Obviously what you take when the butthurt gets to you, lol.

It's what my daughter used to take so I knew it would also be age appropriate for you.

Now whenever you want to get back to the topic instead of staring at my package..

Engaging in homo-erotic fantasies now I see. This might not be the appropriate forum for that, buddy
You'll have to excuse him. If Harper had said what he just said, it would worth him raging for days.

But I've hurt Flossy's feelings, so his weaponizing homosexuality is ok.

I think it is called projecting.
No, it's called exposing his true colours. He's a bigot.

Fair and balanced muzzling.

Coyne should rush out and buy his own newspaper

Are you sure? I'm not, but maybe I should. You're very emotional and irrational.

Leave Flossy be... I strongly suspect that his overly emotional demeanor today has to do with having his period.

The poor wee lamb might just break into tears if you push him more

Boo Hoo! He who own the company and delivers the pay cheques sets the policies. If National Post endorses Harper its journalists had better not go against it. They can still vote as they please. It simply prevents them from campaigning for the Liberals and NDP.

Lol

He can still toe the company line as an editor and have a separate opinion as a columnist.

One does not compromise the other and papers do that all the time.

What part of "He who payeth the piper calleth the tune" is straining your brain?

Other papers can do as they will. So will the Nat Post. You don't like it? Don't buy it.

How Stalinesque of them!

No, they can campaign for whom they please too. They just apparently cannot do it in the National Post even as an op-ed.

Editorials are simply opinions.
This thread is another molehill.

All the excuses in here are sad.

It's the reason things like this happen in the first place.

And the Toronto Star does what????

But that's OK

I didn't mention the Star anywhere. That said I'm not surprised if they do the same thing. Not much 'free' press anywhere in the world anymore. Seems all MSM is agenda driven and that agenda IMO is to divide us so we are too busy fighting each other to see what is really going on.

The Star frequently has pro conservative editorials and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

That said, you can always count on the The Sun for a good laugh. I can't wait to see this year's post election cover. It's always highly entertaining.

I was reading the Hongcouver SUn this am and there was a letter to the editor form a dhimwhit that said she simply could not read a paper that endorsed Harper.
