      12. Wente alludes to Flanagan feeling contrite for his role in all creating political culture of personal destruction but is it true?

      13. I haven't read Flanagan's book yet. Does he specifically apologize for smearing Paul Martin as supporter of child porn?

      14. As I was usefully reminded, Flanagan does say attack on Paul Martin was "demagogic." So that's good.

      15. Child porn does raise important issues, so deserves academic study (which Wente opposes).

      16. The political attack dog who has a late life "come to Jesus" moment and disingenuously repents. Lee Atwater or Tom Flanagan?>

      17. Ah, the good old days when we could glibly & ignorantly spout off about child porn without being held accountable by the plebes.

      19. Big question: to what extent was Flanagan the victim of censorship & media mob? He kept Globe perch & got book contract.

      20. Politicians distanced themselves for Flanagan but that's hardly surprising: he glibly said looking at photos of raped kids is victimless

      21. Flanagan lost CBC gig but public broadcaster has right to be wary of someone who is glib & ignorant about a very serious topic.

          22. If we want to talk about censorship, what about voices that never get to go on CBC or have Globe columns?

          23. How many Native Canadians have a Globe perch like Flanagan? How many were on CBC as much as he was before the fall?

          @JRMarlow Ignorant in claim that viewing of child porn causes no harm. (Obviously harmful to victim for images of crime to circulate).
