Well, ladies and gentlemen, I did my usual round of newspaper scanning this morning and found out that columnist Eric Margolis has been pushed from the pages of the Toronto Sun. Why? Simple really. He says too many things which upset a lot of people in power here in Canada.One of my favourite stories related to Margolis is a certain letter-to-the-editor to the Toronto Sun (which now carries oodles of irony). It went something like this...
LETTER WRITER
Some readers hate Eric Margolis because he tells an informed truth and usually ends up being proven right.
EDITOR'S COMMENT

This news watchdog has a duty to continue reading the Toronto Sun but, certainly, this makes that paper even more irrelevant than before. Besides, its readership has plummeted in the last few years.
Maybe Sun owner Quebecor thinks it can capture the 'ignorant market'.
