“As it turns out, the preponderance of journalists are Democrats.”

The Telegraph-Journal sincerely apologizes to the Prime Minister…

The story stated that a senior Roman Catholic priest in New Brunswick had demanded that the Prime Minister’s Office explain what happened to the communion wafer which was handed to Prime Minister Harper during the celebration of communion at the funeral mass. The story also said that during the communion celebration, the Prime Minister “slipped the thin wafer that Catholics call ‘the host’ into his jacket pocket”.
There was no credible support for these statements of fact at the time this article was published, nor is the Telegraph-Journal aware of any credible support for these statements now. Our reporters Rob Linke and Adam Huras, who wrote the story reporting on the funeral, did not include these statements in the version of the story that they wrote. In the editing process, these statements were added without the knowledge of the reporters and without any credible support for them.

…20 days after publication. Do reporters even follow the news anymore?

Update: Stephen Taylor has lots, lots more – “That’s quite an edit!”
Update 2: This is finally trickling into the mainstream this morning. The Calgary Herald notes “Both the names of the newspaper’s editor, Shawna Richer, and the publisher, Jamie Irving, do not appear on the masthead of Tuesday’s edition.”

The journey to extinction begins with a single anchorman .

Readers may note that the preponderance of items posted here in recent days are decidedly non-Canadian in content.
This is due in no small part to the fact that the number one story in Canadian politics at the moment is a controversy involving the Prime Minister and a cracker.
I mention this, not to invite further debate, but to offer that if you are a Canadian news journalist or pundit who has not yet been launched from a bridge railing in celebration of your complete and utter uselessness, there may still be time.
(Update)

“Not a headline you’ll see in Canada”

The Times goes off message – “Apparently reacting to criticism, The Times has changed the title of the article to remove the word Nazi, and the title takes an entirely different meaning. … There is no mention of why.”
Update: – “The Times of London has now removed all mention of the Nazis from the story…”

“Controversy erupted this week at the World Conference of Science Journalists over the National Science Foundation’s “underwriting” of media projects. It turns out that the NSF, which is heavily invested in propagating the Global Warming party line, has been quietly producing content for news outlets, content which the casual observer might not recognize for the propaganda it is.”

Hunter Smith, July 5th; “He did see an older man in a white shirt reach down into the blood pool and cover his hands. He then wiped them on his shirt to make it look like his blood or that he had been involved. Hunter saw what he thought was an AP photographer take the man’s picture. Hunter said if you see it on the web, don’t believe it. It was faked.”

“…chiefly it’s a comic drama playing to an increasingly empty theater.”

“For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post has offered lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to “those powerful few”: Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and — at first — even the paper’s own reporters and editors.”

Which is curious, to say the least. It’s Jane Taber, after all.

It’s not an extinction. It’s suicide.
