It was started to compete with the Globe and Mail but hasn't done very well, and there are rumors it's going to be shut down. and in > Canada has the reputation that the New York Times. Er, well, no, again, that would be the Globe and Mail (which has been called "the Great Canadian Grey Lady," a reference to its similar status to the New York Times). The National Post is sort of halfway between a tabloid and USA Today. > > And you do know, don't you, shukra69, that the New York Times has > also "been caught fabricating or distorting information in the past" > as well without it hurting its reputation that much. > > Do the names "Jason Blair" and "Walter Duranty" ring any bells? > > The New York Times is not perfect nor is Canada's National Post.
