Media bias? What media bias?

/now where'd I put those marbles...

This may sound a tad "tin foil", but I wonder if "Relocation-scam" will reveal exotic vacations were awarded to Liberal fart catchers within our esteemed Canadian media. Perhaps the "heil" and "flames" is a shot over the bow by said media.....

Kate, I've been waiting to see that someone else saw the cut and paste job just before the election which showed left side (facing TV)Harper, right side Karla with her dark brown hair.
I only watched CBC a total of about 30 minutes all told, and didn't know about the tricks until I saw it mentioned in the posts. But no one else seems to have caught that one. I yelled to someone in the house, but it's over in a flash as you know.

Did anyone catch the rerun of the hit piece on Harper on CBC National last night?

Holy crap. If the conservatives cut their budget in half, I hope they're not stupid enough to act surprised.

OT, sorry. A quick question -- what is Democracy Watch and who is Duff Conacher? I found their website, and see they are endorsed by the Globe and Mail and CBC, so how impartial are they really? Just wondering . . .

I kind of liked the picture, didn't pick up any negative inference. Am I supposed to be picking up some kind of subliminal message here?

I know the pic of the fire on the Peace Tower is a spoof. Not going to enter into a demonic rant here... I've long ago learned my lesson about the mischievous little "shock posts" which Kate's fond of doing.

Now the MSM is doing the "they're devils... oops, we goofed!" thing a lot.

The strategy of the MSM, if I'm correct that it's actually intentional, is perhaps to subconsciously manipulate the people in a much more blatant way and still get away with it by simply saying it's a mistake, much like the innumerable Liberal "mistakes" and "management problems" and the doings of "a few people in the civil service", which we know were more than claimed.

Just watch to see how much more they do it compared to in the past. It seems to me to be a fairly recent thing. I really don't remember this sort of thing happening 'till recently.

If it turns out I'm wrong that they're doing it on purpose, in line with what we already know about MSM ethics and antiConservative prejudicial bias in their reporting behavior, then I'll just excuse myself by saying... "Oops, I goofed, too!" or blaming some unknown hacker to my blog for a post accidentally making a political opponent look like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or something...

"Heil Harper" at the CBC and burning down the "Reichstag" I mean House of Parliament at CTV.

Yep, it is a transition to the NSDAP of Canada.

This is the same kind of slur that slandered the professional military.

Oh no unbiased media there, nothing to see, move along.

And, Jose, yep, you are supposed to pick up a subliminal message. Kinda like making Mr. Harper look scary by using a really, really bad picture in attack ads over and over again like the Liberals did which apparently affected moonbats dwelling in some large urban areas and much of the Maritimes...

Duff Conacher endorsed the Conservative Accountability package rather enthusiastically.

On CBC: nothing much will change before the Board of Directors (all G-in-C apptts for 5 year terms, removable only for cause), President, English Language News chief, and Chief Political Correspondent (Boag) are replaced.

For the time being, the Harper administration should just work with CTV, RDI, TQS, and Global.

It is unlikely that any cuts to the CBC budget will ever get through a minority Parliament. The national broadcaster needs to be reformed, not eliminated or neutered.

Wow! Thanks for the link, Kate...I hope my server can take it ;)

Oops, sorry about the 2x post. Got confused when I accidentally went "back", etc.

Was going to say one more thing: the MSM doesn't seem to realize we're watching them, do they?

Let them ignore us at their peril. Let it be their undoing.

So who engineered this on Hot Cross Hedy??

Can these goons be any more obvious??

I swear to god there is a doctoral thesis in subliminal messaging here for some sharp post grad student.

*shaking head*

Quick, someone photoshop the Pravda Headquarters in flames. Kate, post that right beside this photo and watch the mouth foam multiply.

Eskimo,
I called Stephen Harper's office this morning to ask that the relocation contract be made a priority for an investigation. I reminded the office staff that this story won't go away . May I respectfully request that you and all others interested in this contract call Stephen Harper at 613 996 6740 in Ottawa or, 403 253 7990 in Calgary. We should all remind Mr. Harper that collectively we control more votes than Brascan does!

Nothing wrong with that pic. That is exactley what they should be doing.

DUUU DUN DUN DUN !

"Nec Tamen Consumebatur"

Exodus:3:2. And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire, and was not burnt.

