Ghost of a flea

No one who works for the Post is unaware that many Muslims feel antipathy toward a newspaper that is officially pro-Israel and, in practice, generally skeptical of Canadian multiculturalism. It seems to occur to none of them to muck in and start up their own Daily Jihad that reflects the opposing views. Perhaps the Muslim world just doesn't have enough oil wealth sitting around idle to underwrite such a thing. Maybe they're content with the way the good old Star handles the task. Whatever the case, you'll notice Awan uses the "national" scale attained and defended by some media as an argument that they must, in essence, share the wealth. Because they're successful, and have shown themselves capable of reaching out to readers who hold many different political and personal philosophies, they are required to cede the editorial judgment that led to that success, and abandon their own operating philosophies in favour of becoming mere venues for identitarian argument.
