Who Knew ‘Balanced & Objective’ Media Was So Far Slanted to the Right? Audits & Accountability

By ck, on May 23rd, 2010

That is, according to Jojo Blue. Lorrie Goldstein happens to be her favourite (or one of them anyway). Who knew the Reverend Goldstein was neutral and non-partisan? By the by, the Reverend Lorrie Goldstein would like us to know that the Christian left and their social justice is far more detrimental to society . . . → Read More: Who Knew ‘Balanced & Objective’ Media Was So Far Slanted to the Right?

Harpercon Cheerleading Spoiled Brats…Shut the Fuck up Already!!

By ck, on May 12th, 2010

It’s getting old real fast, or maybe this is yet another Brother Steve ploy to be able to put the CBC out of business once and for all with the help of his media outlets and pundits.

I can’t believe I must bring this up again and having to do so annoys the . . . → Read More: Harpercon Cheerleading Spoiled Brats…Shut the Fuck up Already!!

Maybe We Ought to Thank Sen Ruth & Some Sage Advice From a Prog Blogger-The Last Thing We Should be Doing is to ‘Shut the Fuck Up!’- Part D’Uh

By ck, on May 5th, 2010

Ever since Senator Nancy Ruth started swearing like a sailor last Monday, it has gotten people talking and bloggers blogging, even corporate media to some degree. Since she had her tantrum, we learned of 14 groups to date having had their funding cut. That’s getting even more folks talking and bloggers blogging further. . . . → Read More: Maybe We Ought to Thank Sen Ruth & Some Sage Advice From a Prog Blogger-The Last Thing We Should be Doing is to ‘Shut the Fuck Up!’- Part D’Uh

May These Corporate Media Pages and Radio Talk Show Hosts Never Succeed in Getting Canadians to Not Care

By ck, on April 25th, 2010

Well, they tried in vain to get us not to care about about prorogation. When that didn’t succeed, they pounded us over the head with it and belittled our efforts.

They tried convincing the masses that we don’t care about climate change.

They preached the ol’ Canadians don’t care if brown people half . . . → Read More: May These Corporate Media Pages and Radio Talk Show Hosts Never Succeed in Getting Canadians to Not Care

Congratz are in Order Here

By ck, on April 22nd, 2010

That is, congratulations to Antonia Zerbisias for her promotion to Features at the Toronto Star from Sister Sage’s Musings.

I love it when the right has their sails blown out of them. If I believed in angels, I would like to believe that everytime one of those right wingnut pundits is humiliated, an . . . → Read More: Congratz are in Order Here

As Usual, the Fascination With Quebec’s So-Called Bigotry is Fascinating to Many it Would Seem

By ck, on April 16th, 2010

I was looking for further news about Jean Charest and the latest scandals and or polls and whether or not he’s going to resign sooner rather than later. There will be some kind of Quebec Liberal Party conference in St-Hyacinthe (still researching that, so not really sure of the exact nature of meeting) . . . → Read More: As Usual, the Fascination With Quebec’s So-Called Bigotry is Fascinating to Many it Would Seem

Oh Brother! Leave Jacques Parizeau Alone! Is it That Slow of a Newsweek?

By ck, on April 8th, 2010

I pass the Jewish General Hospital everyday on the bus going to and from work. Yesterday and last evening, media trucks had set up camp and for what? Nothing was happening. They were waiting all day for a communication officer to come and tell them Parizeau is resting comfortably and is improving? They . . . → Read More: Oh Brother! Leave Jacques Parizeau Alone!

Mr Lilley, Since When Did You Become a Statistician?

By ck, on April 6th, 2010

After reading Jojo and Jabba the Roy going all gaga over his hero, Brian “fearless” Lilley yet again. You know, that Astral Talk Radio Ottawa bureau reporter? You know, the one who is soooo conservative, he can’t even see clear to do his job properly? You know, that part he must have missed . . . → Read More: Mr Lilley, Since When Did You Become a Statistician?

Canada 150 Thinkers’ Conference in Montreal–A Success; But Beware of Harpercon Sore Loser Cheerleaders

By ck, on March 28th, 2010

I will be blogging more in detail on a few of the themes I’m most particularly concerned with (“How do we Care?”) a little later on this evening or even tomorrow. We just had to be busy this week-end with other commitments and errands.

I think even Iggy’s speech was very good and . . . → Read More: Canada 150 Thinkers’ Conference in Montreal–A Success; But Beware of Harpercon Sore Loser Cheerleaders

I’m Seeing Deja-Vu

By ck, on March 25th, 2010

Over at Scott Diatribe’s, his observations of the corporate media are that basically, the Liberals’ 150 Thinker’s Conference is going to “bomb”; to be a miserable failure. Here we go again. This sound familiar to anyone? It should. Not that long ago, the Corporate media was telling folks how to feel about prorogation . . . → Read More: I’m Seeing Deja-Vu

Oh Talk Radio, Hypocritical defenders of Free Speech: The Repressed Right V Those Mad Marxists!!

