Say It Isn't So, Joe!

So Biden's son was given the boot from the Navy after one month and we find out 16 months later? Great job, media. http://t.co/S9YFR1EcBx

So long as the surname's not "Palin", it's all good.

Or Obama, whose close relatives are living as illegal aliens on welfare in Boston.

I don't remember the media reporting that he needed a waiver to get in because of a prior cocaine charge either.

It isn't always a question of incompetence, but complicity.

The son is a coke-head. What is dad's excuse?

Kate's point is the critical one. How long would it have taken for the media to have highlighted a story about Track Palin being turfed from the military for cocaine use? And how much coverage and what sort of coverage would the story have received?

AP, NYT, WaPo, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, CBC, CTV etc. are, collectively, a far bigger threat to the West than ISIS.

Biden is an ass, so it is no surprise his son couldn't last in the navy. When you see someone like him, in such an important position, it is hardly a surprise that the country is in decline.

And yes indeed, the press south of us selectively report news just like the Canadian press does. The Canadian left-wing press in particular are terrified of JT making gaffs and are twisting themselves into pretzels to try and find a way to get around the problem.

Too busy encircling the home of the mayor of Toronto.

Joe Biden looks like an ass, he may be the sole reason Obama has avoided impeachment.

I know the subject here is media connivance.
But jeez if your old man was on the tube every night sounding like he spent his formative years sniffing glue its bound to have consequences.

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."
