Saturday August 12th 2006

Well, it’s Saturday, and every Saturday the Globe inserts an entire Globe Toronto section (section M). This could be the Globe’s chance to redeem themselves after a week of garbage. Lets see what how they did.

“Where’s the money?”: Not Garbage 2/3, crime 1/3

“Silver Surfer”: Fluff 1/2, Not about Toronto 1/2

“By their lounges you shall know them”: Fluff

“The house that eBay built”: Fluff

“Making the force fit the city”: Crime: 2/3, Not Garbage: 1/3

“Blair’s working it like Fantino never could (J. Barber)”: Not Garbage 1/2, Crime 1/2

“Lobbing well is the best revenge”: Fluff 1/2, Not about Toronto 1/2

“The going rate; On-line dating”: Fluff 1/2, Not about Toronto 1/2

“Now playing: a book?”: Fluff 1/2, Not about Toronto 1/2

“This Weekend”: Not Garbage!

“Talk of the town”: Fluff

“The cat comes back – and back, and back”: Fluff

Well, disappointing but unsurprising really. Half the stuff was ‘Weekend Review’ or ‘Style’ stuff, not about Toronto at all, and fluffy enough for those sections.
