Sometimes I almost wish I understood what you were talking about.
You seem pretty confident there's something like reasoning happening between your ears, but damned if I can understand what it is.
OK, so here's my point. Postmedia decides who its army of papers will endorse. They did it last election. They did it this election.
This has nothing to do with the day to day editorial policy of individual papers they hold title to such as the National Post, and the Vancouver Sun.
Endorsements are a business decision from the business conglomerate. In between the 4 years when elections happen the editor hires and fires and writes his editorials. If the paper does as well as expected he keeps his job. If it doesn't, he doesn't.
That's my point. I'm still not sure what yours is.
Something about you don't believe Coyne is NDP or something, I think. Did you read this?
$1:
Coyne tweeted.
“If anyone’s still interested, I will be voting for the NDP candidate in my riding.”
Coyne thought he was a bigger bigshot than Postmedia thought he was, if they thought about him at all. He seems to have been laboring under the misbegotten impression that things would be different when a sooper-dooper big bigshot like himself was editor. Postmedia didn't get the memo, or maybe they did and they didn't bother to read it. They just did what they do. It was four years later and time to fire off their endorsements again.
