Bill Brioux returned to the Sun today, if only for a Jim Slotek review of his new Truth and Rumors book.
Bill and Jim, friends for 20 years, were colleagues when Quebecor cutbacks left Bill on the outside looking in last year.
We thought we'd never see Brioux's name in the Sun again because of the politics involved in his forced departure in January of 2007. Other papers, like the Star, but not the Sun.
But there it is in the Sunday Sun in an honest and not always flattering Slotek review of Truth and Rumors: The Reality Behind TV's Most Famous Myths.
Slotek describes Bill as "one the best television critics on the continent."
We'll second that emotion and say Ben Mulroney be damned, bring Bill Brioux back to Sun Media, where he belongs.
