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."

Yeah, I know live in my own bubble chamber, but seriously I read the remarks and thought ...well, nothing... basically pablum.
And yet in the MSM it becomes a big deal, really?
And forget this incident, why is Obama still even in the running? Given his record, incessant gaffes, and general incompetence he should be worried about being electable to dog catcher after November...and yet he's neck in neck.
So........this was CLEARLY an act of war, and it is ROMNEY that is the problem for pointing out the obvious of Obama sympathizing with the offense that Muslims over there feel BEFORE addressing this act?
Wowwwwwwwwww...............
I'm glad I'm not to old to have a serious crush on Megyn Kelly.
Megyn Kelly has a little progressive side, the Fox J-List member is even blushing.
These are not Journalist’s in a traditional sense; they think thier style of democracy is more important than the People. Just follow the bouncing ball
It won't be long until the News Operations start paying them Min-Wage for the Cut & Paste. No Journalist value added.
Kirsten Powers is even done slobbering for the ohe. Look up her record and you'll see she is a 100% Obama zombie or at least used to be. You watch eventually the others will turn. If this continues into next week the truth will start to leak out.
Quite so. I am astonished by the media's handling of this election. My work colleague, who escaped Yugoslavia under very exciting (if it were a movie) circumstances, agrees that this is how the media work under Communism. They attack the opposition.
Well of course you 'never let a crisis go to waste'; and if you don't have one, you let one bubble over.

The attack on Romney was just so far out in left field to be almost humourous. The MSM missed the whole point and end up looking like fools but they are the ones who do the reporting, so they hide it.
The earlier comment about how "journalists" operate under a Communist Dictatorship is both insightful and critically important.
During the 2008 American Presidential Election, it was very clear that "journalists" were very much pulling for Obama, both by publishing lies and through obfuscation. Then the "journolist" scandal erupted.
I submit that in 2012 it's even worse. It's so bad that if Obama had a prominent Rabbi and a Catholic Priest strung up on crosses on the White House lawn, *his* media would either ignore the story or explain it away. Then if Romney dared criticize this action, the media would only focus on what Romney said for weeks.
I wish I were exaggerating but I don't believe I am.
We are watching an economic superpower in retreat with a President who wants his own Country in dissolution. A citizenry in denial if not subconsciously impotent like the English as the British Empire crumbled. Having a death wish, addicted to others work & money.
Still thinking their free, when all about them the Constitution is being dismantled. The economy destroyed.
Canadians are even more stupid thinking Obama the Muslim(who can doubt it now?)is making America better. If not for Harper we would be in even worse straits. Think Dion.
This is not a fall, its a plunge from an airplane into ruin.
This blindness eventually will take us with it.
Mean while the OWS people are getting ready for a big push. The Muslims Western dupes in our Nations.
Union pawns for an already bloated civil service. Islams Marxist collaborators.
Like I said a long time ago, if the election looks like Obama will lose, it will be anarchy in the streets with any Democracy left, the fatal victim.
Obama is on the same level as Stalin for a personality cult status these days, by Media harlots so be spotted by him. They have lost all sense of reason with any judgement. No matter how incompetent or power hungry his actions.The press is his personal eraser He has his Alinsky hordes from years of socialist propaganda in what where learning centers at one time.
Particularly so called Journalism schools.
Most Americans with any sense are stocking up with arms. There will be another civil war, or perhaps just a break up of regions in the USA. But daily as American embassies start to burn World wide, even the most dense individuals will see this cabal has annihilated the Union for ideological reasons to do with hatred of their own culture. With an alliance with Islam.
On a separate Fox program that also had Kristen Powers on it ( she is a Democrat pundit who once dated Anthony Wiener…an interesting story there) and she seems to have had an epiphany ( becoming a neo-con like Roger Simon?) as she criticizes the media’s reaction to attacking Romney versus asking where was the POTUS and what are his answers on what is going on in the ME.
Powers suggests about the media…do they even care about what was actually unfolding in front of their eyes in the ME; instead of caring about the crisis you see the outrage from the media that the POTUS has been insulted while humans being murdered is secondary.
It seems that group-think progressives in the media are totally obsessed with process in the campaigns versus dealing with the reality of acts of war. But that’s what utopianism is all about….anything but deal with the real world. Our media and academia are tribes, not beheading anyone but very dangerous nevertheless. So before we criticize why Egypt hasn’t turned into Denmark after an election we need to look closer to home for tribal behaviour like these media types who have targeted Romney about process versus whether or not he was right or wrong in his judgment calls; it’s classic apparatchik behaviour.
Kristen Powers is a liberal who is really worried about liberal bias in the media….kudos to her.
Susan Rice, the word is orchestrated not hijacked.

