Media, No Bias Here!

What is disrupting our democracy is media, both old and new. Right now, they are trumpeting the fact that over 30,000 "complaints" have been made to Elections Canada. What most of us already know is that it is one or two sites generating all those comments, but the media will not publish the truth, because the truth doesn't sell newspapers.

We have the internet, facebook, and twitter, all being used as a means of freedom of speech. I like that, but it can be misused to create anarchy. The left is very vocal and run on emotions. The right are silent and run on rules and facts. The left likes disarray and dysfunction, the right likes peace and order. Opposite poles.

The media wants to sell papers. Who is more attractive to them? The loud, noisy, trouble makes of course. Quiet, tame and boring doesn't sell newspapers. It is one thing to promote lefty causes in the media, it is another thing altogether to lie to sell papers. The National Post was caught lying and had to print an apology, they should have printed an article about why they were wrong. The damage is already done, a small apology hidden in the car ads, doesn't cut it.

Here is a perfect example of how the media intentionally distort the truth. You have to listen to it to understand the issue. Tom Harris talks to a Guardian reporter. What he said gets totally misrepresented in this article. 

More at WUWT. 

The media has an agenda, and I am getting sick of their distorted, wrong headed lefty reporting.

As Conservatives we might not be prone to protesting, but we can fire back, by using our keyboards, facebook, and twitter. We can flood Elections Canada with emails too. Better yet, we can take a stand. Stop reading/watching/buying CBC, CTV, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and since Andrew Coyne has been back, the National Post. Watch their revenues drop. If you can't bring yourself to stop reading the papers, then start commenting, get the Conservative view point out there, don't keep it a secret.

Start here: 

Hugo Chavez's oil company is just one of the many foreign groups registered to testify at the Canadian government's Joint Review Panel about the Northern Gateway pipeline. So are countless other foreigners from Europe to South America and a long list of foreign-funded lobbyists too. Use the form below to write federal to Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver and tell him we don't want foreign interests or their local puppet groups manipulating our decision about our pipeline. Ban foreigners and their local puppets from appearing before the pipeline review panel.

 This is a site that promotes the pipeline. Lefties wouldn't be caught dead supporting it, so it is up to us to do what we can to show our support.

It’s our pipeline. Our country. Our jobs. And our decision.
Stop foreign billionaires from sabotaging Canada’s national interest!
Public hearings into a proposal for an energy pipeline from the oil sands to Canada’s west coast are being manipulated by foreign special interests.
Foreign billionaires are hiring front groups to swamp the hearings to block the Northern Gateway pipeline project. Anti-oil sands groups claiming to speak for Canadians are actually backed by millions of dollars from foreign interests.
The pipeline promises thousands of jobs and billions of dollars for all Canadians. Whether we decide to go ahead with it or not, we get to make this important decision about our future — not outsiders.
Click on the anti-oil sands groups to the right; see all the money they’re being paid to fight against our national interest. They don’t answer to Canadians. They answer to their foreign paymasters.
It’s our pipeline. Our country. Our jobs. Our decision.

 It's one small step for us Conservatives. Who knows what we can do from there?
