Radwanski is Too Kind - CanWest is Scum: Despicable Smearjob On McGuinty

You must read Radwanski detailing CanWest sleaze. Absolutely vital. Will CanWest print as prominent stories correcting the record? Originally, when I saw the headline, I was appalled McGuinty had made such a comparison, so stupid, so insensitive, so out of character. Turns out, it was CanWest, IN character, that was disgraceful, imputing non-existent outrageous comparisons, and smearing McGuinty with it. McGuinty was asked an almost unbelievably bad faith question, and had the grace to give exactly the kind of thoughtful, measured, complete response people always say they want from politicians. This episode goes really well with the Dumont-Bouchard interview on the state of politics I noted earlier. This whole story just illustrates how our politicians are so much better at their jobs than our media are at theirs. Just a complete disgrace.
