Best Canadian Blog
2004 - 2007
Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

“He’s our only president. We all want him to do well”
Rush Limbaugh’s four words on obama’s upcoming term after he was immaculated:
“I hope he fails”
Which words ring true, today?

Limousine liberals like Zukerman NEVER learn, and it seems that New York Jews like him also are willfully blind if he can’t see this administration’s overt animus toward Israel.
“No media bias here, now move along, folks.”
I recommend everyone read the article “The New Media Template: Influence Policy, Control the Narrative and Celebrate the Death of Objective Journalism”. It’s at Breitbart.com News, in the BigJournalism section. It’s a very long URL, so I got a Tinyurl, http://tinyurl.com/2f2aq23
The title encapsulates the article, which comes with many links, for those who want to read in depth on any of the points or historical allusions the writer makes. Don’t you think it’s fair and accurate to say that Mort Zuckerman “influenced policy, worked to control the narrative and defacto celebrated the death of objective journalism”?
Zukerman wrote one speach. Who wrote the others? You can be certain it wasn’t Oblamebush, he’s never written anything in his life. I wonder who wrote his college papers.
Speaking of media “bias”, Al Gore’s minions are aghast that the WSJ has the temerity to tell the truth about the Muir Inquiry.
WUWT has the story . . .

The Gorebots have provided a nice online email form where people can tell the WSJ what they think.

So nice of them to make it so easy to send an email to the WSJ telling them what a scam artist Al Gore really is.
As someone who has watched and read zuckerman for years I think he is very much on the right side of the dem party on fiscal and foreign affairs issues and a very liberal dem on race issues – something he has in common with a lot of Jewish dems. He is very much a scoop Jackson democrat like another well known and highly respected commentator Victor Davis Hanson.
Unlike Hanson who is a registered dem but hasn’t voted for a dem POTUS for years, Zuckerman was blinded by the post-racial stance of Obama and the dream of electing a black POTUS. Zuckerman was certainly not alone in this folly and if he and those like him are honest with themselves, they will admit that they did it for their own glory – that they did it for their own narcissistic reasons.
Zuckerman and many others have now come to their senses. And the downward spiral in Obama’s approval ratings continues.
What I am looking for is a prominent black commentator to break ranks with Obama sometime in the next few months – Juan Williams perhaps. Obama’s volte face on school vouchers – siding with the teachers unions (quelle surprise) – really poed a lot of blacks. If one or more publically opposes BO, expect a collapse in the rock solid support blacks continue to give him in the polls.
Finally,
we have the truth for Chris Matthews trembling leg tingles.
When you see sermingly intelligent members of the establishment buy into the whole hopey-changey mythos, you realize that statist utopian dreamers have a nexus point with inner-city perennial welfare culture.
One believes In Obama divinity creating the perfect world, the other believes in the Obama tribalistic magic making all their entitlement dreams come true.
Together these broad spectrum beliefs in sympathetic magic in political leadership displays an overall degenerative process gripping a once fiercely independent and self reliant people who now feel so “owned” by big government, that they now see it as their saviour and redeemer.
Sad really.

I only have a problem with this if the New York Daily News pretends to be objective. If it’s explicity partisan, I don’t mind.
If I ran a newspaper (my fantasy, BTW, dinosaurs notwithstanding) it would be explicitly rightist/conservative, and I would make no bones about it, and I’d write speeches for President Palin if she wanted me to.
(I’d always assumed that the greatest presidential Orator since Lincoln wrote his own speeches, but hey, go know.)
It’s the pretend neutrality of organizations like CNN which p*sses me off.
“Another Big 3 network laying off more staffers”
2010 July 12 by Kathy Shaidle
““My understanding is that the cuts are coming this month. I’ve heard this from the highest level,” says one producer. If the cuts are made, it will be the third major round of layoffs at the network since 2008. In February, 75 staffers lost their jobs. This time, though, it could be the business side’s turn under the axe. “I can’t imagine there’s another 75 people to whack on the news side,” the producer said.”
Not Waiting at all, at all.

Writing one speech for Obamugabe is hardly earth shaking. Seamlessly restringing the puppets worn out control lines unnoticed before they break, priceless.
Mort Zuckerman:
Obama is not a Democrat . Thats the coat he hides in. Call him what he is politically. A communist. Period. Of the Islamic persuasion.
Good Catch Kate.

PRESS MAN: Don’t Give Readers What They Want by Andrew Ferguson at Commentary Magazine.
Great article on Newsweek‘s lack of patience for the Asteroid. It has an even better ending.
“Of course, it is now an article of faith in the magazine business that readers don’t want this at all. Immersed as they are in round-the-clock cable TV and websites, they don’t need a rehash of events a week old. I’m a fuddy-duddy, world class, but I’m not so sure. It’s true that most journalists have fixed themselves to the info-teat of their iPhones’ Twitter feeds. A rather smaller percentage of normal people live this way, and the presumption that the desires and tastes of journalists are identical to those of their customers is one of the many mistakes that brought Meacham and his colleagues to their present pickle.
Meanwhile, the most successful weekly magazine in the English-speaking world is the Economist, and one of the most successful magazine start-ups of the recent past has been the Week. Both offer readers, among much else, a rehash of the past week’s events. Donald Graham might want to give them a second look.”
