Years ago now Canwest bought a bunch of independant TV stations. In Edmonton "ITV" became Global. ITV always had a local flavour that seemed fairly balanced to this righty's eyes. It was not strident lib or con. The night that Canwest took over the station the local news took on a distinctive lib hue. After a few years I quit watching. Given Asper's past it was to be expected even though it was regretable. Who is the big money behind Bellglobe that keeps it and its pet opinionists all liberal all the time?

Martin tries to be a stereotype journalist. Well, at least he has the drunk part down pretty good.
Hey Don!! How many stories & columns have you written in a pub with a lap top, pissed to the gills trying to look important (and failing)?
" journalist Linda McQuaig asks us to imagine how we would react if our towns were being bombed and people killed by a foreign army purporting to help."
how about McQuack imagining us taking our women to the football stadium for a good ol'stoning, Riley and herself at the head of the line, sheesh, what stupidity!
