It would appear that Jane Taber is back from vacation. In her Monday "morning buzz" on the Globe and Mail website, she made reference to the "employment equity debacle". This is a curious stance to take considering that the Globe's own polling showed 80% of their readers supporting the government's position. How can it possibly be framed as a "debacle" when it has strong bipartisan support? Are you reporting it as a debacle, or are you trying to frame it as a debacle?
Forgive me for being suspicious, but it was only yesterday that I read an op-ed at the Globe and Mail (that did not list an author) that tried to argue that the "ridiculous attack" on the long form census proved that the Tories had nefarious intentions when they took an unrelated position on a policy that is in harmony with the Globe's readers.
Nice try Jane. The greater debacle as I see it is posted near the top right hand side of the Globe and Mail's politics page: "Jane Taber and The Globe's parliamentary bureau set the agenda"
They might set the agenda but we are not following it. Sort of like no one is following the bus.
ReplyDeleteIf you examine the Board of Directors, senior management, senior staff at several news organization does it reflect the just society and diversity?
ReplyDeleteThis is the time of year that Calgarians promote the availability of Taber corn. Being from Toronto I understand too.
ReplyDeleteIs there a Canadian version of the JournoList or is that self evident?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny when the Globe goes after an issue and the people won't follow.
Doesn't stop them from trying.
But they don't always win.
And it seems to be happening more often these days.
Jane has done well for someone from the gentler sex. Isn't that how they promote themselves? For me I don't think she will bump against the glass ceiling but hope the concrete facts ceiling might suffice.
ReplyDeleteFor clarification, I do not want to restrict women from equality in any way and as a senior I have never nurtured that kind of negative thinking.
Wishful thinking indeed: they really do believe they do/should set the agenda. It's just such a darn shame that we have this thing about electing our representatives and having votes, and that whole inconvenient "democracy" thing.
