$300,000 just to be a middle man? This guy is in the wrong line of work...or maybe he's in the perfect place.

Looks like CBC fired him. That was rather quick.

I'm surprised. We are told that both the CBC and Star are rightwing hating outlets, yet the Star ratted out the CBC. Is there no honor among rightwing haters?

Jian Gomeshi.

This is turning into a good year. Two of the hosts I can stand the least are gone from the CBC,

On this, at least, we agree.

Probably hypersensitivity caused by the Ghomeshi debacle where they'll now bag anyone, no matter how high-profile they are, even on a hint of improper behaviour.

Really?

I always thought 'Sunday Morning' was one of his best shows. I kind of liked his dispassionate way of reporting things. And I've listened to 'The House' since it started. It was a good way to get the information that most reporters skip past.

I kind of don't see the problem here either. He disclosed to the CBC what he'd be doing before he did it. And they were OK with it. Until they weren't.

Amanda Lang better watch her back.

I wonder if Mercer is going over his business life with a fine tooth comb now?

They haven't fired this douchebag yet.
