Golden Gag
The award citation reads as follows:

"2008 GOLDEN GAG WINNER
CANWEST GLOBAL AND THE ASPERS
For their SLAPP suit against Mordecai Briemberg, with whose opinions they disagree. For pressing Mordecai to �name names� while they press on with their agenda to suppress the truth. For suing Mordecai for alleged participation in the production of a farcical parody of a daily newspaper while they participate in a daily farce producing a parody of a newspaper. For forgetting that freedom of speech is a right for everyone, and for showing a sense of humour about as deep as their compassion for the fate of Canadian journalism."

* This "SLAPP" (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) is being brought by Canwest in an effort to silence Mordecai Briemberg and create a chill among all critical journalists and political activists.
