If you read their papers you see almost NO business comments. They have lots of political stuff, and occasionally quote some business think tank, but that's it.<BR/><BR/> Of course most papers function that way now, nothing is put into context, its just 'stuff that happens'. When you consider how much is editorial content, advertising, entertainment, sports and classifieds, that lives very little rooom for anything else.<BR/><BR/> You never know, sometimes the 'new blood' aren't big fans of the family, however, if this guy wasn't towing the family line then I doubt he'd be editor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-1143376896908531652006-03-26T08:41:00.000-04:002006-03-26T08:41:00.000-04:00I repeat....Talking to them?

Yes, you are correct in your comments of the way they act but Management do play a huge role in their decision.<BR/><BR/>Look at the case of Peter Huggart when he wrote a column telling New Brunswickers in 2003 that we'll only allowed to write one letter per month on any issues.<BR/><BR/>Months later, the Irvings shut down the shipyard.<BR/><BR/>Was the column ordered by the Irvings?<BR/><BR/>I'm just debating the issue here.Blogger Charles LeBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904161889628998531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9571186.post-1143373921262316042006-03-26T07:52:00.000-04:002006-03-26T07:52:00.000-04:00They are scum of the earth.

They are the ones who blackmailed Saint John for the LNG terminal, they are the ones who moved to Bermuda to avoid taxes, they are the ones turning NB forests into tree farms, getting billions in subsidies, closing the shipyards, ripping off NB Power. They are the ones who refused to clean up the Irving Whale when it sunk with PCB's, they are the ones who control the politicians and refuse to print anything about their companies or monopolies.<BR/><BR/> What is funny is all this comes from a story about the head 'macho' of the Telegraph Journal, and right after that is a blog about how all the newspaper refuse to print letters to the editor and grant freedom of speech except the Daily Gleaner.

Anybody that thinks Irving management doesn't get their marching orders from Irvings doesn't know much about business.<BR/><BR/> One day Charles is berating the Irvings, the next he says their all right and its management he's after. <BR/><BR/> The reality of the gas terminal is that there is nowhere else for Repsol to go. All the projects along the eastern seaboard have suppliers. They are supplying the gas, so what do they care about how much tax the terminal is paying? They get paid for their gas either way.<BR/><BR/> Speaking of fair journalism, notice how the Irvings are portrayed as just 'tough businesspeople' who provide jobs in return for getting what they want. There is no real depth to the story as to how many jobs they provide compared to the cost of 'getting what they want'. It seems the Globe and Mail is as bad at 'fair' journalism as the Telegraph Journal is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
