Mainstream Media Struggling For Fillers...
I am the 20 per cent tipper and I bet you are, too
by Jessica Allen
I’m telling you this to help explain why I’m so flabbergasted over how a Toronto Star story published last week on tipping 20 per cent being “the new normal” still has legs and I won't give it work boots...

But It Increases The Demand For Newspapers And Increases Advertising Revenue...

The Onion launched its first Canadian edition this week — which might sound odd to its legions of Canadian fans, for whom the satirical news outlet has always been an online experience. The inaugural Toronto edition is the first paper version I’ve seen in ages. (Cover story: “Congress takes group of schoolchildren hostage,” holds out for $12-trillion in ransom. “We’re going to shoot one kid an hour, starting with little Dillon here,” Speaker John Boehner warns. “Tick tock.”) The only local content consists of the same sort of entertainment reviews, listings and interviews you’ll find in any alt-weekly. The most obvious difference from the now-paywalled online version, ironically enough, is that it’s free.
The prospect of more Canadian-themed satirical content hasn’t gotten much play. But that’s coming soon, Onion features editor Joe Garden told me in an interview on Wednesday at Toronto’s hipster-appropriate Drake Hotel. In a country where satire often comes labelled as such, that boasts of its ability to laugh at itself far more often than it laughs at itself, this is a delicious — and delicate — proposition.

Inaminate Ethics...
Bid to kill ads a sign oil sands are getting under Saudi regime’s skin
Claudia Cattaneo: Is Saudi Arabia losing its cool over Canada’s growing oil sands? It certainly seems that way, based on its bizarre over-reaction to television commercials that promote 'ethical oil'
...and then we hear
Tim Hortons 'mobbed' by crowds in Dubai
The first Tim Hortons to open in Dubai has seen scores of customers in its first few days of business, according to local reports

Right, Left, Right, Left...
...at least that is what the media wouldd have you believe but the simple fact is that an individual named Loughner pulled the trigger.

Update…Friend says Loughner “did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right.” Over to you, Sheriff Dupnik…

Now That The Hysteria Has Diminished...
Paul Russell: WikiLeaks fail to impress, but medical bribes anger readers
Juicy WikiLeaks revelations dominated the news all week. Most letter writers, however, seemed unimpressed by what they learned.
“John F. Kennedy famously said he learned nothing from the CIA he had not already read in The New York Times,” wrote Raymond Heard. “The WikiLeaks disclosures suggest that nothing has changed in the last half century. All they show us is that diplomats still reflect to their superiors in Foggy Bottom what we already know from the media: Pakistan and North Korea are increasingly dangerous failed nuclear states. Duh! The Sunni Arab monarchs want to take out Iran before it starts lobbing nukes into their gilded men’s rooms. Duh! Prince Andrew is a mountebank — and (stop the presses!) the CBC churns out anti-American dreck. Double Duh!”
“The left wing media is much more hypocritical than the right wing,” stated Stefan Santamaria. Read More »

The Mainstream Media Had A Choice...
Tabloid journalism, tabloid society
L.Martin: “At 6 a.m. on October 7, 1996, the stone age of American journalism officially began. We were on the cusp of going from Cronkite and Brokaw to O’Reilly and Hannity. Fox News went on the air with 18 million subscribers …”MORE...

Another Example Of A Problem With Our Justice System...
...trials become media events and the accussed needs to live with this irregardless of whether they are found guilty or innocent. I would favour a media ban until the verdict is made.

If all our society wanted was justice for victims, we could mete it out ourselves, as they do in places like Afghanistan

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
