THE NOTIONAL PEST, JUNK BOND MAKER: [I] will continue to remain amused that a newspaper that loses nearly a million bucks a month continues to give the rest of us lectures about fiscal restraint and probity and conservative principles.

CANWEST TURMOIL CONTINUES: Advice to former journalist colleagues there: get the Hell out. The end is nigh.

THE NOTIONAL PEST’S DEEP THINKERS RESPOND: Warren is wondering why the National Post just doesn’t die, already.

Warren Kinsella, Feb. 25, 2009:

YOUR MORNING BITS AND PIECES: I’ve been told by a couple people that a full-page display ad can be purchased in the Post for $7,000. If that is true, for advertisers, it’s a bargain; for a daily newspaper – with all the costs associated with being a daily newspaper – that’s a death sentence.

CANWEST HITS 29 CENTS: I very much hope the families of those journalists and editors aren’t forgotten in the rush to the exits.

Warren Kinsella, March 7, 2009:

CANWEST HIT 27 CENTS: …before the market mercifully closed, yesterday.

Warren Kinsella, March 19, 2009:

AN OPEN MEMO TO DAVID: [I] have periodically chronicled the fact that CanWest has been reduced to junk-bond status by mismanagement, thereby putting the livelihoods of hundreds of talented Canadian journalists at risk[.] . . . [T]he CBC (which wins news awards all the time) is getting run into the boards by the Harper Conservatives – while the company that owns the National Post (which never wins news awards) is likely to get a bailout. . . . The NNA nominations came out today. Not one for the National Post. NOT ONE. So, by all means, let’s rewrite tax laws for them, and give them big, fat AIG-style handouts!

MEDIA CUTS AND CUTS AND CUTS…: You know, in the future, some bloggers will think it’s swell that people are getting political commentary from them, but this is one web log writer who won’t.

Rather, he’s apparently one web log writer who only celebrates the failure of Canadian businesses whose politics are contrary to his own. Charming.
