David Warren Exposed

The shoddy journalism of David Warren, Ottawa Citizen columnist and perennial candidate for Canada's Worst Journalist, has finally been exposed.

Thanks to Carol Wainio, the Ontario Press Council has ruled that Warren "failed to meet generally accepted journalistic attribution standards".

Even though the OPC clearly ruled against Warren, the decision has been criticized for not being sufficiently strong.

How has Warren responded? Exactly as you might expect: instead of 'fessing up that he's a crappy member of his profession, he's been whining and portraying himself as a victim.

Three cheers for Carol Wainio! And three raspberries for David Warren and the Citizen.

David Warren is an Ignoramus

What happens when a newspaper hires an ignoramus as a columnist?

You get this kind of drivel, which has been deftly taken apart by media culpa.

David Warren seems to have attended the Denyse O'Leary school of ignorance.
