The National Post (The Regional Boast) - "is now less respectable than say The Weekly World News"

Troy's Scribbles: As for The National Post, I wouldn't even wrap a fish in it
I've been avoiding CTV News and The National Post (and derivatives) for a couple days now, especially any article that contains the names John or Ivison. This past weekend, the Asper media empire has come undone, losing any and all pretence of being about news. It is truly now trying to create the news, rather than report it. It is now less respectable than say The Weekly World News, because at least they knowingly hire comedy writers. Asper has truly followed Harper's lead down a path of irrelevance.

The NP's coverage of the on-going events of the past few days, dealing with the coalition government's formation, have been way off and/or very misleading - less news stories and more of a propaganda outlet for the Harper Tories.
