I am mystified, how is it that those who profess to hate the Toronto Sun are so conversant with the paper’s stance on everything? They proudly declaim that they would sooner be dipped in shit than be caught reading it’s apocryphal pages yet their familiarity with the positions expounded by it’s editors and columnists is so comprehensive that they must be clairvoyant or are reading it under the covers with a flashlight.
At least I, and many others I am sure, make an effort to read the Star before making judgements on it and it‘s content. Are we wrong? Is the effort to actually read opinions we may not agree with some how counter productive?
Perhaps education is the key. Am I shackled by the inadequacies of my grade 11 education , unable to see the smaller picture espoused by those whose post secondary degrees have taught them to ignore uncomfortable opinions?
I read and enjoy the Sun and the Post and make no apologies about doing so. I also read the Star. All 3 papers have their strengths and their weaknesses, qualities that depend on your predispositions but qualities none the less.
Any message that begins by denigrating a newspaper you are proud not to read rings a little hollow
Feel free to post contrary opinions without fear of being branded a troll for doing so.
