VOCM’s newsroom is taking a massive step downward with a headline on the Liberal leadership. On Friday, Dwight Ball stepped down as interim leader. The caucus will decide his replace – officially – at a meeting they’ll hold in a couple of weeks.
The entire VO story consists of these few sentences under the headline “Liberal Party Leaderless”:
Dwight Ball has submitted his resignation as lnterim Leader of the Liberal Party. Ball is joining business leaders Paul Antle and Cathy Bennett, MHA Jim Bennett, and former MHA Danny Dumaresque in the race. Party president Judy Morrow says the process should ensure a strong, united party in the next general election. Voting will take place in November.
So either VO is now openly employing the Sun and Fox News stylebook in the newsroom or someone at VOCM is applying for a job as a government communications director.
