The Globe and Mail

I refuse to read the Globe and Mail.  Ok, the odd time I'll read a story if no one else is carrying it and someone links to it, but that's it.  Why?  Because back in the 1990s they ran ads with the catch line: Anyone can have an opinion, but is it informed (or maybe it was 'educated').  The ads highlighted issues like abortion, gun control, and other hot button social issues and implied that if you didn't agree with the globe your were an idiot.

 

But now there is a new reason not to read! (via SDA):

 

Christmas is fast approaching, and with it, the dilemma of what to give the less likable people in our lives: office mates, ex-spouses, born-again Christians.  -- Globe and Mail Dec 3, 2005
