The editor has made some pretty bizarre statements in his editorials. The first odd one I noticed was when he made some reference to Union Bay residents who voted against something. "God help the residents who............" as though giving the green light to single out those who could be viewed as responsible.
A few months ago, he stated his preference regarding credibility of three elected officials, choosing one and casting doubt on the character of the remaining two. He failed to provide his reasoning in passing judgement on the two individuals.
I couldn't help noticing today, the editor replied to a person who referred to the Record as a 'rag'. The editor responded and advised the poster he was wrong and that the poster owed the Record an apology.
The funny thing is, the editor is claiming the headline and story clearly stated the postal workers were 'locked' out, not 'walked' off as the poster had complained.
It's obvious the editor is not being truthful. Right under the poster's comments and the editor's is the original headline which clearly states "Canada Post Employees in Courtenay and Comox Walked Off The Job Tuesday Morning".
The editor or 'someone' changed the headline but forgot the link still displayed the original headline.
How petty is that?
Here's the editor's response to the poster:
Here's the screenshot, just in case they change it.
