Toronto cops consider anti-poverty movements a threat.

This is news?  Nice of Stun Media to remind us though.  Nice to point out how the cops considered taking advantage of a non-crime to embarrass an anti-poverty activist.

"To have arrested him and charged him would have served our egos a lot more. Layton was a thorn in the side of the police, siding with the anti-poverty movement in '96 or '97 ... Jack was anti-police," the ex-cop said.


"We looked at it and thought do we take advantage of this, or do we look at this like (he's) any other person, put it away and we hope this thing dies a slow death."

Too bad Stun Media didn't pursue that story of police so corrupt they consider anti-poverty movements anti-law and held informal (it appears) discussions on how to twist a non-crime into something that could harm an anti-poverty politician.  

You know, come up with the names of those corrupt cops, see who, if anyone, they may have harmed throughout their careers simply because they considered those people a thorn in their sides.

That would have been hard hitting news.

Here are a few real criminal and/or corruption in politics stories that some real journalists are covering.  I'm sure Stun Media will get around to them, right?   Some even have busty hookers.

Your not going to believe this but, I have been having issues with my "blogroll" widget lately. I just visited DAMMIT JANET!, and came to your site to retrieve your url.

We were on the same wave length. I just posted on the subject that I think is being overlooked in this smearfest. And you had beat me to it. Awesome!
