Was channel surfing around 4pm EST today and happened upon CTV Newsnet. Matheson, who I can't stand at the best of-worst-of-times was interviewing the Editor of the UPEI Student Newpaper. Said Newspaper has the distinction of being the only newspaper in the country to publish the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed which got the Danes into trouble, via Assad of Syria and is not-so-secret-police. Odd how the riot started when Iran was reported to the UN Security Council, but alas, I digress....
Matheson seems to have found some balls lately but doesn't seem to know how to adjust (them?!) to the new found pressure of having gonads. Yesterday he lambasted a group that sued and won for the right of "Lord Stanley's Cup" to be contested by non-NHL teams if the NHL decides to take a year off once again.
But today it was the UPEI's newspaper Editor's turn in Matheson's Hotseat. Questions were directed to this kid regarding how reckless he was to print them and how dangerous it was. The kid, acting more professional than the trained seal... Err... Matheson, replied that while every media outlet in Canada has cast opinions on the cartoons, none had showed them to their readers.... and he went off to defend his actions. Not enough for Matheson, he barked off a few more questions that were more like statements..... When the fuck did the Fox News mentality take over CTV?