Apparuitque ei Dominus in flamma ignis de medio rubi et videbat quod rubus arderet et non conbureretur. >>
http://www.newadvent.org/bible/exo003.htm

If burning down the house isn't bad enough,

Stephen Harper's family rebate:

From the Globe and Mail, read the comment also.

Children raised outside of daycare risk being unable to:

1. form strong bonds with their siblings
2. to avoid negative relationships linked to anti-social behaviour later in life.
3. to handle conditions such as depression and anxiety later in life

He's just so scary.

Duffy was trying to pit provincially elected senators against premiers suggesting there could be a pissing match over power. More like fear that media would be excluded from the Senate for life. If I were Velcro Lips (Harper) I'd flip the bird to all but the Sun and CanWest. The rest are only interested in gotcha journalism. Mind you, I suspect a few might find it refreshing to actually have to work for their stories, you know, interview folks instead of relying on news releases, maybe even do some research. Paul Wells hasn't been blowing his horn yet, but he's got a 34,000 work 35page article on Harper in this week's Maclean's.

I'm surprised nobody has combined that image with the Stephen Harper 'red eyes' Photoshop and incorporated a speech balloon that reads "Welcome to MY Dominion!"

Canada IS a Dominion after all, is it not? :D

there is a button.
off.

Hey Eskimo,

Who did you talk to at S/H's office, and do you have an email contact? I'd like to write down some ideas and pass them that direction, especially some other things that need to be investigated before evidence is shredded.

CTassV is usually more subtle than CBCPravda.

havent seen Kneel(the liberal toady) MacDonald, did they fire his a$$ or did he have to take a break after spending so much time trying to figure out reality.

Too Funny Cal.

I think Kneels grasp on reality is tentative at best.

Sabatical fer sure.

Syncro

Maybe the shredders broke down and the liberals are just burning the evidence.

Maybe it is the Conservative phoenix rising out of the ashes.

Donno,
Email for Stephen Harper is:
Harper.s@parl.gc.ca
You might want to try the #s I posted above, also.

The Big Top is burning! The Big Top is burning!
is Bozo Martin okay?

Eskimo
I sent some emails today in reference to rel-scan also before reading your post above.
I have some free time and itchy fingers. I will call also, thanks for the info.

A decent disinfection will take more than a mere bonfire. It is a start though. TG

Relax folks. That is just the bonfire the Liberals started to get rid of suspicious documents.

Short Fat Mike on CTV Newnet was trying hard to quietly raise all the hate emails he had received on Harper not hugging his kids as they headed off to school.

The media tried all day to make a story of this.

The media didn't raise how Harper himself raised the US ambassador's comments on Arctic sovereignty.

In other words, Harper should not worry about our border security he should be hugging his kids.

To Duffy's credit he showed an earlier clip of of Harper and his daughter.

TIZ

That's where the Liberal campaign plane crashed and burned, along with the campaign....

There's that old saying that CBC and CTV and just about everyone else in Canada has latched onto. It goes something like....

"It's easier to apologize later then it is to use your brains and save your reputation, ass and job to start with."

CBC and CTV can keep catering to the left. That's the minority now. That's bad business. If I were your CEO I'd take you into the stock room and show you what the backside of a hole punch looks like.

Whatever happened to the CRTC requirement of 'balance' when it comes to public opinion?

Actually, the fire in the photo is from a garbage can. They cut off the part that shows the Liberals with ex-PM PM standing around in tattered rags, wearing mittens with the fingers cut off and warming themselves gently ...

CRTC requiring "balance" is a hideous idea. A good idea is the free-competition of ideas.

Just a rhetorical question: How is it anyone's damn business outside the Harper family, whether or not Dad hugs or kisses the kids in public?

Isn't this just a case of The Usual Suspects in the MSM trying to subtly augment the personna they're trying to craft, that of a cold, distant man who doesn't even hug or kiss his kids when he drops them off at school?

Alternate headline:

"Harper spotted groping unidentified child"

Kate: Of course.

Besides, as someone said, Ben Harper would have been mortified if his dad had hugged him in front of school and all those cameras. I suppose he could have hugged his daughter and just shaken hands with his son, but then we'd see letters to the G&M analyzing his "distant" relationship with his son, does he "favor" his daughter, did he have a bad experience growing up, etc. And no points for trying to maintain the children's routine; no, it's a "pre-staged photo op". Really, Harper can't win here.

