The news individual I have chosen is Jesse Mclean, a staff reporter for the Toronto Star.  Mclean tends to lean toward the comedic sides of news stories, making them entertaining though satire of laws and events.  One recent example of this is “Girl, 15, smokes as driver gets $155 ticket”.  Personally, I enjoy reading his articles more than others; however I have found a slight bias.  My one criticism is that he often takes only the negative parts of a story, and leaves out the positive qualities, often when secretly ridiculing a law, for example.  Unfortunately, this can give a bad impression on many subjects, and be inaccurate at worst.  Often a “spinner of the truth”, it would be more appropriate if he wrote editorials instead of reporter style articles.  However, recreational value in a paper helps sales, so this method may be the result of pressure in this area.
