I'll never understand why anyone would get their news from right-wing (and auto industry) mouth piece Pierre Bourque, but it defies explanation that the progressive blogosphere would ever visit Bourque's site.

So while folks consider boycotting Bell Globemedia properties including CTV (I already ignore Duffy), an even easier first step would be to stop gracing Pierre Bourque's page with your eyeballs and clicks. If what he writes and the headlines he twists and torques isn't enough of a reason to tune him out, consider that you are helping him make a living with every page visit.

So go on, you know you want to do it - remove your favorites bookmark for bourque.com right now. Do it now.

There, don't you feel better?
