I am listening to Scott Rintoul right now, and they just played a clip from an interview with Don Cherry that was on Toronto radio KISS 92.5 this AM. It continues to be frustrating that certain media outlets refuse to accurately report—and draw attention to—what was most problematic in Cherry's rant.

The interviewer—much like the writer of the National Post article, and like Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington—set his focus on Cherry's mention of "you people," and not where it should be on "you people THAT COME HERE."

Reporters continue to ignore the real issue, and it provides an (albeit weak) avenue for Cherry to maintain that he is a victim of being misunderstood. So long as people refuse to call him out for the real problem, then the entire exercise of his dismissal was ultimately futile.

*EDIT* Also of note is that in the interview Cherry also insisted twice that he meant EVERY WORD of what he said. He meant to single out immigrants. Stop side-stepping this unambiguous fact.
