  1. Also: watching baseball on my mlb.com the other night and “Friends of the CBC” was on heavy replay with their campaign ad directed at the Harper govt.

  2. Try living in Kitchener.
    The K-W Record is on a daily Harper hate-fest…
    and Trudeau love-fest
    Of cusre it is a Torstar rag
    Waste of $17 a month…
    Gawd I wish my wife would let me cancel it!!!
    BTW…she also thinks Justin is a twit

  3. I thought that one reason the PM called an early campaign was to eliminate third-party campaigning.

  4. CBCpravda has been on the Justine campaign for years .
    in fact they called him prime minister material as his fathers funeral . an early empty suit. CBC thinks that like Obama , if he can read a speech he has brains. funny thing they never thought that of the most famous actor to take the throne , Ronald Reagan , if fact at the time they always said he was just a speech reader and an actor .

  5. And the surprise is????
    Harper & Co. Could turn it around by prefacing answers to the press with a statement or question of their own.

  6. The CBC’s involvement is the most troubling. They’re no different than a public sector union that campaigns in an election. At least public sector unions tell us were they stand and make no bones about who they oppose; there’s no ambiguity there. I wish CBC journos would be as forthright and upfront. CBC should be barred from covering all federal election campaigns because of their glaring conflict of interest, standing to gain millions from the defeat of the CPC when the next budget is presented by Libs, NDP or a coalition of the two. With more funding for them, how could that not possibly colour their news coverage of this election??

  7. CTV is not even trying to disguise their mendacity.
    The sneering announcers, creative use of camera shots, washed out hippies singing protest songs..
    They are desperate , I wonder if the owners of these media can connect the dots, viewers move on from such pathetic hatred, you cannot keep insisting that the voters are stupid, while you attempt to shove your beliefs down their throats.
    I mean Raffi for Gods sake, such lame electioneering is embarrassing.
    Can we get free air time for some old conservative to Sing: Get your paws back in your own pocket?
    Harper derangement syndrome is actually quite funny, but I doubt it gives much credibility to claims of honest reporting.
    I actually wonder if the conservatives moving their position until they are now Chretien Liberals, is just their way of blowing the Libtards minds.
    Unfortunately it is also blowing my patience, why continue to contribute to this kleptocracy.
    Your property is not yours, you just pay rental on it until one of your intellectual superiors has need of it.

  9. Interesting. I don’t know how long it’s been since there has been a baseball game on CBC. They perhaps should have run the ads on a cycling or netball site.

  10. What does Glenn Reynolds call them? Democratic operatives with bylines? Up here they are Liberal/NDP operatives with bylines….

  11. Watching the National last night, it sure seemed that the CBC were desperately trying to hang Harper with something from the Duffy trial and the evidence of Nigel Wright. They went back to an interview that Mansbridge has with Harper back in 2004 I think it was.

  12. And more importantly they are citizens who vote, which means they’re biased. Maybe we should take away their right to vote. Or maybe we just shouldn’t have journalists?
    Stoopidest argument ever.

  13. The bias is official and there should bee as deep a distrust of MSM as of politicians – bit that was a different dimension before the indoctrinated zombie voter was manufactured – no amount of corruption puts them off, they do what they are programmed to do.

  14. What’s the name of the CTV anchor? I remember he was started as a n0-nothing sports news reader and slowly moved into more of a news reader regular. Haven’t really watched C.T.V for a long time and came across him while moving away from Mansbridge, poor guy he knows there isn’t any network he could survive in which will pay him a one Million a year.
    Anyways this CTV news reader made a face when P.M. Harper’s name was mentioned. Not sure if this is just part of the CTV programming Policy or it is necessary to grimace when anything about the Conservatives is mentioned. I might say one thing about sports reporting; Y’all know someone isplaying a great game when the “in the Tank” fans start booing. Probably this was not evident for the anchor news reader.

  16. Stoopidest comment ever.
    How could you rely on any entity that allies themselves officially with a political doctrine. Individually they can believe what they wish but as a public entity their only policy should be to report the unvarnished truth. Their professionalism in their chosen field should enable them to keep their personal feelings out of it.

  20. Duffy coverage:
    CBC.. They have gone MSNBC freaky…..wild speculation without a reasonable path to a conclusion..Megyn Kelly on steroids.
    CTV was actually level and Sane

  21. A little rich trying to equate the Adscam scandal with the bloated Duffy story. So Nigel Wright shifted into damage control and recklessly gave away 90k. I’ve never seen such a stretch for a charge of “bribery.” There’s no substance. I’ve seen judges go into a hissy-fit for prosecutors bringing cases with clearly more evidence than this.
    Oh yeah. And Martin didn’t know a thing about Adscam Mansssbridge would like us all to believe. (Re 2004 video shown) Adscam was corruption involving 10s of millions of taxpayers money funnelled to friends of Libs. Compare that to a 90k gift of personal money in a clumsy attempt to deflect a can of worms guaranteed by an adverse corrupt media. Doesn’t even come close!
    Unless I’m missing something, considering the well highlighted ambiguity of the Senate rules, I can’t imagine that there’s much substance to most of the Fraud charges as well. If Duffy gets convicted, I’d have to expect there’d be several others that might share a cell with him in the end. It’s seems it’s just media hype and the propagandized human cry that followed, which led to this – justice must be seen as being done -phenomenon.

