Media Walkout on PM
In their latest salvo against the Prime Minister, the media staged a walkout of a news conference today, just prior to his announcement on aid for Darfur.
Funny, I thought the media cared about the whole Darfur issue.
On this whole media war... maybe if there was some real desire amongst the media to actually report the news, instead of spinning the news, this fight wouldn't exist?
I'm glad that PM Harper sticking it to them. No, I DON'T want the media to be all soft on the government, but I've said FOR YEARS that the MSM is overtly opposed to all things Conservative. Now that they ARE the Government, they're just carrying on with their overt bias.
Don't believe me on the bias issue? Read "BIAS" by Bernard Goldberg (28 year veteran of CBS), or view the Jane Taber little tirade on CTV's Question Period this past Sunday...

As far a Jane Taber's little preformance on Sunday, I wouldn't read too much into that. Until recently Jane Taber's "journalist style" could have been described as soft, bland and spineless. Jane looked like she was attempting to take a more hard-hitting approach, and looked quit out of her element doing it. I think word may have come down from Jane's producers to get tougher or get looking for a new gig.
Pure speculation on my part though.

Don't forget, the media and Teacher's Unions are only doing it for the kids.
They care about some issues so much that the best way to protest is to put their heads in the sand until people start to care.

It is too bad the media does not truly care about Darfur. The whole thing is a media stunt to cause problems

The Prime Minister seems to be able to get his message out without the press gallery. All they did today was show they are redundant.

They don't care - period! They are hypocritical lefties, and that's all there's to it.

A good point jDave, but I think it's more likely to backfire on them than help their cause.

I frankly see it as childish antics on both sides, and with the media winning: after all, they get a direct channel to explain their behaviour to the public at large, and Mr. Harper has to use their channels to get his messages across. This continued estrangement will hurt him down the road.
