Late Friday, Liberal MP Pablo Rodriguez (a month after the fact) admitted to being charged with refusing to comply with the orders of a police officer:
“Because I’d consumed a moderate amount of wine during the previous supper, the police officer asked me to proceed with a breathalyzer test, using a hand-held machine, which I did without hesitation”
“Despite my attempts to blow into the device, which were not deemed satisfactory, a charge of refusing to co-operate was laid”
I didn’t see one story about this all weekend and looking through Monday’s papers, not a peep. Of course there were and are still multiple Jaffer/Guergis stories…

You are right. This is not a big surprise, and that is quite sad. Thank God ( did I just out myself as part of the evil right wing religious conspiracy?) for bloggers.
The CBC picked a bad week to look into the bias of their news. Just compare the 2 stories (Jaffer and Rodrguez) and tell me I am wrong.

I wonder why the IVISONS, GUNTHERS, ETC can stand idly by and watch other reporters make a mockery of journalism to which point the public have lost faith in them.
CBC is running the show telling canadians what bad for them and not a sound from the good decent reporters.
Time to speak up.

Does the msm even care about their eroding credibility ? Will anyone investigate why the msm is again running interference for the LPC ? The strong supsicion is that, they latch onto a few narratives (eg Harper = Darth Vader), and then only run stories that reinforce said narratives.
So what happened msm … Pablo’s escapade didn’t fit into any of your pre-existing narratives ? And what about Derek Lee’s lobbying ?
Pathetic. On the bright side, this kind of stuff is bound to motivate the Blue Team to keep working hard, as we are reminded once again, how the playing field is tilted against us.

The day CBC ever broadcast for the nation to the nation and not for the LPOC to LPOC- something is dreadfully wrong.
In the meantime until a brand new comes to light, I continue to boost the FOX MEDIA ratings.

This was the plan, since parliament is in ‘recess’ for a week I had expected this. They have to report if the Conservatives start hammering liberals on this next week. Let’s see what happens.

[…] MP from the Liberal caucus as he will only react to media pressure and if the minimal coverage (see here) so far is any indicator, Pablo has nothing to worry about. (see story here) Posted in […]
