The Galloping Beaver

Gravatar Theres a letter writing campaign underway at ACR. Frank Frink has gotten the advertisers emails, and sites listed.
It seems small, and nutty, but nipping it in the bud isn't a bad idea. The media concentration in Canada is the worst in the world, and this kind of stuff tends to go through each chain.
Anyone who is into venting, politely?


Gravatar I recently found your site thru C&L and I love it. As a longtime Toronto resident I can tell you a bit about the Sun's past - It used to be a pro NDP paper and really pushed itself as a pro union paper. Within the last 5-10 years while I wasnt watching it somehow became this Conservative Rag that you have noted. At one time the paper was owned by the employees - I guess they sold out!


Gravatar J Comando, thanks for that. I thought a lot of the Sun labeled newspapers were originally labour oriented in the past. I guess the Quebcor takeover changed all that.


Gravatar the sun - run by Peter Worthington for years - has always fancied itself a populist blue-collar tabloid with lots of stereo ads, an extensive sports section and, of course, the Sunshine Girl. It's editorials have general been to the right of the reform party movement.
