Oh, Fuddle-Duddle

The Rebel story is spinning way out of government control.

“The government’s position is that if you have testified under oath that you are not a journalist, then we don’t consider you a journalist,” she said.
Oates’s comment refers to testimony given by Levant in a libel suit in 2014. He told the court that he was a commentator and a pundit, not a reporter.

You’ll note the deliberate ignoring of the word, ‘reporter’ in Levant’s statement and instead equate it with the much more general ‘journalist’.
I have to ask if Paul McLoughlin or the Armet’s qualify under these new definitions.
And then there’s, We didn’t allow bloggers or online news sources in,” she said. “They (The Rebel) weren’t singled out.”
Does that mean that the HuffPost, the Tyee, Vice, or iPolitics can’t play anymore in Alberta?

I’d like to punch that pussy storm trooper right in the face, and kick him right where his nuts used to be… what a tough guy threatening a woman, typical bully, a total coward, wish I had been there… truly disturbing how much this country has changed from the great country of Canada to the festering shit pile of Trudopia… Trudopia has produced some vile people, just as intended, maddening.
