Sun Media boggles the mind
In our round-up last week of just some of the really crappy reporting on polling that is going on at QMI, we wrote about a Brian Lilley news piece on what he called a “secret government survey” that he said … Continue reading
The dangers of working for hacks (or not)
As we’ve said before, there are some good journos at Sun Media, and it must be hard for them trying to maintain their integrity, and their sanity, working for a news organization ran by a Conservative partisan committed to espousing … Continue reading

Sun reports three-week old poll as news, hopes no one notices
Polls are already voodoo science to a large degree. A crutch for lazy media-types that don’t want to bother taking the effort to file more substantive coverage of issues. At best, they’re a snap-shot of the mood of the electorate valid … Continue reading

It’s only been a few months and already the crack new Sun regime that Kory Teneycke assembled has racked-up some impressive entries for this year’s Michener for worst editorial (whadya mean there’s no such category? — ed). There was the one where … Continue reading

Having seemingly ran out of angles to unnecessarily scare Canadians about Muslims on planes, Sun Media and reporter Brian Lilley today turned to trying to find a Canadian angle to the election-season torqued story of the week down in the U.S.: the desire to build … Continue reading
There’s what happened at committee, and then there’s the QMI version
Maybe it’s those short, short stories that Sun reporters are required to file (it’s because their readership has short attention-spans – ed.) but you could fill two more Sun stories with what was left out of Brian Lilley’s coverage of … Continue reading
It ain’t easy trying to be a journalist at QMI
While Kory and Co. cleaned-out many of the real journalists in QMI’s Parliament Hill bureau (Spencer, Thompson, Weston, Zimonjic, Harris and others) there are still some dedicated, under-appreciated journos toiling away in the bureau. And we sympathize with their plight, and how hard … Continue reading
Sun Media on ethics crusade…no, really
Apparently, the finance minister is going to have an off the record meeting with an invite-only list of experts from academia and the world of finance to solicit policy advice, as the never-ending process of preparing the next federal budget continues. … Continue reading
Khadr’s lawyer won’t talk to QMI. Boo-hoo.
It seems Omar Khadr’s lawyers don’t want to talk to Sun Media’s parliamentary bureau boss David Akin: Khadr’s two Canadian lawyers are Nate Whitling and Dennis Edney, both of Edmonton. Whitling, reached Monday night via e-mail, refused to speak to … Continue reading
