What little is left of the Globe's reputation as a newspaper to be taken seriously has been unraveling rapidly in its non-coverage of the voter suppression crimes of the last federal election. Its editorial stance has essentially been one of convincing its readers that there really is nothing to see here, just move on and attend to your daily diversions.
The latest nail in the coffin of its journalistic integrity comes from that lazy pundit, Margaret Wente, who seems quite content to mock the concern being expressed country-wide over these crimes, essentially arguing that there is no evidence people were prevented from voting, so what's the big deal?
You can read the entire shameful parody of journalism here.
Thanks for pointing this out. Every morning the ritual of reading the G&M becomes more and more painful, with the exceptions of Lawrence Martin and, ironically, the tv critic Doyle.
ReplyDeleteWente is the Sargent Schultz of Canadian journalism. She "sees nothing -- nothing at all."
ReplyDeleteWente is especially Marie Antoinettish with this bit of drivel. Ibbitson and Wente have really sunk to new lows. Globe is getting like Fox News where the talking points are disseminated in the morning for the hosts.
ReplyDeleteThe Globe is predictably leftish tripe, and has become the NOW daily.
ReplyDeleteAny thinkers and competent journalists the paper once had have fled to the NP, which has become the only worthwhile Canadian paper to read. It has provided excellent coverage of the robocalls turmoil, Vic T's poor judgment, and provides a decent balance its analysis of all parties.
