The Unbiased Toronto Star.
November 4th, 2009
Maybe newspapers like the Star wouldn’t be offering buyouts to trim payroll, contracting out editing and pagination, if they were unbiased. But at the Star, bias is considered a plus:
Union leader Maureen Dawson criticized the Star’s decision…
“Journalism is a collaborative effort, the product of a team of reporters, photographers and editors working in concert to produce the kind of activist agenda that has served Star readers and our community so well for so long,”
Next time you call them a biased media, and some Star loving, latte sipping birkenstocker protests, ask him what “activist agenda” means.
Silly me, I though a newspaper’s job was to supply its readers with news and information – who would have thought it existed to serve up an activist agenda?
The Toronto Star can’t lay off enough of these activist-agenda types.