Oh, Kate, please. This isn't an example of bias (or if it was, it's a pretty pathetic one).

Let's save our outrage for things that are truly outrageous. For example, "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" piece tonight suggesting the appropriate response to the rise of Conservatives in Canada, the U.S., and elsewhere is to "kill them" and to control their reproduction. While clearly intended as a spoof (one of those "humorous" pieces where they use a person talking about one thing - this time, rodent control - to talk about another - the rise of Conservatism).

You want to be outraged? Save it for when it matters.

re; Kids to school. Pathetic. Has anyone thought possibly that he and the kids have a deal that they will do their best, give it a go , and if they don't like it, he won't run again? THEY, the kids especially, are making a huge sacrifice, RCMP bodyguards, death threats against their Dad, half the Country is likening him to Hitler. Give them a break. All the more evidenced by the vicious media speculation. Reminds me of 'Wag the Dog'.

I'd rather see the Langvin Block burn, (with the doors and windows nailed shut)- before Stephen Harper takes over, of course!

Harper should buy into the whole "We Need A Public Broadcaster" arguement. Maybe all those friends of the CBC are right.
He should double the CBC's budget.
Then he should shitcan all the board of directors and replace them with obvious social conservatives. Punt 3/4 or all of the talking heads and reporters and anyone else who sets the editorial tone of the CBC and once again replace them with his hand picked friends.
After a few months of listening to the howlings from the left about how unfair all this is to have a biased public broadcaster funded with the poor taxpayers money, he should say, "Ÿou know, you're right, it is wrong to have the CBC as a propaganda tool of the governing party".
And then he should shut it down.

Or sell it to Fox News.

we definitely need a Canadian version of Fox news, there has got to be some kind of voice for the right. maybe we can call it BEAVER news!

Too bad there is no solid proof this is deliberate subliminal messaging....knowing the axe grinders at the mother corpse I can believe it but I can't prove it....just like Paul and Moe's Chi-Com money laudromat.

remember the CRTC had little trouble approving Al Jezeera to broadcast here.

the problem is deeper than just CBCPravda

Deliberate subliminal messaging on CBC Radio 1 occurs just before the noon news with a mention of caller input and then a clip of a nervous senior is played.

She nervously states that she is afraid of Mr. Harper*s hidden agenda. The moderator says something to the effect of *There's a lot of that thinking out there* and then the music lead-in to the news comes up.

It's subliminal because the majority of people have the radio on as background while busy with finishing up for lunch, or making lunch.

The sub-concious picks up the nervous message though.

Later, in the polling booth, thousands are afraid to vote for Harper. They are not sure why exactly, but there is that nagging * I heard something somewhere* thought. Better play safe and vote for the crooks we know.

It worked magic... 104 seats instead of a more logical and deserving 65 seats. TG

actually the radio version of CBCpravda is more left and more subliminal than the other versions. the website has actual written things that they can get caught on , television is often recorded. Radio not so much so , so they tend to say things that they can be accountable for.

most news stories on Pravda tend to have some terrible tragedy of an ingrown toenail or something saying that in Alberta it can only be fixed in a "for profit healthcare" or a great injustice that a child has been left sleeping in a daycare and almost always ends with the statement along the lines of "therefore the government should give me money"

If you have ever had the "pleasure" of driving where you can only hear Pravda on the radio all the stories are sound like readings from tragic versions of Harlequin romances- they all have long strung out metaphors that we all understand but only the birkenstock crowd like.Long and deliberate pauses like a bad soap.

Makes you long for a QR77 infomercial or Brocket99

think whoever blew a gasket over the Heil Harper spoof needs to change their drugs.

I also had to look for bogymen at the hei to get the 'heil' part.

Besides all it would say is Harper Heil going by your thought pattern. If the CBC was doing it, then it would have had the heil first...

personally Id like to see the old CBC back.

the way I remember it as a child. with a black and white test pattern of an Indian on all the time.

Reality check that Kneel MacDonald.!!!

Does Kneel Mc have I hate conservatives and the USA in his DNA.

Yeah, but I think the Indian was US stations, I remember a test patter of a map of Canada with a bunch of circles behind it...
