122. No, that is not your point. My use of the CSM as a cite was deliberate, to
obviate the usual "Ewwwwww, but that's a RIGHT WING RAG" argument that always comes up when there's no gas in the tank.

Because CSM is anything BUT a right wing rag, and anyone who reads newspapers regularly knows that.

You, then, shift those goalposts, and attempt to assert that because they dare to carry a whackjob rightwinger in their "commentary" section, that ... WHAT? A paper that carries all viewpoints on their op-ed pages is operating from strenght, as they clearly don't fear dissenting views.

Your desire, near as I could see, was to muddy the waters as to the bona fides of the CSM. The CSM's reporting is excellent, balanced and straightforward. It's why they win awards.

They are one of the few publications I have seen in covering this matter to point out the obvious, that the students are NOT "the opposition." That they don't desire government overthrow, they simply want this referendum to fail.

Silly kids, they just like a responsive Constitution.
