Some Bigots Are More Equal Than Others

Or, as Kathy Shaidle likes to say, “Journalists – our moral and intellectual superiors!”
(Great work, Richard)
Update: I’m told that CTV.ca has quietly cut the offending portion from the tape on their online site. Not that there was anything wrong with it! **** Update 2: Or did they? Others tell me the segment is now intact.

  3. Att: Robert Fife and CTV news,
    To say that my husband and I are outraged is an understatement.
    You, sir, in one fell swoop by denigrating members of the Conservative party, have shown yourself to be a bigot.
    You not only vilified the Conservative govt., but you also denigrated Conservative voters who elected these so-called “Knuckle Draggers”.
    Are we “Knuckle Draggers” Mr. Fife?
    I’m a grandmother and when I got up this morning, my knuckles were not dragging on the ground.
    Bob Fife, you were not content to stay focused on the Lukiwski affair.
    We out here had NOTHING to do with it and yet…WE GET DRAGGED INTO this…
    Your muckraking has hit US in the face.
    Our opinion of you Mr. Fife is that you are no longer a credible news reporter.
    Why?
    Because you are spewing hatred towards a group of people.
    You, yourself BECAME the one thing you were reporting on …intolerant.

  4. I just finished contacting all of ctv’s sponsors to inform them that I will be boycotting their products as long as they advertise on ctv.I let them know that I’ll be urging like minded individuals to do the same.Should be interesting to see if I get a response.

  5. Heh,Rogers contacted me already,letting me know that they received my complaint and that a rep will be getting back to me.Nothing like the bottom line to catch these companies attention.

  6. What bothers me about the CTV coverage is the high profile that the network has given to this story.
    Since this was a 17 year old tape presumably recorded after a group of mostly young people had too much to drink, one would think that it should only have been a story at all if Tom Lukiwiski had refused to apologize. Since he apologized immediately, that should have been the end of the story.
    It is the media that has allowed Scott Brison and the Liberals to make this a bigger story than it deserves to be. Brison has his own agenda and it is not aimed at giving the Conservative Party good publicity.
    Gee, one might even get the impression that the media has its own agenda?

  11. So, CTV’s going to get Bill Graham to apologize for his affair with an 15 year old male prostitute because he was “of an age” and as a lawyer and professor he should have known better?
    Double frigging standard!

  12. On last night’s Michael Coren show, one of the panelists, “activist” Sam Merulla (?), stated that persons who are not in favour of gay marriage are mentally ill and in need of “re-education”. Jeez, shades of Mao. Coren and the other panelists, Laura Babcock & Clair Hoy, were outraged. Sam whathisname tried to backtrack once he realized what he’d said, but Coren kept hammering at him. Unfortunately, just as Hoy was about to let fly, it was time for the half-time break and a change of topic.
    This is the left’s thinking, similar to Soviet Russia and today’s China, where if you have a contrary opinion, you must have a mental illness and therefore deserve to be in an asylum. Hasn’t China done something akin to that recently with a dissident?
    I’ll bet some of those sanctimonious NDP, Liberal & MSM types would love to have that power.

  13. Arthur A? Arthur A? Isn’t he some comic character on some CBC kiddie show?
    Skip….you must realize by know that it is IMPOSSIBLE to explain logic,etc,to a leftard. There is NO,ZERO,ZILCH,NADA,emotion involved in logics,and the leftards are ONLY about emotions.

  14. First of all, it was outrageous that this was the lead story. When Lloyd finally got around to the story about the terrorist plot on flights over the Atlantic, he said that two Air Canada flights were targeted with the potential of loss of hundreds of Canadian lives. What about the American Airlines CTV? This so called national brodcaster is a disgrace. I know it is amusing for people in Toronto to hear about how goofy we are on the west coast. During the last provincial election, nothing controversial really was happening and I noticed that the msm did not do any coverage. Finally, with just a day or so to go before the election, Sandra Jensen on the newsnet (eyes bulged out in horror) that there were charges of racism!!! Horrors. What really occured was a bit of a dust up between Daniel Igali and a Sikh candidate. Gordon Campbell of the Liberals said he knew the NDP wouldn’t be behind anything like that, and Carol James of the NDP said she knew the Liberals would not be responsible for anything like that. Of course, for the amusement of Toronto viewers, CTV didn’t qualify that. As for the local CTV news, they are thrilled if it snows so they have something to talk about. I have given up on the media, they don’t report stories that should be told; either they are lazy or have a “hidden agenda”. I suspect both. Enough is enough.

  15. ‘Called CTV, ‘had to leave a voice message as “it’s the weekend,” said the actual human being I first spoke to.
    ‘Emphasized Mr. Fife’s consummate lack of professionalism as a journalist. ‘Didn’t go ballistic. ‘Figured that a measured response, emphasizing Fife’s biased, bigoted, and unprofessional report was more effective than saying what I actually felt like saying: “Bobby Fife is a *%$#@!@!#$$%!$##@ SOB and a KNUCKLE DRAGGER OF THE FIRST DEGREE!!!!!!”
    Such restraint. ‘Wouldn’t be a bad idea if Fife and co. learned how to do it. But, if you’re a hanger-on in the court of the Natural Ruling Party, I guess being an entitled idiot is part of the gig.
