I took my time listening to the radio CBC's coverage of Jack Layton's funeral the other day. The CBC has been paying nothing but tribute to the Liberal parties and their ideology for a couple of decades, and now its commentery changed the tone and went on and on analogizing that since the Liberal party has lost a few elections while the NDP has not really won but has not really lost either, and because the CBC has paid a long tribute to the late Jack Layton and since a new management took over at the NDP, the NDP should now carry the Liberal ideology torch. That was the arrogant attitude back in 1984 when the Brian Mulroney's Conservatives won (and it was seemingly successful), as it is now. The media always dictating terms how everything ought to be run. In other words, the media nowadays is less about reporting with at least some sense of objectivity in order to keep the public informed, as it is about undemocratically lobbying and intimidating the politicians, and politicians humbly cave in and value such allies above all else.
Anyways, I thought I would throw this in because it's a 9/11 anniversary, so there are all these diehard hijacking and takeover schemes in the air. Any afterthoughts?
Nobody can deny the medias part in getting Obama elected. It was practically criminal, and comical. There was no objectivity...., most are still in the bag for this incompetent. Tomorrow we get another worthless speech...Oh goody...
Hey now, I'm not speaking on some different wavelength. I only pointed out that the introductory chapter from P. Brimelow's book in which he analyzed the 1984 Canadian election has now been vindicated. Unfortunately, I've tried finding quotations of the relevant paragraphs on the internet, but to no avail.
