Smallc Posted September 8, 2010 Report Posted September 8, 2010 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/tom-clark-leaves-ctv/article1698419/ I hope he gets a good position somewhere else. He SHOULD have got the top job. Quote
capricorn Posted September 8, 2010 Report Posted September 8, 2010 Forty years with CTV? I didn't think Clark was that old. Apparently he retired. I can see him freelancing but I don't see him full time on any network, including the embryonic SunTV. Jane Taber <gag> hosted Power Play tonight. The more I see her, the more I think I'll check out Solomon on the CBC. The lesser of two evils. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
Smallc Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) I know...what a choice between the two lol. She isn't permanent. I'm not sure he's retired...and I'm not sure that he isn't going to SunTV. Edited September 8, 2010 by Smallc Quote

Jack Weber Posted September 8, 2010 Report Posted September 8, 2010 I know...what a choice between the two lol. She isn't permanent. I'm not sure he's retired...and I'm not sure that he isn't going to SunTV. I wonder what Luky is going to say if that happens??? I know that Clark used to be on CFTO in Toronto...I did'nt know that he started 40 years ago! Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
waldo Posted September 8, 2010 Report Posted September 8, 2010 I hope he gets a good position somewhere else. He SHOULD have got the top job. uhhh... idle speculation has Clark turning up on CBC to replace Mansbridge... after Fox News North offers Mansbridge that which he no longer can refuse. Apparently, the current 'fly in the ointment' holding all this back, is that Harper doesn't want Mansbridge to anchor Fox News North Quote
Smallc Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Posted September 8, 2010 I just hope that Tom Clark gets a good top anchor job somewhere. He was expected by many to get the job at CTV. He didn't, and someone far less capable got it instead. Quote
M.Dancer Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 couldn't care less. I could...and will Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
Smallc Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Posted September 9, 2010 Apparently, he wasn't the one who chose to leave: http://thestar.blogs.com/politics/2010/09/tom-clarks-departure-not-his-idea-.html Quote

Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Smallc Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Posted September 9, 2010 I'm wondering the same thing. I do now one thing. He has covered more than most of us will ever see, and he's done a good job at pretty much all of it. Quote
Smallc Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Posted September 9, 2010 I don’t know why Lisa Laflamme got the job. I do know that CTV’s original plans were for Lisa and Tom to co-host the news. Where that went awry I don’t know. http://hlbtoo.wordpress.com/ Quote

msdogfood Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 http://hlbtoo.wordpress.com/ he has to large an ego for that!!. Quote

He was Not impartial at all!!. Quote
Smallc Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Posted September 9, 2010 He was Not impartial at all!!. I suppose you're going to accuse him of being conservative. There is a poster here a blog that calls him too liberal. That's how you know someone is impartial. Quote

msdogfood Posted September 11, 2010 Report Posted September 11, 2010 And why is that? he indicted his view oh the show a lot more than he needed to!! Quote
Jack Weber Posted September 11, 2010 Report Posted September 11, 2010 I'd have to see evidence of that.... Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
betsy Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Forty years with CTV? I didn't think Clark was that old. Apparently he retired. I can see him freelancing but I don't see him full time on any network, including the embryonic SunTV. Jane Taber <gag> hosted Power Play tonight. The more I see her, the more I think I'll check out Solomon on the CBC. The lesser of two evils. I like Evan Solomon. As for Tom Clark, I was not too impressed with him....lately (especially around the time of the Guergis affair), he seemed biased. His bias was compounded when he gave an inaccurate statement while "grilling" a Conservative MP. Clark, in his argument, stated that the Conservatives reported that insider deal scandal (around election time with Harper vs Martin) to the RCMP....when in fact, it was the NDP who reported it. Clark did not even acknowledge his mistake when the Conservative MP corrected him on that...Clark just let it slide. That is irresponsible journalism. That was when I started tuning in to Solomon. Solomon is fair and I like the way he tackles an issue. Edited September 14, 2010 by betsy Quote
Smallc Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Except that Solomon doesn't tackle issues at all. He simply lets everything go by. Edited September 14, 2010 by Smallc Quote
Smallc Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Posted September 8, 2011 So Tom Clark will now be on Global: http://www.globalnews.ca/tom+clark+joins+global+news/6442476309/story.html Quote
Smallc Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Posted October 14, 2011 The new Sunday political show on Global was supposed to start Sunday...but I can't find anything about it. Quote
capricorn Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) The new Sunday political show on Global was supposed to start Sunday...but I can't find anything about it. The link in the post previous to yours says Sunday, October 16. Can't see why it wouldn't go ahead. Edited October 15, 2011 by capricorn Quote "We always want the best man to win an election.
