National Post says it's sorry for transphobic ad, but not for Conrad Black

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      The National Post says it's sorry for running a transphobic ad from the Institute for Canadian Values.

      The Christian group's message dealt with Ontario school-curriculum content concerning transsexual, transgender, intersex, and two-spirit issues. According to the institute, teaching in this area "corrupts children".

      "The National Post has procedures in place for vetting the content of advertising, especially advocacy advertising," the editorial intoned. "The procedures are intended to ensure that such ads meet a standard of tone and respect that is consistent with furthering constructive dialogue about important public policy issues."

      Now, if only the Postmedia-owned paper would apologize for publishing David Frum, Christie Blatchford, Terence Corcoran, Michael Coren, Lorne Gunter, Conrad Black, Jonathan Kay, Jason Kenney...well, you get the picture.

      Conrad Black, although I don't agree with everything he says, I do find him to be very in tune with the general zeitgeist of the times, especially when it comes to drug law reform.

      On the plus side, nobody with half a brain reads the National Compost...like Conman Black, it will quietly disappear some day and not be missed.

      Bah, why should we care, Conrad Black ain't even a real Canadian anyways.
