By ck, on September 18th, 2010

Thanks, Alheli Picazo, the author of this article that debunked ol’ Ezzy & Sun’s myths for tweeting this beauty just a few minutes ago! A retraction & apology! Bet it’s not exactly on the front pages of their print edition, but, it’s a start. You see, George Soros is suing Sun and ol’ . . . → Read More: Sun Media Apologizing? Ezzy Too?

Montreal Gazette Now Telling Folks How To Vote–Cartoonist Seeming To Promote Violence–Real Responsible Journalism!

By ck, on September 8th, 2010

While I have noticed more and more corporate media outlets becoming more Harpercon friendly; hell, let’s make it cheerleading “Steve is oh so dreamy!” Hell, in 2008, about 90% of newspapers endorsed Steve, although, in the wonderful world according to Fagstein, every newspaper should endorse Steve; not endorsing any candidate, is apparently, “cowardly” . . . → Read More: Montreal Gazette Now Telling Folks How To Vote–Cartoonist Seeming To Promote Violence–Real Responsible Journalism!

By ck, on September 1st, 2010

Well, we all know about Kory and Peladeau’s whining to King Steve to go knock some heads off at the CRTC to get their Category one license.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent–Trial By Tabloid–A Dangerous Precedent, ‘Cause We Canucks Are Just So Damned Pristine, Aren’t We?

By ck, on August 29th, 2010

After reading Dr. Dawg’s post, dripping with sarcasm, a take on the mentality of many Canadians regarding those four men arrested on terrorism charges earlier last week which included a Canadian Idol Reject and McGill University Med School Grad, Khurram Sher. A very accurate take as Dr Dawg usually has with these things. . . . → Read More: Guilty Until Proven Innocent–Trial By Tabloid–A Dangerous Precedent, ‘Cause We Canucks Are Just So Damned Pristine, Aren’t We?

It Looks Like Iggy Is Taking Kelly McParland’s Advice

By ck, on August 28th, 2010

Susan Delacourt is one of the few columnists who has been not only printing the facts about Iggy’s bus tour, but has actually remained positive about it. I only wish some of the more Liberal leaning columnist would have (and would) followed her lead rather than to continue nitpicking and lamenting him. After . . . → Read More: It Looks Like Iggy Is Taking Kelly McParland’s Advice

There Goes Sun Media Pumping Their Sunshine — There is no Substitute For Meeting Politicians in Person

By ck, on July 26th, 2010

Here is the latest sunshine the Kory clan had to pump today:

No sooner was the sanitizer flying off the shelf than we received a harsh letter from Liberal MP David McGuinty — brother of Ontario’s Pinocchio Premier — taking us to task for the tone of our critique.

No, Lorrie Goldstein And Other Wingnut Columnists, This Ain’t 1962 or The ‘Good Ol’ Days’ Dumb-Asses!

By ck, on July 25th, 2010

What is with that magic year 1962 when it comes to comparing crime statistics in Canada? Better still, what is with this longing for the so-called ‘good ol’ days’? I mean, with anything; be it crime rates; be it women’s issues; gay rights; immigration; etc.

Oh someone is sucking up to his new . . . → Read More: No, Lorrie Goldstein And Other Wingnut Columnists, This Ain’t 1962 or The ‘Good Ol’ Days’ Dumb-Asses!

By ck, on July 15th, 2010

Woohoo! I can have a happy few minutes now! I can just imagine. Ezzy IrreLevant’s blood pressure must be shooting right up about now, hell he must be turning about 10 shades of purple about now.

The CRTC refused to issue a category 1 license to Sun TV.

Never underestimate the Power of Misinformation

By ck, on July 13th, 2010

That is one lesson the Obama administration can teach us.

Remember when they were trying to hammer out Obamacare, back in the days when many hoped for humane things all industrial countries offered to their citizens like public options? More specifically, when they were discussing covering end of life counselling such as help . . . → Read More: Never underestimate the Power of Misinformation

Oh Clucking Christie, Enlist In the War Effort Already! But, Maybe We Owe Her Thanks?

By ck, on July 7th, 2010

Because you and many of your compatriots in the corporate media sure ain’t doin’ it.

Blathering Blatchford strikes again! Read her miserable column if you can stand the pain. The title just says it all:

‘G17’ defendants mostly white kids with good teeth

Blathering Blatchford, Have We Not Learned From Our Past Mistakes?

