Default Sun Media endorses Justin Trudeau

http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews...01-081630.html

Who'd a thunk? Must be an April Fool's Joke.

Well d'uh.

They had two April Fools day jokes in the paper today.

But the Trudeau one should get some pretty amazing phone line jams

Such a lame joke because it's so implausible. Kind of too bad its a joke though, just to see how many Sun-lovers would suddenly change their tune!

Isn't the real joke in all of this the impartial journalism at the Sun anyway though? If almost any other major news network endorsed a politician it would a) only be news during an election and b) not be shocking regardless of which party they endorsed.

April Fools or not, it's quite amazing that crap like that can get published.

The Sun is great entertainment, but hardly journalism. A step above the New York Post and that's about it.

Sun "News" is an April Fools joke in itself... that keeps going year-round.

Not even really a April Fool's joke. Just thinly veiled insults and editorializing masquerading as a AFJ.

Lame sauce.
