Like FOX and the Sun newspapers, its stock and trade is telling idiots, bigots and right wing psychos what they want to hear, facts be dammed. Thus reinforcing and further narrowing their yahoo, pig ignorant, blank and white view of the world. Ezra's ambition is to be Canada's Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity (although I think Charles Adler has the Hannity job all sewn up)Rev.Paperboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561796588927776371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-71913094718942922132011-11-04T07:58:19.404-04:002011-11-04T07:58:19.404-04:00Looks good on these right-wing rag merchants who l...Looks good on these right-wing rag merchants who like to put their faith in the invisible hand of the free market. I get a small town daily paper that was recently taken over by QMI. Every day, there's about a full page of free advertising for Sun media. Despite that, they can't seem to break even. Awwww.

I also suspect the "3-5 year" profitability statement is a way to appease shareholders in the short term.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-56264895934080526052011-11-03T15:15:55.735-04:002011-11-03T15:15:55.735-04:00I'll admit ignorance in asking if Peladeau'...I'll admit ignorance in asking if Peladeau's company is publicly traded or not, and laziness for not bothering to look that up.<br /><br />Asking because even if only a part is publicly traded (like Murdoch and News Corp) at some point you could get booted as CEO by your irresponsible business actions, even if you enjoy majority control. If Peladeau owns Quebecor 100%, then he can be as foolish as he wants with Sun News.Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.com