  22. Oh. And BTW. Next time your Liberal friends spout off about Harper via Duffy corruption, ask them to provide you with a detailed explanation about it. You’ll no doubt hear crickets.

  24. This could be a conflict of interest only if Harper and his staff, in the beginning, had conspired with Duffy for him to defraud the public purse. That way the so-called “coverup” (Wright paying out the $90,000.00) would have had significant implications. My point was to emphasize the absence of quid pro quo in the arrangement. Wright’s motive otherwise can only be, IMHO, to deflect the predictable tsunami of anti-conservative media spin, that would surely follow from any hint of financial impropriety on Duffy’s behalf. Not exactly kosher and very arguably underhanded, however had there been the use of public money in a coverup scheme, it would have taken on a totally different complexion. Refer to Adscam for example.
    Then when it’s discovered, as many of us suspected, that this expense fudging had been more widespread than just Duffy, by revisiting the genesis of this entire affair, the fact that Duffy was selected as the sole target, reveals the intent was to damage the CPC brand.
    In the end, this will hopefully discourage questionable expense claims in the future and may provide momentum to the paring down of the legislative branch of government.

  25. Look. Stephen Harper has decided that he rejects the idea of an open government. He hates all kind of information sharing. This is why he killed the long form census, has muzzled scientists, refuses to answer even the most basic unscripted questions from the press, and operates a government that is the most secretive in our history.
    No self-respecting journalist with even an ounce of integrity can look at such a government and not give them a rough ride. They’re just doing their jobs.

  26. Self respecting journalist?
    You missed the sarc tag me thinks.
    Or does that concept only apply when quasi conservatives hold office?
    Unionized hacks would be a more adequate descriptor for most of our media .
    By the way, can you cite any evidence for these muzzled scientists?
    If they were muzzled, how did they tell anyone?
    You do seem to be a rather MT skin of HDS talking points.

  27. Seriously? (That’s the latest buzz word)You just let the world know that you are pussy whipped and a(pick any letter after F using the Greek alphabet) male!

  28. “By the way, can you cite any evidence for these muzzled scientists?”
    John has a habit of contributing deranged comments. Basically flinging crap in the hope that some of it sticks then running for cover when asked to substantiate his rantings. The long form census was cancelled because Stephen Harper hates the sharing of information??? This is a perfect example of the mindless drivel that John loves to regurgitate. Actually the long form census was an expensive and completely useless exercise in creating jobs for bureaucrats and civil servants and the few Canadians who even knew of its existence don’t miss it.

  29. “Just doing their jobs.” With the equal vigor made famous during the Chretien reign. Dream on my friend. These guys have proven over and over again without a doubt that the Ryerson indoctrination cult remains a resounding success. There’s little if any independent thought or analysis beyond the progressive mindset. Your talking points are tiresome. The long form consensus was a resource used to concoct bread and circus diversions from real issues, and publicly paid scientists shouldn’t be provided a podium with which to perpetrate the global warming myth to further their personal empire building ambitions.

  30. I like all of the comments above, except for the propaganda from “John”, whomever she is (the Long-Form Census? Really?).
    The media’s obsession with picking pepper from fly manure (not only did Mr Harper’s bus driver, supposedly, park temporarily in a “bike lane”, whatever that is, but apparently the man himself accidentally spilled a glass of water, and his team released a tweet with an “i” missing) is not only a tactical mistake, actually, but it begs the simple strategic question: where do they go next?
    Mr. Wright will be on the stand for, maybe, a day or two longer. Mr. Bayne’s attack on Mr. Wright on Friday looked desperate, actually, accusing the latter of committing a “fraud” against “Canadian taxpayers”. Really? Who knew that my family’s contributions to the CPC over many years, according to law, were not allowed to be used by the CPC as it saw fit? Mr. Bayne, salaciously reported by the usual suspects, seems to believe that he, and he alone, can dictate to the CPC what constitutes a “legitimate expense”? Really?
    And Mr. Trudeau, Jr.’s remarks today, again salaciously reported by the usual suspects, about how Mr. Harper “should now” fire anyone outside “the vast majority” in his office, who allegedly knew about Mr. Wright’s cheque. Is that a suggestion, from a future partner in a Conservative-Liberal coalition government, or an indictment (“should have”) in a future partner in an NDP-Liberal coalition government?
    “Journalism is more important than ever”, apparently. What was it M. Buonaparte said again?