By ck, on March 24th, 2010

If there was a time to fall off that cigarrette wagon, it would be now. The night is still young and after I post this, I just may well aquiesce and get me a pack of smokes; such a nice evening for it too!! Problem is, my husband will be pissed with me . . . → Read More: Oh Talk Radio, Hypocritical defenders of Free Speech: The Repressed Right V Those Mad Marxists!!

No Jennifer Smith: You Are Not Alone: Just Call Me Conspiracy Theorist

By ck, on March 24th, 2010

After reading Jennifer Smith’s theory at Runesmith’s, I thought, oh good! Someone else who’s on the same track as I am. Conspiracy theorists for the post part on either side of the Political spectrum are generally not well received. However, it doesn’t mean that some of these conspiracy theories and/or predictions aren’t correct.

The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease? What is the Secret of Those Tea-baggers Anyway?

By ck, on March 21st, 2010

Laura from We Move to Canada brings up a valid argument in her post today.

If the tea-partiers are so opposed to government spending, why aren’t they protesting the two occupations the US is funding to the tune of at least $880 billion and as much as $1.03 trillion, this year alone?

Clucking Christie Blathering Blatchford Strikes Again!

By ck, on March 13th, 2010

Oh brother! Here we go again! Once again that useless old shrew hacks again. This time, it’s about her little friend Rahim Jaffer. Apparently she writes that we’re simply pissed off with him getting away with nothing more than a slap on the wrists simply because he’s a ReformaTory: that backroom deals like . . . → Read More: Clucking Christie Blathering Blatchford Strikes Again!

Good Gawd! Can Super Stevie do no Wrong?

By ck, on March 11th, 2010

After reading Harpercon media, looked at the polling numbers, listening to folks talk and of course, we can’t forget the Romper Roomies, I’m seriously wondering if Stevie can do anything wrong in their eyes? I really am!

Lessee, Stevie prorogues parliament twice in 13 months in order to run away from the evul . . . → Read More: Good Gawd! Can Super Stevie do no Wrong?

It Must Really Suck to be You: Especially When Pesky Ol’ Reality and Truth Get in the Way

By ck, on March 8th, 2010

Yes, Romper Roomies (Blogging Tories), I do mean you! Good Gawd, just how desperate are ya to not only keep the megalomaniac St-Stevie and his evangelical Harpercons in power, but to actually get him his majority? How low are y’all willing to sink to achieve this end. I mean you all laughed at our . . . → Read More: It Must Really Suck to be You: Especially When Pesky Ol’ Reality and Truth Get in the Way

A Woman Gets Expelled From School: Not by School but by Minister of Immigration

By ck, on March 2nd, 2010

Have you ever heard of anything this wild? Well, actually we have. It doesn’t get much nuttier than St-Stevie’s poll numbers shooting up because of Olympic gold. However, this little incident at CEGEP St-Laurent (For those outside of Quebec whod don’t know, CEGEP is sort of a playground between high school and university instead . . . → Read More: A Woman Gets Expelled From School: Not by School but by Minister of Immigration

Too busy Launching Poison Pill Budget and Enjoying Majority Numbers

By ck, on March 2nd, 2010

St-Stevie is not sending a disaster relief team to Chile, nor is as quick to act as he was with Haiti. Of course not, now that prorogation was found to be necessary for Canada to win Olympic gold and St-Stevie is now the hero, why would he have to help Chile so quickly . . . → Read More: Too busy Launching Poison Pill Budget and Enjoying Majority Numbers

Jane Taber and her Insipid Articles of Late

By ck, on February 26th, 2010

I think Taber must be bored since Question Period took time off and even then, I have noticed Taber can get petty in her writing. I caught this over at BC er in Toronto. Her latest fluff is some very strange obsession with bugging Iggy about which olympic hockey team he’d root for. . . . → Read More: Jane Taber and her Insipid Articles of Late

Enough About Tiger Woods Already! Has it Been That Slow of a News Week?

By ck, on February 21st, 2010

It probably has been a bit of a slow newsweek, particularly at the end of it. However, it doesn’t mean we have to continue obsessing about the stars and their sexcapades and the analysis of their apologies, if applicable.

I don’t think the sexcapades of Tiger Woods has had so much mileage since . . . → Read More: Enough About Tiger Woods Already! Has it Been That Slow of a News Week?
