Here are a few choice excerpts from a “Tiger Beat” column…whoops, sorry, they’re from an Ottawa Magazine article, titled “Queen of the Hill”, about CBC parliamentary reporter Kady O’Malley:
“The Hill Times, the newspaper of record in the parliamentary precinct, has named her one of the 100 most influential people in government and politics for the past two years running….”
Kady O’Malley is one of the most influential people in Canadian government and politics?
“Put simply, O’Malley is trending…”
A trending reporter? Who knew?
Columnist Rob Thomas love-love-loves her style:
“…she looks like the town gunslinger, wearing heels and low-slung jeans with two Blackberries clipped to her belt. And if it were an Old West scene, her desk would be the requisite tumbleweed, a chest-high jumble of papers with a netbook perched on top…”
Yes, if Kady O’Malley was living in the Old West, her desk would be “the requisite tumbleweed” with a computer perched on top of it – makes perfect sense, really, for someone raised in Ottawa who “was hooked on politics early” and whose father, Peter O’Malley, “was director of communications to NDP leader Ed Broadbent, while her mother worked as a government economist.”
Choice quote from the comments under the article:
“Kady O’Malley isn’t a journalist…she drinks Red Bull and squawks on her blackberry like any 17 year old girl would. Only difference is a 17 year old would hate the cheerleaders, Kady hates Conservatives.”
She’s the perfect CBC employee, in other words.
A wise man once told me that the true believers on the left are easy to understand once you realize that they are driven by hatred of the bourgeoisie.
In what kind of totalitarian state are you forced to pay for the propaganda arm of the opressor?
Pee air’s turdopia…
Off with her indexed pension!
That elitist snob deserves no dime from us plebs.
The very statement from a fellow journalist that, “Kady hates Conservatives” should lead to her immediate dismissal from the national broadcaster.
See, there is the problem… that a reporter should be one of the most influential people in government or politics when she is in neither proves the point that they stopped being reporters and started being biased participants.
A reporter should be an objective person who provides facts and writes a story without prejudice toward one side of the political spectrum or the other… this person, not a reporter, I guess!
I’ve never had a problem with Kady’s writing…
. “Her father, Peter O’Malley, was director of communications to NDP leader Ed Broadbent, while her mother worked as a government economist”
Just Mommy and Daddy’s little girl.
And her employer is going to claim Kady ISN’T biased against Conservatives!!!!
“I have observed Kady’s posts on twitter, and have yet to see anyone pull any wool over her clever eyes. She’s one of the best Journalists in Canada and she should be proud of it”
From the “comments” at the link.
Big difference between these commenters and those at “Tiger Beat” is the 12 year old girls who wrote in to TB were much less effusive in their adoration of the subject at hand,even if it WAS Donny Osmond!
It’s been so long since I have watched CBC I can’t remember what she looks or sounds like.
I am very comfortable with that and I do not intend to change.
Looking fwd to Sun News!
Well that was embarrassing… I could almost hear the author masturbating.
Who can ever forget her live blogging from the Warman vs Lemire trial:
8:45 AM “Oh look, donuts!”
12:01 PM “Is it lunchtime yet?”

Unoriginal, cheer leading emblem for the journalistic establishment who think they’re oppressed and leading some kind of opposition to the old order. In Canada, they’re the old order, moldering and rotten.
Fire.
Her.
Now.
Hahaha … tue bloody wonderful … a staff writer on a Liberal rag in Ottawa has a crush on Kady.
Like the commenter said … she ain’t no reporter.
But I’d be willing to say she is a cheerleader.
The state of journalism ……………
Looks pretty butch to me, of course that may be a compliment these days; cheerless and funereal, with just a touch of S&M about her. Ready to kick ass. Though I suspect the CBC is pretty much pussified these days, doubt if she could face any real journalists.
When did she get promoted to Journalist? I thought she was a gossip monger and the primary source of CBC’s unknown sources?
Did you know that the new jets will cost 1 billion to maintain a year, the self same dollar figure that the CBC cost us each year ergo what would the people want funded DND or CBC?
anyone write a snippy little column criticizing this or that aspect of government policy ….but what separates the men from the boys is the obligation and the ability to compellingly PROVE one’s counter-thesis…
and that is not too difficult a task….a REAL journalist/intellectual would know how….IF they had the parts…
having said that she does look a fidgety ferret-faced diesely little flibbertagibbet….a screamer i have no doubt…….i wonder….hmmmmmmm…..oh well, another starbuck’s employee comin’ up once PMSH eviscerates the CBC….a consumation i and millions of fellow Canadians hunger for..
Look at it another way:
She’s part of that self-absorbed Ottawa political bubble which thinks that every little action of “the Hill” is “important” and has weighty consequences for the world.
I live barely 25 kilometres away from the epicentre of that bubble in the Ottawa Valley countryside and I can tell you, folks out here neither know nor care who Kady O’Malley is.
Shoot, by my calculations, the indifference sets in pretty solidly by the time you’ve reached Nicastro’s on Merivale…
Alright I bite, who the hell is Kady O’Malley?
She’s a Blackberry-wielding CBC parliamentary reporter who is, apparently, “one of the 100 most influential people in government and politics.” Her selection was made inside an Ottawa bubble, and the rest of us will just have to live with it.
/:>°>
A blogger at CBC bear, a bleach blond hair cut in the 80s butch style.
“Alright I bite, who the hell is Kady O’Malley?” Posted by the bear…
Short answer. Some skanky looking troll promoted by the teat-sucking CBC to promote her anti-Conservative views.
Apparently some liberal writer jerks off dreaming of her as a gun-slinger a la Sharon Stone.
JJM – hell you are too far south at Nicastro’s, I think the border is the Queensway!
“who the hell is Kady O’Malley?”
She’s kind of a Dorothy Parker for people in a sheltered workshop environment.
But dear friends this is so much than about the ongoing media bias as demonstrated hourly by people like O,Mallley, the CBC etc. all on the taxpayer’s dime
It’s utter contempt for the Canadian people and democracy in Canada.
All this ongoing bias is done in order to try to create the perception that the minority (the establishment left) are the majority; which they most assuredly are NOT and the majority (the average Canadian) are bad, racist, homophobic, mysoginistic, francophobic, religious,
conservative, from Alberta etc.; labels are used as weapons to try to destroy counter opinion and to intimidate Canadians into not speaking up or speaking their minds.
What this is really about is how the ‘establishment left’ through their own so-called mainstream media kills any chance of discourse that actually serves the people and collude to shape the news in favor of one political ideology.
Democracy is dead in Canada.
Proud to ask, non-rhetorically, Who is Kady O’Malley? and to suggest I’m not about to find out.
I live in a foreign country.
“I’ll be the stressed out badly-colored blonde…”
LOL
“one of the 100 most influential people in government and politics.”
At some point in the ’80s Mordecai Richler, a Canadian writer at least as talented as Kady O’Malley, was selected for inclusion in the Debrett’s Illustrated Guide to the Canadian Establishment list of Canada’s 600 Most Important Citizens. The Guide was edited by Peter C. Newman but even so Richler was less than entirely impressed and he filled out the form they sent him in a rather perfunctory manner. (“On my form, asked if I owned any vintage airplanes, cars or yachts, and if I collected anything, I responded that I was still the proud owner of an eighteen-inch balsa wood Spitfire model, circa 1942, abd that my collection of early Babylonian p*rnography was unrivalled in the non-Communist world. I listed my clubs as the Canadian Automobile Association…”)
He was included nonetheless. As Richler himself put it: “…not to brag, without me there would be only 599 Very Important People in Canada. Mindful of my responsibility to the unwashed, I now look both ways before crossing the street.”
And we can only pray that Kady O’Malley does the same. What would we ever do without her?
I thought she was a Sex Trade Worker for the CBC. Gee maybe when the Lecherous Liberals unite with Lenin’s Head Layton she could achieve a Sex Trade Workers Nirvana and be appointed GG, a true Defacto Queenie Thingy.
Surfing the Blue Wave.
Remove the Bloc gives the Blue Wave 45%.
Iggy’s last best Hope: recall Liberal MP Citoyen Kyoto Dionky.

“Conservatives leading in polls
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
OTTAWA — Canada’s ruling Conservatives held a strong lead in the latest public opinion survey released Monday, ahead of possible upcoming elections.
Some 36 percent of respondents surveyed by Leger Marketing for the daily Le Devoir backed Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Tories versus 23 percent support for the main opposition Liberals, led by Michael Ignatieff.
[…]
According to the poll, the leftist New Democratic Party and the separatist Bloc Quebecois have the support of 18 percent and 10 percent of voters, respectively.”

here is the homoerotic bit from one of the trudeau spawn .

I think Sasha would have had the same reaction as ChrisinMB mentions after penning this crap.
Kady is poopular, like The Social Network.
Giggles Taber is looking longer-in-the-tooth….
That’s one mean lookin’ girlie there. Look on her face matches her writing, kinda nasssssty.
Black mamba, one of Richler’s best columns was written in the 80’s,just before a federal election.
In the column Richler spoke of the integrity of the Quebec political Parties,and mentioned that a friend of his was paid 25 cents per name by the Union Nationale to copy names off of gravestones.
He also mentioned that the Liberals paid the same friend 25 cents per gravestone name to help with THEIR electoral hopes.
There was not a peep of outrage or denial from the Liberal Party, I guess they really did NOT want to open that can of worms!
She is a blogger with the CBC, sort of like an opinion columnist.Occasionally she appears on Net News programs to explain her latest opinions.
As suspected, they lean but one way. She somehow managed to miss the entire Climate Change e-mail
fiasco, so well covered here (Thanks Kate). It was she who Tory Teneycke devastated on P&P show as to why she did not bother with the story.
One of a host of employees that CBC will not provide a salary for.
“JJM – hell you are too far south at Nicastro’s, I think the border is the Queensway!”
Good point.
Merivale Road might as well be in Africa for the Hill set.
Never heard of her until now. Imagine it’ll be a long time before I hear of her again.
A comment under the Ottawa Magazine article:
This woman obviously doesn’t do as good a job as the author of this article claims, as CBC news garners fewer viewers than both Global and CTV. Canadians can see the institutionalized left-wing bias and untruth. The CBC is a complete waste of money: this “Kady Omalley” person is uncapable of landing a job outside of the CBC or perhaps Al Jazeera or MSNBC. She is highly partisan. The problem with CBC employees is that they are paid regardless of quality: when they produce little-watched garbage (as they do now), they still receive a paycheque. The CBC badly needs accountability.
“If it were the old days”Kady Omallly’s desk (stacked high with condoms) would be near the door of the brothel that she would likely be involved with.
‘hates Conservatives’
Unacceptable in a taxpayer supported broadcasters employee. Close the doors on the ‘news’ operations now; lots of work for their style of journalism over at al jazero tv.
I never see her on the Detroit stations I watch for the free High Def. CBC and CTV is really bad fuzzy TV that no one watches around here.
She needs to do a bus tour .
She has that angry Persian kitty look says my little girl. The noose is tightning around the outdated, obsolete, irrelevant libsucking Canadian media, as the time clicks down on the start of Sun news the shrillness of the Omalley types gets louder than little girls at a Justin Beiber show.
