More Media Malaise

The New York Slimes isn't the only liberal mouthpiece that is slowing sinking into the ooze. Sun-Times Media Group Inc. is inching closer to oblivion. I wonder how much tricks like this have to do with it:

"Both incidents involved motorcycle officers. The Bush incident took place in Albuquerque. Today’s incident happened in Dallas. In short, these are very similar stories. Why such dramatically different headlines? Perhaps someone from Time would care to explain."

Don't hold your breath.

UPDATE: Totally by chance (/sarcasm off), the CBC posts this about an incident of racism in Edmonton today. But as Kathy Shaidle points out, buried deep at the bottom of the article is this:

"Gill, 33, came to Canada from India in 1993 and said she has never encountered racism during elections or during everyday life."

When the good constable in charge of investigating the crime says: "Hopefully this is just an isolated incident. I thought we were above this type of behaviour.", I think the seventeen year experience of Ms Gill speaks well to that issue. Perfection will always be out of reach, but I can hardly call the work of a small pea brained misanthrope and his fellow gangsters (the Mill Creek area of Edmonton does have a gang problem, by the way), a major problem. Mind you, I'm betting Ms Gill's positive outlook on life rules out the possibility that she would wallow in any of the customary exaggerated whining that is so commonplace when such isolated incidents take place, egged on of course, by media hype. Stupid teenage hoodlums do not speak for Canadians any more than do stupid leftwing whiners, no matter what the CBC chooses to emphasize in their headlines or through the structure of their articles.
