Maybe I should take the Irving course in the fall? What do you think? Do I need Irving papers to be a colorful journalist???

It is not the Irving journalism course it's the St Thomas course. Just because the Irvings donate money doesn't make it their course. They have no say in how it is run or what material is used to teach it. Hey they use some of CBC's space and equipment and Irving has nothing to do with the CBC.
The library on campus is the Harriet Irving library, does this mean that Irving controls the library? No they don't they just donated some money to build it.
Get your facts right and stop accusing people and companies of stuff. You have issues all wrong and you are blaming the wrong people.
Considering I am one of the individuals featured in this "article", I feel as if I should make a few things clear:
Firstly, had you, Mr. LeBlanc, actually listened to anything my friend and I had to say about St. Thomas University and our academic choices made there, you would have known that neither of us were journalism students and that we are current students pursuing other educational options there.
That said, you did manage to pick up on the fact that the both of us have taken some journalism courses there, which brings me to my next point...
You had nothing but good things to say about Mr. Philip Lee, a journalism professor at St. Thomas University, comments which gave both my friend and I the impression that not only were you familiar with STU's journalism program and faculty, but that you were favourable to it as well. Had you taken a STU journalism course, or at least known anything about the program to begin with, I feel you would not have made such a comment about an "Irving course".
Thirdly, after seeing these photos of myself and my friend under such a "headline" as the one you have chosen for this "article" I feel misrepresented as a St. Thomas University Student and as a person...Your comments situated under our smiling faces make the reader assume that my friend and I are in compliance with your opinions, which is false. My friend and I both share the (relatively) same positive opinions of St. Thomas University and its journalism program.
Because your comments associated with the photos of my friend and I are misrepresentative, it would be appreciated if you removed the photos from your blog.
I agree with the previous comment. The STU Journalism program has produced two consecutive winners of one of the most pretigeous awards in Canadian journalism today, the Joan Donaldson Scholarship. So, maybe Irving funds this program...but I think that maaaaaybe CBC knows what constitutes a good journalist, and a bad one. So ... get YOUR facts strait.

fact check:
those are current STU students.
Nice "reporting."
You expect a butthead to know the facts. Come on.
I agree with the first comment, its not the IRVINGS journalism course, and infact its a really good program from what I've heard.
