Tories blast ‘agenda-driven’

[CHIMO]

Stephen Harper’s Conservative can’t seem to get enough of the culture wars. They’re at it again, complaining to the public broadcaster about its recent coverage of the long-gun registry.

A little CBC bashing never hurts Conservative fundraising coffers. This time they’re upset with a story last week suggesting the powerful American gun lobby, the National Rifle Association, was helping to fight the battle against the long-gun registry in Canada.

The Tories sent a stinging letter to CBC ombudsman Vince Carlin on Sept. 17. “I am writing to express my concern with the blatant agenda-driven reporting by Canada’s national broadcaster,” writes Jenni Byrne, the director of political operations for the Conservative Party.

She is one of the most senior women in the party and is said to have the ear of the Prime Minister. “This type of reporting is neither objective nor accurate and does a disservice to all Canadians. ”

So folks. Power & Politics have to give idiotic opinions because they have to give equal time. So now you know why the program is just a bunch of shouting heads.

Ask a question to a Con and you get a non answer. Ask an opposition person a question and you get butting in by an idiot.

So there it is folks. The presenters are just robots to the Cons.

1. Awww, poor widdle babies, having trouble with the truth, as usual...

The NRA has long had it's ties with the Cons, this is not new but it is inconvenient to the Cons to have it pointed out yet again.

Their hate-on for the CBC is old news as well. They have tried everything, including using the crook Black, to kill it but Canadians know a good thing when they see/hear it. I only wish more would speak up in support then remain, as they do, silent.

2. The facts have a well known liberal bias...

...Tory spin and actual facts must be treated equally. :eyes:
