Larry Zolf – “Harper, you’re breaking our balls here. You’re breaking our balls!”
Harper is winning his war with the media because the media is hated by the public. Harper is loved by the public, so he is on top of the fold.
The media war has been a total Harper victory. The media will have to learn to play by Harper’s rules or they won’t be in the great game at all.
It sounds like Mr. “The Media Made Him And We Can Break HIm” may have read the reader responses. (Scroll down.)
It seems that comments at a lot of MSM websites are juried, with only certain views getting through. In this case, a decision seems to have been made to let a seriously good comment secton loose to snap at Zolf’s heels.
This is a good thing, because a journalist who, for example, describes the National Citizens Coalition as “ultra right-wing” has lost any sense of perspective. If, say, advocating for stay-at-home moms earns them that moniker, how would he describe a neo-nazi group?
Speaking of language, I was shocked last night by something I heard on The National: Peter Mansbridge refered to the “Liberal sponsorship scandal”. It might have taken them a few years, but still…coming clean is the first step to recovery.
Speaking of popping out of Foxholes, it is very kind of Dr. Wayne to do so. It will be so much easier for PMSH to set his gunsites on the varmint.
Anyone from the prairies knows that patience is the name of this game. You seat yourself on a little knoll in the midst of the varmints on a sunny afternoon and wait… it is only a matter of time bfore they pop their furry little heads out of their holes and… pow!… game over, chalk one more up for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
All you are left with is one more “Small Dead Animal”

Larry Zolf’s arrogance is way over the top. Does he and his elite MSM actually think that we voted for Stephen Harper, because THEY said so? I think Zolf needs to retire.

ROFL
Daniel that was hilarious and spot on.
First, could some kind soul fill me in on ROFL and OT and any other acronyms used on blogs? I know I should know what they stand for, but I don’t. As I said a few months back, someone should do up a blogger dictionary of acronmyns for the ignorant amonst us.
Second, lookout, fantatstic letters to the CBC!! What gooks they are. Knock, knock, anybody home AT ALL? They just tell you what THEY want to hear and what THEY believe, despite the fact that what they say and believe has nothing whatsover to do with reality. Magical thinking: exactly. “If I say it, if I declare it, it’s true.” Good Lord, deliver us–or, at least, couldn’t the CPC put the CBC (and us) out of its misery?
I suspect that the fact the CBC published so many anti-Larry Zolf letters is because he didn’t get any letters of support. I thought that Larry Zolf WAS retired and that he’d just been dragged out from under some old backstage prop because they felt sorry for him. Though I was glad to hear him concede defeat, and PMSH’s victory, a lot of what he had to say was CRAP. But why waste ink in detailing his idiocy? It’s just good, for once, to have someone at the CBC back down.
SWEET.
New Kid – I’m new to blogs too but I think this is what those acronyms mean (someone correct me if I’m wrong):
ROFL means “rolling on the floor laughing”
if there is an MAO added to it then it adds “my ass off”
OT means off-topic.
WoT means War on Terror
I can’t think of any others…

This is only one comiplation/dictionary of Net terms. I’m sure a quick Google search could find several more but find one you like and bookmark it for future reference, preferrably one that is updated regularly as things are changing all the time.
OT- Off Topic
ROFL- Rolling On Floor Laughing

I have been writing and phoning the cbc re Larry Zolf since the days of This Hour Has 7 days. When that first come on we only had once channel. Cruel and unusual punishment. I also received a monthly log, to record what one watched. That was fun, one would watch a program but put down No, like Quest. We also recorded radio programs. There was a space for comments. I got six logs, but they finally took me off the list as my comments were never very nice and I always asked, why is the cbc so anti-religious. The best program on at that time, very popular in the west was The Plouff Family, our of Quebec.
Thanks Charley and Daniel. I’d been wondering what ROFLMAO meant, and was making up a much worse set of words than they actually stand for!! WOT was also puzzling me *** duh *** so thanks for it and OT, as well.
I’ll check out the Web site you’ve mentioned, Daniel.
Muchas gracias, amigos.
Thanks, ET and NKOTB for your appreciation of my letters, sent today to the CBC, which were included at #6 in this thread.
Below is the spaced-out non response–what else is new?–from the CBC (CereBrally Challenged):
“I’m sorry you are disappointed, I am also sorry about the hostility [sic]. I can assure you that CBC has a journalistic policy book that we take
very seriously. The policy book is actually unique among journalistic organizations and that is source of pride. It is extensive and has
just been updated. I am not sure why you are dwelling on the audience size. You asked the question about what is the audience size. I am not surprised you did not wait for the answer.[Huh?] I can assure you it is not minuscule. In fact the audience share of CBC radio has never been higher.
Sincerely
Jamie Purdon”
I’ve sent a suitable reply.
