Changes nothing. You are simply complaining about your guy being treated like you treated the Libs. Hell the media couldn't treat Harper as unfairly as you treated the Libs.
That ignores the fact that the CBC is the media arm of the Liberal party though.
CTV is the media arm of the CPC. So is the National Post and the entire Sun newspaper chain.
It also ignores the fact that half of the time you post attacks against the Libs you use the Toronto Star which you had previously labelled as part of the mythical left wing media conspiracy.

Let's just look at the last few stories that have passed through the media..
Harper almost misses a photo..
Harper dosen't eat a wafer..
Harper out ot line with G8 Eco-freaks..
Harper not falling in line with Obama..
...
It's all dog & pony bullshit.
DerbyX @ Thu Jul 09, 2009 12:15 pm
Too bad. You did it to the Libs.

Canada's economy set to shine on world stage: IMF
Paul Vieira, Financial Post
Published: Wednesday, July 08, 2009
OTTAWA -- Canada's economy is set to outperform nearly all industrialized countries this year and next, the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday, leading analysts to declare the country does not need additional stimuli as advocated by certain world leaders at this week's Group of Eight summit.
The latest IMF outlook suggested the world economy is "beginning to pull out" of the deepest recession since the Second World War. The global economy will shrink 1.4% this year, it said, but growth of 2.5% is now expected in 2010, an improvement of just over a half-percentage point from its previous forecast in April.
As for Canada, the IMF said the economy would contract the least among industrialized nations this year, with a drop of 2.3%, compared with the 3.8% shortfall expected among all advanced economies. In 2010, the Canadian economy is set to post growth of 1.6%, or second-best among advanced nations after Japan's expected 1.7% gain. In contrast, the U.S. economy is seen recording meagre growth of 0.8%, or half the Canadian output.
China and India, which crave Canadian-produced raw goods, are expected to be global growth leaders in 2010, with gains of 8.5% and 6.5%, respectively.

I know for certain that's utter bullshit.
Harper is so anal retentive, he doesn't go to the bathroom..... ever!

You can cry all you want but you were the bar none worst offender when it came to making a big deal over fluff things like backwards helmets. The CPC had no problems jumping on whatever mindless non-issue when it was the Libs in charge. Hell they are trolling through ancient history trying to find crap to throw at Iggy.
This is nothing more then Harper being treated as he himself treated others.
Those in glass houses.
commanderkai @ Thu Jul 09, 2009 1:26 pm
Who gives a flying fuck? Seriously. Who cares? Biggest non issue since the CBC report about Harper taking communion at a funeral.

So is the National Post and the entire Sun newspaper chain.
The Sun chain has many columnists that are "unfriendly" towards the PM and Conservative Party, but I will concede the National Post is more friendly.

The Toronto Star is possibly the worst paper in Canada, almost as bad as The Mop and Pail.
Also I don't think Riden qualifies as main stream media but it seems you think he does.

Up until Mike Duffy left.
They are still as pro-CPC as the CBC is pro-Lib

They also have many columnists that seem to print nothing but glowing testimonials and act as defacto CPC press release agents. Its no different then the Toronto Star having lots of columnists posting both friendly and unfriendly for both the Libs and CPC. 6 of one and a half dozen of the other but it does bust ridens BS about the left wing media bias that unfairly targets Harper.

No riden doesn't qualify but when he takes the position that virtually the entire media profession is left wing biased only to quote them time and again when one of their columnists post something unfriendly to the libs.
It all shows that contrary to his (and others) assertions there is no left wing media bias "out to get" Harper.

Derby, do you have an opinion on the story ? Or do you just want to continue going after Rid, once again.
EyeBrock @ Thu Jul 09, 2009 4:07 pm
Make sure you don't question derby's sanity though. It gets you a warning. Boo hoo!
kenmore @ Thu Jul 09, 2009 4:14 pm

I noticed something in these forums the past two weeks or so, it was nice and semi-civilized. Now I realized what it was, you were on vacation or something .
Now your back posting your 3rd grade harper sucks posts with nothing to back it up every chance you get. Nice while it lasted I suppose.
We get it Ken, you hate harper. Stop being a parrot about it and post something substantial of at least 10th grade quality.
