Globe & Mail whores itself to tarsands. And a new low.

Didn't think the Globe & Mail could sink any lower? Think again. Feast your eyes on today's front page:


Here's the reality from the horse's mouth (emphasis mine):
It would be a huge mistake to interpret our results as some kind of a "get out of jail free" card for the tar sands. While coal is the greatest threat to the climate globally, the tar sands remain the largest source of greenhouse gas emission growth in Canada and are the single largest reason Canada is failing to meet it's international climate commitments and failing to be a climate leader. The world needs to transition away from fossil fuels if it wants to avoid dangerous human interference with the climate system. That means coal, unconventional gas, and unconventional oil all need to be addressed.
The Globe & Mail proves once again it is no better than Sun Media.
