It's certainly the best tabloid out there, and I'd probably jump in a second if I could for the extra pay. And I've certainly been just as critical of other media and newspapers (including my own) when they've pulled cheap stunts. But the idea of making news and over-scandalizing small or even non-existent issues just rubs me the wrong way. I don't think the Journal is crappy.

And it's not like it's pretending to be Le Devoir. Plus J de M pays it's reporters really well and they have a four day work week. I think you're just jealous Steve. Some people might think the Gazette is a worse place to work. I'm kind of getting sick of the flogging J de M takes from media types. It's like you're trying to impress and outdo each other by saying how crappy it is. The J de M is one of the few papers that does tabloid properly, with the resources needed.

Can we lay down the paranoia? It’s not because the english hate the french that the opposite is true. If it was, the english would have been thrown out centuries ago when we had the numbers.