This is yet one more nail in the coffin of the MSM. Everyday, more and more people are looking for alternative news sources to get away from the disgustingly obvious bias.
Here, I'll write next week's consensus media headlines for them -
"al-Qaida attacks second US embassy, Romney to blame"
Nawwwww I'm not psychic, just jaded.

The MSM knew the whole point,and hid it very well for the leftards to eat up,without having to hide anything from brain dead Obamamites.
Fixed that for ya.
So when the Israeli's do bomb the asses out of Iran,I only pray they do it in such a way as to make the Yanks look to be the one's to blame.With any luck,it'll be downtown DC and Hollywood this time.Fed up with the United Fascist/Muzzie States of NA.
The only way the media bias stops is by boycotting them. For some of the biased media, the only traffic or sales they get is conservatives checking to see their latest bias. Boycott, tune them out, spread the word. It is the only way they will stop.
"We are watching an economic superpower in retreat with a President who wants his own Country in dissolution."
Agree,RD,and I'd bet Soros and company are shorting the U.S. Obama-buck big time!
Rush was saying last week that one of his guests has stated privately that the MSM being all in for Obama is worth about 12 - 15 percent.
It's something for those within Fox News to think about when they're inundated with folks demanding they stop leaning right.
You see, there is this thing “Narrative Central”.
Narrative Central decides how to construct a narrative that will set up the fault of the republicans for today.
This is not a conspiracy theory, remember the journolist?
It is a fact..
It was proven by a montage of variety of mass media, repeating the same meme, often times, word for word.
Limbaugh illustrates that almost daily.
The wonders of email.
Sorry to post this here but I woulda Ike to here from people a.s.a.p. about the NHL lock out?
I will repost this in the comments and tips later as well .
Again sorry kate!!
The world as we knew it is crumbling all around us, but Paul from Calgary (who is spelling, punctuation and capitalization challenged) is worried about hockey.
It more or less sums up our predicament, doesn't it?

Don't be deceived by those "push-polls"....
That is their purpose to deceive.
It's called a sampling bias....
IOW polling Democrats more and then representing this as public opinion.
This occurred just before Reagan won a landslide, and HW Bush slammed Carter....it's a pattern...problem is the idiots interpret this as public opinion and then vote to be on the winning side. Just like the same fools who voted for OBOZO to prove to themselves they weren't racist and were educated/intelligent.
The critical thing is have we hit the tipping point?.....where the takers outnumber the givers...
There is hope when the Dems and their media allies behave so blatant.....it smells so like desperation.......
At the moment, according to Fox, "Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu makes case to US voters to elect leader who will draw 'red line' with Iran",
while according to CNN, what's that? nothing to see here, folks - oh yea, mean ol' NATO has killed some civilians in Afghanistan.
How they do it.

So if we focus on Mit's comments, I guess we should take into consideration the fact that HE GOT IT TOTALLY EFFING WRONG. No big deal.
What's comical about this whole "debate" is that Fox didn't even try to find somebody to take the other perspective.
And that's why when we're talking about bias in the media, Fox has to shut it's fool mouth.
(And dude in the video... it's not an act of war!!! It's a buncha extremists protesting in the street, NOT the government of the country. This is why the right is not in its right mind.)
Get on over to BNI, and check out the Wild Bill for America vid.. Excellent
John, if you're going to make a statement (Romney got it...wrong), perhaps you cold take a moment to illustrate by way specific example. Thank you in advance.
Secondly, Powers was the progressive voice on the panel, and even she couldn't defend the blatant bias in the lame stream media. You know it's bad when...
Go troll somewhere else. Fool.
The amateurish video was an excuse to carry out the violent protests not the catalyst for the protests and the CBC and CTV and to a lesser degree Global TV News continue to lead with a story about the Video being the cause of the Islamic protests.

Ok, thats better. All those spelling mistakes lend some much needed credibility to the your effort to look like a hapless idiot who can't speak english.
Kirsten Powers has had the blinders lifted from her eyes. Just watched her this morning on Fox and she is getting more and more disgusted with the administrations lying and obfuscating on the ME. I've now forgiven her for her misguided dating of Anthony "the idiot" Weiner. The Kool-Aid has all been flushed from her system now and we can only hope the same will eventually be true with the rest of the MSM. Not holding my breath by the way.
I must say this now: there is nothing progressive about liberals/leftists. I can't stress that enough. The term "progressive" is a lie. If they want bigger government and kow-towing to a useless appeaser like Obama, they are regressive.
I had to get that off my chest.
"I must say this now: there is nothing progressive about liberals/leftists. I can't stress that enough. The term "progressive" is a lie. If they want bigger government and kow-towing to a useless appeaser like Obama, they are regressive."
Just so we're clear, the US government and debt grew more under GWB than any other US president. He increased the size and scope of the US government radically. And Romney is proposing an increase in the military. (Psst. The military is part of the government, and so increasing its size is increasing the government.)
