Two weeks ago the National Post newspaper sent us an e-mail gleefully banning our reporters from setting foot on the grounds of the Alberta Legislature.
No explanation. No appeal. We weren’t invited to the secret witch trial. They just banned us.
After two weeks of action by Rebel News, faced with a massive boycott and a Competition Bureau lawsuit, they blinked.
Not only did Postmedia disavow their own letter banning us, they actually ordered all of their own reporters to quit the Alberta Press Gallery themselves! And — even more delicious — they ordered their sullen reporters to just shut up about it, and to stop promoting censorship!
