Learnings from my Globe and Mail today

I inevitably feel ripped off a couple hours after forking over $7.35 to the Korean Extortionist for a Saturday Globe and Mail. That's because it takes a couple hours to scan the news. No mention of Ukraine on the front page today, and hardly a passing mention anywhere else. Take what lesson you want from that, but I have a hunch there's a pivot going on in the world 'o news. But at least for the moment mainstream news will continue to pretend the sun shines out Zelensky's asshole. Former journo and now famous author Ian Brown got a full page to celebrate the glories of a free press. I read the whole damn thing just out of curiosity, to see if the name "Assange" would come up. It did not. But thank God there was at least one worthwhile story in the paper; the obit for Dorothy Eber. That alone was worth $7.35.
