Peter,



So your position is – the media has never been accurate and factual about conservatives in any capacity? They never got it right once about Harper? Are you saying that conservatives are angels and they are above any sort of criticism from the media – they don’t lie, steal, cheat and never do anything that is viewed as being corrupt or is wrong politically?



I just think you don’t want ANYONE writing anything negative about Stephen Harper and conservatives. It was the same thing with Rob Ford supporters. While The Toronto Star and other media were doing the right thing as journalists in extensively covering what an unbelievable fuck up Rob Ford is, Ford Nation just felt that it should just be all swept under the rug and let him be mayor anyway – let’s ignore the lying, corruption, crack smoking, idiocy and everything in between. No, the media got it 100% right when it comes to Rob Ford.



I think the bottom line actually is that you are unable to be critical or objective about conservatives or Stephen Harper. You can’t support Harper and still admit that he fucked up on something or you don’t like how he handled this or that or you disagree with a direction he is taking with something specific or you just think he is dead wrong with his attitude or action on something – that the Toronto Star has pointed out.
