CALGARY, ALBERTA, Oct 22, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Gemini-nominated journalist Krista Erickson, and columnist Ezra Levant are the latest additions to the growing SUN TV NEWS team. Pierre Karl Peladeau, President and CEO of Quebecor Inc., Quebecor Media Inc. and Sun Media Corporation made the announcement today speaking to the Economic Club of Canada in Calgary. Krista Erickson joins the hard news team as a reporter and daytime news anchor. Ezra Levant will bring his outspoken nature to prime time as a straight talk host. Gentleman, start your lawsuits...
Seriously, though, I have a thousand jokes where the punchline is "Ezra Levant". If I use three a day, I will probably be getting near the end when the whole sad Fox News North spectacle takes its final shit and dies.
And Kinsella will get clear of it somehow. That's the good news. He'll probably be loaning the other FNN crew money when the whole thing goes TU because of his generous nature. Although so far I personally have seen none of this fabled generous nature of his. Not even one beer. But whatever.
I tweeted my hopes for this wonderful news:

Please, please, please make Levant and Kinsella co-host a show. It'll be the best TV coupling since Harry Reasoner and Barbara Walters.

Actually, I think we should start a pool here for when Kinsella will inevitably sue Levant.
I have to say with this motley crew being assembled, there is a certain curiousity on my part to watch SUNNews, only for the car-crash aspect of it all.
Why do media people constantly put Levant on TV? He isn't witty, he isn't clever, he doesn't provoke thought or inform... he's just loud, rude, and annoying.
ReplyDeleteOh well... at least this means we'll see him less (or hopefully not at all) on any of the other news stations/shows.
"Why do media people constantly put Levant on TV?"
ReplyDeleteBecause he is a right wing wing nut whose greatest talent is talking over people to ensure an opposing view is never heard.
It's simply not enough to dislike it, you really need to find a way of stopping it. Maybe some more human rights tribunals or Soros funded petitions will help.
ReplyDelete@riddleMethis: what, like the 'boo-hoo, go-away-coalition' Go Petition you signed, Will-I-Am?

ReplyDeleteI have a Two Four right here for ya, big guy.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for a little Ridenrain/Shaidle girl on girl action. Does that make me a bad person?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you love to see some flies in the studio when LeRant is talking - flying right into LeRant's constantly screaming open big mouth
ReplyDeleteIs that before of after the flies sue him for libel?
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, things in Calgary are getting better and beter!
