Cosgrove fired?
Bourque.org, Canada’s answer to The Drudge Report, is running an item that says Mr. Bourque overheard two Ottawa journalists talking about how National Post columnist Gillian Cosgrove was fired for her libelous column about Canada’s Governor General. (Read all about the column here.)
Here’s an excerpt from the exchange on Bourque’s site:
"Did you hear about Gillian Cosgrove?, asks the one from the
tabloid.
"Over at the Post?", replies the one from the broadsheet.
"In a manner of speaking", says Tabloid, "the paper dropped her today.
She’s gone."
"A shame", notes Broadsheet, she’s a good writer, but that thing about
Queen Adrienne was over the top, wasn’t it."
Tabloid shrugs. "I think Queen Adrienne’s over the top".
For what it’s worth, Cosgrove is still listed as a columnist on the Post site, but there are no recent columns. Anyone have a definitive answer?
