O/T: National Post - Friedman vs. Mundell ... & holding Cdn Business Writers accountable

Sorry for the 'many' posts today, but the National Post is running a feature debate on 'exchange rate' management policy between Nobel laureates American monetarist Milton Friedman and Canada's own Robert Mundell. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but it looks good. See the following link:

nationalpost.com

BTW, there has been fairly consistent sentiment expressed amongst Wi-LAN investors about, well, 'shoddy' reporting on Wi-LAN by the national press - and in particular the National Post.

Perhaps it would be an interesting idea to set up a forum either on SI or S/H devoted to expressing opinions on national business/technology reporters - a means of holding them accountable if you will.

In any event, here's my initial shortlist of 'very good' and 'very bad':

1 - Globe&Mail, Matthew Ingram - very good

2 - National Post, Patrick Bloomfield - very good

3 - Canadian Business, Andrew Wahl - very good

4 - National Post, Duncan Stewart - highly dubious

Anyone care to comment on the quality of work of these, or other, Canadian business/tech writers?

glenn :)
