A bit prickly eh?

Hyperbole and exaggeration are now off limits at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation in the aftermath of an opinion column by Heather Mallick.

In the words of CBC ombudsman Vince Carlin, Ms. Mallick...
...was unable to present evidence to support her suggestion that that Republican men were deficient sexually or that Ms. Palin’s supporters were “white trash.”


After mining the story for outrage, Fox News returned to judicious even-handed journalism such as linking Barack Obama (8 years old at the time) to terrorist acts committed by the Weatherman.