By ck, on July 1st, 2010

We all remember what kind of a public spanking Clucking Christy, our chickenhawk of the Grope & Fail got when she jumped on heavily redacted documents and basically threw Richard Colvin under the bus.

But do you think she learned?

No!!! Of course not!! Old habits seem to die hard with our chickenhawk. . . . → Read More: Blathering Blatchford, Have We Not Learned From Our Past Mistakes?

Redneck Ryan Doyle Seems To Advocate Police Brutality and Facism–Rant Alert — I Know I Said I Would Try to Avoid ProFanity, But!!

By ck, on June 28th, 2010

Dear Red Neck Ryan. You are an irresponsible hack. You have no business chastising the Toronto Star nor the CBC for not touting the Master Steve party line.

There is something about Redneck Ryan with his sadistic manic tone whenever society’s most vulnerable get screwed further. It’s like it makes his whole day. . . . → Read More: Redneck Ryan Doyle Seems To Advocate Police Brutality and Facism–Rant Alert — I Know I Said I Would Try to Avoid ProFanity, But!!

Austerity, Wrongful Arrests, Agents Provocateurs, Police States, Overpriced Photo-Ops, AWOL Leaders — Blame the Liberals!!

By ck, on June 27th, 2010

Any bets as to how long it’ll take before a Harpercon, any cheerleader from their media and/or blogging supposiTories will take before they blame it all on the Liberals?

First, a little review of why these leaders have been summoned to an overpriced shindig and photo op by Master Steve.

Paul McCartney gets the Comparison Right and Finally, A Retraction Regarding So-called Climategate

By ck, on June 25th, 2010

I’m not a fan of Paul McCartney. In fact, the only song I liked from his solo career is “Band on the Run”. Everything else, is, well, fluff; bubblegum (“Silly Love Songs”? Please…). John Lennon & George Harrison were my favourite Beatles. They actually had talent and substance. It became more apparent when . . . → Read More: Paul McCartney gets the Comparison Right and Finally, A Retraction Regarding So-called Climategate

Now, That’s Not Pure Conservatism Now Is It?

By ck, on June 15th, 2010

Well, well, well, corporate welfare for Fox News North! I never want to hear whining and shrieking about tax dollars going to the ‘Liberal’ CBC again! Not ever!

Péladeau calls it “Sun Media News”. Video calls it “Sun News”. Website is SunTVNews.ca. Next time, settle on . . . → Read More: Now, That’s Not Pure Conservatism Now Is It?

Oh Johnny Boy! You’re Full o’ Shit! Can’t These Harpercon Cheerleaders Just Be Honest?

By ck, on June 12th, 2010

Well, many who are completely disillusioned and even apathetic to the point of not even going out to vote due to the facts politicians are dishonest. Well, how’s about cheerleaders from the Harpercon media?

Jonathan Kay basically advocates for the Liberal Party to destroy itself. It’s pretty much the title of his latest . . . → Read More: Oh Johnny Boy! You’re Full o’ Shit! Can’t These Harpercon Cheerleaders Just Be Honest?

The Irony of Fox News North — Let’s Play a Game

By ck, on June 11th, 2010

Yes, taking a break from politics for this evening.

But , before I do, just one piece of irony. This Fox News of the North will more than likely be engaged in teaching folks to hate more than they do now as well as brainwash the less educated working class, just like the . . . → Read More: The Irony of Fox News North — Let’s Play a Game

By ck, on June 10th, 2010

Oh yes! As we all heard, Kory Teneycke ended his rather short tenure at the CBC in favour of taking over as Vice-President of Development at Quebecor. And already, he seems to be working fairly quickly.

The former chief spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper is spearheading a bid by Quebecor Inc. to . . . → Read More: Should Have Known Kory Teneycke Could Do More Damage After Leaving the CBC–(Update)

Jean Lapierre Seems To Know More & Coalition Not About Saving Liberals but Giving Bob Rae His Last Hurrah

By ck, on June 9th, 2010

One question, folks? How in the world did Warren Kinsella get on this merger/coalition bandwagon? Why is he doing this? Me thinks he also has an axe to grind…with Iggy. In last night’s CBC news article pointed out that Kinsella refused to divulge exactly who these insiders discussing this proposed merger/coalition are.

JoJo Blue: No One Cares About Your Poll Regarding Jim Travers

By ck, on May 27th, 2010

Jim Travers has just won a National Newspaper award among the six that the Toronto Star won recently. You honestly think he cares about your idiotic poll?

Yes, Jojo has just had one of her little moments of self-importance, boys n girls.
