Release The Hounds!

The media is in full cry, they have released the hounds (themselves) on the fox, (Conservatives), and are chasing them down. What happens when the media realizes they are baying at this?



Might this happen?



During the Alberta election, the media was yapping about how the Liberals were going to win way more seats, how Stelmach was a hick farmer, how Albertans wanted change. Well how did that work out? HA. It only ticked off Conservatives who were going to stay home and not vote, and made them get out and vote.

Now, the media is trying that approach again with federal Conservatives. Here's a sample:

Liberals accuse Tories of ducking long gun fight
PMO denies life insurance offered to Cadman
Tory troubles don't boost Liberals: poll
Ottawa agrees to delay Schreiber extradition
PM's top aide set off storm with Obama NAFTA leak
Tories 'categorically' deny Cadman life insurance offer Oh, I like those quotes Glob, very sneaky.

Anyone notice a pattern? This is just today, only two media outlets. Is there one article that is favourable to the Conservatives? You find one, post the link. CTV News in particular today was howling to help the Liberals. They had Szabo and Holland on, both yipping about something the Conservatives had supposedly done. Not one mention about how the Liberals failed to show up for a vote again, this one the budget vote. Not one question to Szabo about Pablo asking CBC questions during committee, corrupting the whole committee process.

Hey media, your bias is showing. Or should I say stripes?

Who are You? WHO? WHO?

A prime example of the press making up the news, not reporting it. Why am I surprised about this little tidbit, posted under politics at CTV?

PMO won't answer key questions in Cadman affairUpdated Tue. Mar. 4 2008 4:08 PM ET

The Canadian Press

OTTAWA -- Repeated appeals to the Prime Minister's Office since the Chuck Cadman affair surfaced last week have failed to yield direct answers to the following queries:

1. Did anyone from the Conservative party, or connected to the Tories, offer Cadman a million-dollar life-insurance policy?

2. If Tom Flanagan and Doug Finley offered Cadman a repayable loan, what was the amount and what were the terms of repayment?

3. What did Stephen Harper mean when he said in a 2005 interview that "an offer'' that included "financial considerations'' was made to Cadman?

4. Why didn't Harper say last week that he told Dona Cadman more than two years ago that he didn't know about the alleged life-insurance offer?

5. Why did the Prime Minister's Office and the Conservatives first deny an offer had been made, only to later say a repayable loan was offered?

6. What motivation would Dona Cadman, a Tory candidate in her husband's former riding, have to fabricate a story about the life-insurance offer?


This was reported by the Canadian Press, for the Canadian press, and CTV ran it as an actual article. My question to you is, who's repeated appeals? The Canadian Press? CTV? The Liberal party? Dion? WHO? It's a mystery, but it's also masquerading as a "story".

Nope, not even any "unidentified sources" have been quoted. So, what was the MSM's motivation in running this "story"? HA.

Here's a helpful chart for the media to use for their next "made-up" story:



Now, kids, pay attention, one of the 5 W's is WHO!!! This "story" is missing the most important element in our little star, the WHO! See it right up there at the top of our star, in the gold?

"Who are you? WHO? WHO?", I'd really like to know!
