RIGHTEOUS, CONDESCENDING KINSELLA IN COURT

  Blatchford:  In the corner of goodness and light are Warren and Lisa Kinsella, canny political operatives, fighting against a right-wing, barely literate, cartoonish and altogether queasy-making local newsletter called Your Ward News (YWN).
   In the obvious darker one are James Sears and LeRoy St. Germaine, respectively the editor-in-chief and publisher of YWN.
  In his cross-examination of Warren Kinsella Tuesday, Murphy showed him a tweet he apparently retweeted in 2015. The original tweet, a blog of some sort, described Sears as a “neo-Nazi sex offender” and publicized his address, car and licence plate.
  Yet Kinsella insisted the alleged death threat was “completely unprovoked” and said unequivocally he would never tweet out such private information. Faced with his retweet of the original blog written by someone else, Kinsella said he’d merely tweeted the link to the blog and had never before read the actual article.
