Responsible Journalism

 A Toronto firefighter has taken the Fire Department to the Human Rights Tribunal.  His grievances are the usual complaints of an aggrieved homosexual.   Suffice it to say the list was drawn up by a lawyer with the usual boilerplate complaints.

My grievance is that the Toronto Star presents them in disgusting detail, and covers its tracks by

Stating “none of the allegations in the complaint have [sic] been tested before the tribunal.”  The Star proceeds with a report of more than 1,000 words stating every possible complaint of the appellant, presenting them as truth, all shielded by the disclaimer.  Based on experience, the tribunal will give the aggrieved a bag of money of which the lawyer will take one-third, and all with bask in righteousness.
