It's not the motive, stupids

Maclean's Paul Wells isn't entirely happy with this analysis by the Globe and Mail's Jeffrey Simpson of what's wrong with Canadian political journalism. Though Mr Simpson might not perhaps be best placed to cast the first stone, I think he's generally right.

While Mr Simpson usually reflects received standard wisdom (indeed he makes it, one often thinks), every once in a while he does dare to raise awkward questions. Carefully choosing his moments, one supposes.
