National Post sued

National Post sued, and it's about time

University of Victoria Professor Andrew Weaver has launched a lawsuit
against the
National Post, Terence Corcoran, Peter Foster, and
Kevin Libin. It's about time.

The National Post columnists stated the Weaver is a
"corrupt scientist". They claimed that he fabricated stories about a
break-in into his office.

Weaver did no such thing. His office was indeed broken into, and
there is a police report to prove it. However, Weaver never made any
accusation with regard to who was responsible for it.

Why, then, did it say in the National Post, not once but
on four different occasions, by three different authors, Corcoran,
Foster, and Libin, that Weaver had accused the fossil fuel industry of
being responsible for the break-in?


Because the
National Post prints lies, that's why. The editors
and management of the
National Post know that Terence Corcoran is
a liar, but they keep him on the payroll, and don't fact-check his
stories.
