TheDC obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act request.

About Kate
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."

I hope decent Americans work to have their tax free status revoked, it's clear they are a liberal lobby group.
I thought Holder was impeached? Ahh, executive privilege...forgot. The Obama administration is criminal. If Bush had ever contacted a conservative 'think tank', and I use that word loosely considering I'm talking about that virus media matters, he's be excoriated in the press. I'm sure katie Couric would have an expose on the violation of trust. Yet, Bam-Bam runs along....sad really. I hope the voters are smarter than this garbage.
Not surprising given what can happen when you post anti-mohamed videos on youtube.
Scarcely surprising, given that both media Matters and the Obama administration are in the pocket of George Soros.
The corrupt media is on trial here and they know it. They are ``all in ``on Obama.THEY will be destroyed by this election when he comes up an ace short. Journalism classes will be taught on this self-inflicted disaster. Prescient PHD candidates are prepping their theses now.
This ain`t the ``new Coke `` mistake.
Holder was cited for contempt and ordered by the court to hand over the documents. Than Obama moved in and cited 'executive privilege' to retain the documents. Then the House filed a civil case against Holder for contempt and it's, to my knowledge before the courts.
Obama is a Teflon Man; nothing sticks to him; he just smiles and waves and says whatever comes into his empty chair 'mind'. And the American people let him get away with it.
A Liberal said what?

Now i am truley shocked and that will make the harper govornment look bad. even though i know they were looking at this before it was announced publicly!!
Unfortunately, Gov. Romney would never think (nor would his advisors ever allow him to think) to run against the Media Party. Too often he looks like Charlie Brown naively believing that the Katie Courics and Soledad O'Briens will actually let him kick the football.
Presidential pardon if Obama loses, millionaire fascist if Obama wins...
well, millionaire either way probably...
That's why the media party is trying to label Romney "out of touch. They're desperate to preserve their narrative.
He needs to call the media party "out of touch" like 1950's out of touch, if you look at their own bottom line.
Mitt needs to renounce the media party/ progressive narrative now, when they call him mentioning the 47% that pay no taxes, a "gaff" he's got them standing in the open with their pants down.
It's not a gaff, it's the truth no longer spoken by the out of touch and gutshot MSM.
Blow them up Mitt and win.
This is reminiscent of when the Liberal party was unravelling under Mr. Martin's watch; New scandals almost weekly, the media jilting their lover, the sound of knives being sharpened...
Panic among the DemocRats as their great ship of state goes up on the rocks.
Listen to the squeaking.
This will be the headline news at CNN, MSNBC, and CBC..right???
otterdriver...until that happens I hear crickets, not knives sharpening.
So the Liberals demand MP pension reform a couple days after the Conservative caucus already agreed to it. Idiots.
@scar
LOL!
Did not, your agent write that there is "narrative central"?
There you have it.
You're welcome.
Who will be hurt more by this: Holder or Obama?
Obama- "The Teflon Don"- will do his utmost to make sure that bus really runs Holder over.
Collusion between the left and the media?
nah... impossible!
Someone discovered cut and paste I see.
On another note; Bluetech, I stand corrected. It is crickets...the knives will be along shortly.
