@Henry – I’m glad you brought up the Huff-Po controversy as I wanted to find away to link to this conversation on CBC’s Q about it some way. It’s an interesting debate. There are upsides and downsides to the fact that millions of us can now self-publish and broadcast.

Oh I thought of one:

Chris Bosh to review The Imaginary Invalid.

Kevin Bacon is priceless. nice connect.

but to the issue…this reminds me of the recent huffing surrounding the Huffington post where journalists submit on a voluntary basis, and articles are selected presumably the merit of the article. No one needs a background in journalism/politics/criticism. Just to write.
But this is all part in parcel of CRTC’s recent decision to go lax on accountability in the press core. Now everyone has a blank cheque to print fiction and call it news.
