Thank Amber for this one:
May. 25th, 2006 12:19 amSo you say the national media is biased against you, Mr. Harper?
...ARE YOU A FUCKING MORON?
(That's a rhetorical question. I know he is.)
Let's just take up that old US mantra of "oh, the liberal media is out to get me!" It's worked amazingly well for them, after all.
Reality has a well-known liberal bias, doesn't it, Mr. Harper?
He's trying to have his staff "select" which reporters get to ask him questions. Mmm, shades of Jeff Gannon. Good for the reporters for walking out.
Harper has said that he will deal with the local media instead...
"Basically, what he's saying is the regional media can be trusted to be compliant. They will find that insulting," said Chris Dornan, head of Carleton University's journalism school.
"Just as the national press corps will find insulting the suggestion that they're all paid-up Liberal hacks.
"He's going out of his way to make enemies - and that's not a good sign."
CBC version of the story (not different, just more... ours): Harper says he's finished with Ottawa press corps
