abdelrazik. Money once paid to former Israeli arms trafficker to sell […]
Jill Wiznoski and the small town journalists
By Frank Moher J-Source.ca has a melancholy wrap-up story on the case of Jill Wiznoski and the displeased MP — melancholy because I expect this is the last we’ll hear of a matter that should have received a lot more national press attention than it did. Wiznoski, you will remember, was the reporter fired by […]
Wente apologists dig press in deeper
By David@Sixthestate.net Seriously. This is starting to get absolutely ridiculous. I’m gratified to see the National Post and the Toronto Star jumping on the Margaret Wente plagiarism bandwagon. But there are still people referring to this as though it was an isolated incident, and there are even some professional journalists who have the nerve to […]
Coren vs. Boteach: let’s go to the tape
By Frank Moher A passel of Michael Coren supporters have arrived at backofthebook to defend his “interview” with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on the SUN “News” Network. (I always keep a small pile of ironic quotation marks handy when I write about SUN TV.) You’ll find them milling in the comments section following Rabbi Boteach’s account […]
Rabbi Boteach schools Michael Coren
It would appear that the bush-leaguers at SUN TV are once again abusing their guests. In the wake of some forgettable broadcaster’s pummelling of Margie Gillis, Michael Coren has now taken the opportunity of an interview with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, ostensibly about his new book Kosher Jesus, to . . . well, read on. Rabbi […]
Hinkle, Lilley, Mammoliti: So much Con Klown behaviour to choose from
By Montreal Simon Oh dear. What a dilemma eh? I just created my very own Con Klown Hypocrisy Award. But now I can’t seem to decide who is this week’s winner. So please help me out . Here are the candidates in no particular order: (1) PHILLIP HINKLE, the 64-year old Republican State Representative from […]
Revisited: Sun TV’s Ezra problem
With the Sun News Network lately embarked on a jihad against government funding of the arts, it might be worth remarking: at least when artists are given money, they do what they’re supposed to do with it. On the other hand, we have the example of SNN costume rack Ezra Levant, who, when he shut […]
On Sun TV and Margie Gillis
On June 1, 2011, the Sun News Network broadcast an interview with veteran Canadian dancer and choreographer Margie Gillis (see link below), which quickly turned abusive towards the guest. In a message on his facebook page, Canadian dancer Louis Laberge-Côté, currently a teacher at Nationaltheatre Manheim in Germany, offered this assessment. […]
Harper’s Facebook police
By Montreal Simon Uh oh. Talk about poking our privacy. The bitter nerd Stephen Harper has been caught with his pants down reading our Facebook pages. And looking like a creeper. From The Vancouver Sun: “Prime Minister Stephen Harper is suddenly on the defensive for running a closed and ‘unCanadian’ campaign after two university students […]
