Talk:National Post

message: The news is notable as produced huge amount of reactions. After just one day you can find numerous links in google . There is also no controversy as such law never passed or even discussed in Iran. It was simply a lie made by Amir Taheri and distributed by National Post. This is a very unprofessional act in the history of this canadian media. --Mitso Bel18:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  National Post and "Color coding minorities in Iran" 

message: I'm a bit uncomfortable with this passage:
"which pointed out errors of fact, evidence of entrenched left-wing bias, and in particular bias against Israel at the public broadcaster."  
Sounds POVish.  I'd like to replace it with "which pointed out errors of fact and perceived evidence of entrenched left-wing and anti-Israeli bias at the public broadcaster."

message: It's been a few years since I lived in Canada, so I may have missed the "salacious article" re the Governor General by the unnamed NP gossip columnist.  Can anyone enlighten me? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Isoruku (talk • contribs) 21:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removed Contribution 

message: I Googled "National Post" because it was cited in a Saturn ad, and I wanted to see if it was a real newspaper since I hadn't heard of it (and frankly, to a non-Canadian, "National Post" sounded made up).  The blurb under the heading for this article in the list of search results starts "The National Post is a pro-Israeli Canadian English-language national newspaper based in..." (bold style added for emphasis), which seems to be a relic of some previous vandalism.  The article seems to have been fixed, but apparently Google is using an old (vandalized?) version as a reference, so everyone who Googles it sees the "pro-Israeli" nonsense.  Anyone know how to fix that? 67.211.128.98 (talk) 00:58, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

TORONTO - Bloomberg reports that the National Post will likely be forced to close as early as Friday if it isn't transferred to a different holding company, according to a Canwest court filing.
The closure would affect more than 200 employees.
The court filing said the paper has never generated a profit and continues to suffer significant losses, more than $60-million in fact over the last four years.
Canwest is currently in bankruptcy protection and wants to shift the paper to a unit called Canwest Limited Partnership.
There will be a crucial court hearing on the matter, Friday. BashBrannigan (talk) 19:12, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Is Post closing???

message: For the record, the Post only suspended the Monday edition for a couple months in the summer of 09. I don't believe this is notable enough to include, I'm only mentioning it because an editor had mistakenly edited that the Post no longer published on Monday.

thread_title:  Sued 

message: I've removed the paragraph below because (a) the Aspers no longer have anything to do with the company, and the closure rumours have ceased at least until an IPO of Postmedia; and (b) the amount of money the paper is losing is less now -- $9.3M vs. $15M. I've noted that in the text. 
The Post continues to lose money – financial analysts estimate annual losses at about $15 million – and rumours persist that the Aspers will close down the Post due to its lack of profitability. Others believe, however, that the Aspers will keep the newspaper going in order to have a political voice in Canada, notably on issues such as Israel. The Post today operates under the editorial direction of David Asper.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.159.90 (talk) 14:52, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Out of date 

message: Why does the article say this: "Today the Post has to some extent abandoned this ideology that gave the Post a distinct voice and loyal readership.[citation needed] Many of its rival papers, meanwhile, have copied its unique design and layout features."
No evidence of either of these claims, nor of the 'distinct voice and loyal readership' bit.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.85.173 (talk) 17:06, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: criticism

message: Is this page being updated?  The Editor in chief listed hasn't been - for months. Someone should write about whats happening here, its implications & fallout. The columnists page is not accurate. Elizabeth Nickson is a colorful example left out in it's entirety.

message: I have a screenshot of them having disabled a comment I made reusing the word someone in my previous post--"demonic," but that the previous comment was left alone.  The bias here is about as flagrant as it comes.  The previous poster was pro-Israel, while I was criticizing Israel.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 19:24, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Far-Right Bias

message: In RfC: Globe and Mail infobox there was consensus that "political position" should be removed, based on Template:Infobox newspaper ("For use only when a newspaper has formally aligned its news coverage with a political party or movement. Do not use the infobox for allegations of bias or descriptions of the opinion page."). I believe the same applies for National Post so its political position should be removed from the infobox. which has the effect of reverting an 11 August 2022 edit by Luxphos. Are there other opinions? Peter Gulutzan (talk) 17:59, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Political position in infobox 

message: I have added citations to sources which track political bias in Canadian media.  At least 1 citation was the same as that used for political alignment cited for the Toronto Sun. Lucis-Phos (talk) 21:00, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The change didn't have an effect that was visible to me but I reverted. This was already discussed in the thread immediately above this = Political position in infobox (in fact I see no need for making a new section). Perhaps it could be discussed again, but so far I'm the only person who has pointed to recommended procedure and related consensus. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 15:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your response Peter Gulutzan. I see your point. Will you support removing  “Political Affiliation” in the infobox for all newspapers on Wikipedia? Cheers Lucis-Phos (talk) 13:56, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I'm sure some newspapers really do have formal alignments, and getting involved with all newspaper articles would be too much for me. You brought up the Toronto Sun and I looked at the citation for it (https://www.worldpress.org/about.cfm) and I think it's poor sourcing due to the admission of "self-published" or "activist" contributions, so maybe I'll look at it later.
