The Globe: We’re taking on the mainstream media!” Kory Teneycke declared the other day as a dozen people from the mainstream media earnestly scribbled notes. “We’re taking on smug, condescending, often irrelevant journalism. We’re taking on political correctness. We will not be a state broadcaster offering boring news by bureaucrats, for elites, and paid for by taxpayers. We’ll be unapologetically patriotic.” The combative Mr. Teneycke is big news in media circles these days. As the front man for the new Sun TV News Channel (also known as Fox News North), he styles himself a giant-killer. The giant is us, especially the insufferably liberal CBC (which used to employ Mr. Teneycke as a right-wing commentator, but never mind). The MSM have shut out conservative points of view. We’re out of touch with ordinary Canadians. What the public wants is more straight talk and red meat.
