Canadian Press, just starting to use the Internet
You can trust that bad reporting at Canadian Press will be repeated verbatim by Canada’s top papers
Satire with story from Canadian Press
“The Pirate Party was little-known anywhere in the world until earlier this year, when the four founders of Pirate Bay, a Swedish torrent tracker site that helped people find and download movies, music and software, were fined millions of dollars and sentenced to jail. Canadian Press
Only someone who awoke Rip Van Winkle could write the line “The Pirate Party was little-known anywhere in the world” in a news story that would be repeated without question by Canada’s journalistic sloths.
Anyone who is on the Internet knows The Pirate Bay. Founded in 2004, it is one of the 100 most popular websites in the world. There are more than 700 Google references to the site over the past five years.
They are asleep at Canadian Press and at rip-and-read newsrooms all across our great nation of Canada. Rest easy readers. You will not be disturbed by factual reporting. Pablum, half-truths and weak reporting will pass for the news.

Wow, this would have been insightful if you were talking about the same thing. The Pirate Party is different from the The Pirate Bay, and was actually a very-little-known political party outside of Sweden. It was only through the pirate bay trial that The Pirate Party gained international recognition.
So, nice try.

Way to provide a well researched article. Idiot.
