the Charter of Rights does not include a right not to be offended…

I’ve made it through the day – side illness that I don’t feel like sharing details about and all. It’s now later in the evening and – after spending a chunk of my afternoon reading blog after blog discussing the current BC Human Rights Tribunal events relating to Mark Steyn and McLean’s – I’ve yet to see anything on the local or national news that mentions these events. Sure, Andrew Coyne is liveblogging the “trial” on the MCLEAN’S web site and a tonne of other bloggers have taken up the torch, but it strikes me as incredibly lazy for any journalist or newscaster to turn a blind eye to this story.

UPPERDATE 03/06/08: Apparently a few people have picked up on the events and are starting to include them in the day’s news reports. Still, it’s a startingly small number of reports considering the size of the country. Check them soon as I don’t know how long they’ll be available online. National Post. The Province. CBC. Vancouver Sun. Canadian Press (CP). The CP article was in this morning’s Sun here in Edmonton.
