TODAY'S SUNSHINE SHILL - New Co2 Art Feature

As Canadian journalism transforms from the rudderless, so-called objective ideals of people whose typewriters could almost be heard from the barrooms they so often frequented, into today's slick new, well-oiled communications arm of the global petroleum industry, we thought there should be a way of saluting the pioneers of the new paradigm.  

You don't have to look far to find merit worthy candidates. You basically just have to open your eyes in the presence of almost any corporately owned newspaper.

So TODAY'S SUNSHINE SHILLS are proud to offer you a couple of gems: The Vancouver Sun, with:

Greenest city moniker an Orwellian nightmare

Green economies don't create wealth, but dissipate it, which should send a shudder down the spine of every person in Vancouver

By Harvey Enchin, Vancouver Sun

And, not to be outdone in any way, the Calgary Herald, with its:

Corbella: Al Gore's convenient untruths about Alberta's oilsands

Pipelines are most environmentally safe way to ship oil

 By Licia Corbella, Calgary Herald

Neither of these articles are clearly labeled as opinion pieces on the online versions.

Neither of these articles provide a rudimentary news story anywhere within all the chicken feathers you have to shovel through to get at any actual information.

Both of these stories read like haphazard collections of cut-and-pastes lifted from right wing comments found on the internet and canned talking points.

This is truly outstanding work. That peregrine falcon stuff was classic!

Congratulations one and all!
