Owen Gray, who blogs at Northern Reflections asks Where are the Woodwards and Bernsteins these days? Today’s blog post from Owen was in reference from another great column from Lawrence Martin, where he asks if the fourth estate has lost its tenacity. Owen’s and Lawrence Martin’s questions today remind me of a later . . . → Read More: Owen Gray Asks Where Are The Woodward And Bernsteins of Today?

I must disclose that, of course I don’t mean every journo or columnist, many do do good work, but many of my readers know who I am talking about.

All last week, we’ve read the columns, heard from journos how Stevie either keeps the jouros behind caged enclosures, limits them to five or . . . → Read More: Well, Corporate Media, How Well Has Cheerleading For Stevie And The Harpercons Worked For Ya?

It’s getting old real fast, or maybe this is yet another Brother Steve ploy to be able to put the CBC out of business once and for all with the help of his media outlets and pundits.

I can’t believe I must bring this up again and having to do so annoys the . . . → Read More: Harpercon Cheerleading Spoiled Brats…Shut the Fuck up Already!!

Good Gawd! Can Super Stevie do no Wrong?

After reading Harpercon media, looked at the polling numbers, listening to folks talk and of course, we can’t forget the Romper Roomies, I’m seriously wondering if Stevie can do anything wrong in their eyes? I really am!

Canada’s Oldest Radio Station Has Gone off the Air: Is New Technology Taking Over Commercial Radio as We Know it?

ck — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:46:52 +0000

Indeed, another hit to commercial radio happened in Montreal today. Canada’s oldest radio station (arguably perhaps even the world’s oldest), originally sporting the call letters XWA in 1919, changing to CFCF (“Canada’s First: Canada’s Finest”) in 1920, and subsequent other call letters, frequencies and format changes for 91 years, ending up as CINW . . . → Read More: Canada’s Oldest Radio Station Has Gone off the Air: Is New Technology Taking Over Commercial Radio as We Know it?

A Challenge Launched by Another Blogger And Of Course…Other Media Failures

Well, since the success of the rallies yesterday, many media outlets have covered this. Craig Oliver was impressed. Too bad CTV didn’t send anyone to many of the venues. I never saw them or Global TV at the Montreal event. I heard this was the case at other venues.

Will the Potential New Buyers of The Montreal Gazette and Two Other Papers Finally add Balance?

One can only hope. When something makes Jabba the Roy’s knickers go up in a bunch, one has to believe it can be a good thing. Before I go on: I have to know: since when do real doctors have time to call in radio shows? I think someone likes the sound of . . . → Read More: Will the Potential New Buyers of The Montreal Gazette and Two Other Papers Finally add Balance?
