      25. During run-up to Iraq, you got better news about weakness of WMD case from ideological Democracy Now than from objective New York Times

      26. Respectability, for journalists, can be a trap, a way of accepting certain a priori judgements as to who can be trusted & what is news

      27. So, Jesse Brown is disreputable. Agreed. Does that mean what he writes is less valuable than what the Globe prints.

      28. Compare this 2012 Globe profile of Ghomeshi with Brown's journalism. Who do you trust? http://m.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/how-jian-ghomeshi-became-a-radio-superstar/article4415564/?service=mobile …

      29. Are there things @JesseBrown & I strongly disagree about? Yep. On that recent Ezra Levant story @simonhoupt is exactly right.

      30. But it's easy to disagree with @JesseBrown because he lays his cards on the table & doesn't use Globe's pose of pseudo-objectivity

      31. Beyond the @simonhoupt column, which made good points amid conceptual mess, there's the larger issue of Globe and Mail.

      32. Globe and Mail senior management need to some soul searching, because they have a 100 year old business model that is falling apart.

      33. Globe didn't break the Rob Ford crack video story. Gawker & Star did. Globe didn't break Ghomeshi story. Jesse Brown & Star did.

      34. Globe held on to the Doug Ford drug dealing story for months and months, till Gawker and Star forced their hand.

      35. As a news consumer, I really feel like Globe doesn't want to share news with me. It wants to hoard news, and portion it out.

          36. Globe doesn't see its job to give readers news, but to act as gatekeeper between readers and news.

          37. The Globe sees itself as the paper of record. I hate to offend anyone's amour propre, but that just ain't so guys.

          @HeerJeet At point 35 you really start losing the plot. Unrecognizable to news culture of the Globe.

          @padams29 I'm basing this on documented cases of Globe sitting on stories longer than seemed reasonable.
