To get the attention of Conservatives in Canada in hockey fan/Prime Minister Harper’s Conservative Party, maybe I should have headlined it “Palin and tea party shoot!  She scores!”  Then maybe the canucks would take notice, and take the facts of politics seriously.

After last night’s repeat win, I think we’ve (“we” being actual conservatives, a.k.a. “we the people”) now finally at least got the serious attention of American Republicans.  But are Canadian Conservatives still hiding under their desks? 

Oh yes they are.  They’re still being conducted, as to their “conservative” political “principles”, and their more public sickeningly p.c. (which stands for both “politically correct”, and, coinkydinkly, “Progressive Conservative”) pronouncements, by the likes of perhaps one of the most ineffectual and pedestrian columnist in Canada, the liberal/progressive Vancouver Sun’s Barbara Yaffe.  She, as the apparent self-anointed arbiter of conservative “extremism”, wrote last week, ever so tenderly, using ever so moderate language, on the very day before September 11:

But this country probably is too politically cautious and traditional to tolerate Palin’s eccentricities and extremism.

Palin (in reality the very bastion of traditional), Yaffe declares, is the extremist.  On September 10 yet.  Is Yaffe merely being ironic?  Is she obtuse?  Who knows?  But this is how liberals and all progressives think.  Show them a picture of Palin and one of Saddam Hussein, and they’ll point to Palin as the dangerous one.  (A Coulterism.)  And they’ll do it on September 10.  And worse, they’ll do it on September 12.

And they’re still bobbing their heads following the baton of ludicrous, wishful, hopeful, breathless liberal media headlines following last night’s Sarah Palin/tea party win, in newspapers across Canada and the world like this actual Reuters headline in the left-wing Toronto Star:  “Tea Party win hurts Republicans’ U.S. Senate chances”.  Are they also obtuse?  Or just living in Opposite Land ‘o Irony?  Actually, no, they’re so desperate to stop us, they pretend — compromising their very newspapers’ credibility and objectivity — that unless we stop doing what is obviously so massively popular, then owing to that fact, we’ll obviously lose.  We always knew the progressives and liberal elites thought we were stupid, but this is ridiculous. 

But you know, the people at the local newspaper are just being community-minded and altruistic and they’re just lookin’ out for little old us, folks!  Trust ‘em!  Stop voting for conservatives!  Then you’ll win! 

They should all wise up.  Sara Palin and the tea party movement is “going away”, as so yearned by the state-owned CBC/National Post News and Advertising Cooperative newspaper, most “Tories”, and all the other progressives in Canada — in much the same way the iPhone is “a fad” which will eventually yield back to the superior old land line.

Never forget those who dismiss Sarah Palin and the tea party movement and what she and they (we) believe in and stand for, because they obviously don’t stand for you and me and what you and me stand for.  At all.  They’re pushing an agenda.  A progressive, left-wing agenda.  And you can’t trust a news media that is pushing an agenda.

Elites like them and all their progressive friends should be roundly shunned in Canada once and for all.  Or do as I do:  laugh at them and their lack of prescience and their lack of political prowess and sophistication. I mean right in their faces.  Because liberals all believe everybody in the room agrees with them.  Make it clear to the room:  we don’t agree with them. 

Speak in bold colors.

EXTRA REALITY:
And here’s how Fox News Channel presents reality.  I.E., like reality.  See, unlike the ever so considerate newspapers’ headline above, the reality is that it’s only DEMOCRATS who HOPE tea party victories mean Republic Party losses.  It’s not a general statement of fact.

The veritable Obamagasm continues unabated in the Canadian liberal media today as it has virtually every day, especially since the U.S. primary season began.  (See my blog entries categorized under “U.S. Election” for copious examples of the Obama/Clinton obsession (fetish?…yes I think so) in the liberal media in Canada.  I’m actually having a very hard time keeping up, and despite the countless dozens of examples, I’m sure I’ve missed more than I’ve stumbled across). 

Today we find, among other possible examples I’ve missed, that once again, Maclean’s magazine features the great OBAMA on their latest cover and in a glowing report.  And once again—for the 8,000th time—the National Post is featuring another story on ♥ their man ♥ , the great OBAMA. 

So far they’re showing no signs of being embarrassed by their obvious promotion of liberals in politics, which as I said in a recent blog entry exemplifying their bias, has actually turned into a blatant, unabashed media propaganda machine.

EXTRA EXTRA:

The Vancouver Sun, Calgary Herald, Ottawa Citizen, and Montreal Gazette all feature similar stories on the great OBAMA today.  And only Obama.  The Star Phoenix actually only has one story about the U.S. elections, and it’s one that actually mocks Republican Mike Huckabee for believing like a Christian—it’s a story about a shrimp or some such creature that was discovered and is being used to bolster the theory—yes it’s a theory, folks!—of “Darwinian evolution”.  They mock Huckabee for believing in Creationism, as all Christians do, to one degree or another.  The Victoria Times Colonist has the same story but also adds one about the great OBAMA!

• Canadian family unit continues to vanish, as liberals planned

 

You really have to watch liberalvision in Canada to believe it.  I could never simply explain this kind of news reporting to an American or a citizens of any country, really —except possibly an Iranian, North Korean, or Chinese citizen—those who are used to such blatant propaganda. 

Just now, on CTV Newsnet, “news” anchor Kate Wheeler introduced some “news”.  Turns out that apparently, the great OBAMA has a “secret weapon” in his bid to win the Democratic Party candidacy for president.  We know this because the CTV banner told us so. 

Are ya like me?  Are ya just dying to know what the “SECRET WEAPON” is?  Me too!

I kid you not. 

Hey how did they pass this “weapon” by the crack U.N. weapons inspectors?! 

They interviewed many people regarding this, um, OBAMA wife news.  It was all extremely favorable.  Fawning.  Glowing.  Suck-uppy to the enth degree.  Fabulously adoring.  It was the hideously liberal-left biased media at its best. 

Apparently no other candidates—especially Republicans!—have wives.  Or, perhaps, they just all suck and are morons (they are Republicans!), and thus could not be classified as “SECRET WEAPONS”. 

The OBAMA “news” story lasted 3 minutes and 10 seconds. 

Ironically, speaking of “weapons”, their previous piece on Bush’s Mid East trip in which he’s trying to achieve historic peace, lasted 1 minute, 11 seconds. 

Well done, CTV.

As I’ve been updating you for a couple of weeks, Canada’s liberal media is hysterically obsessed with liberals insofar as the 2008 U.S. election cycle.  Just about all they talk about—and talk about whether it’s warranted or not (yesterday I pointed you to a CBC radio interview with… far-left radical feminist Gloria Steinem and her take on Hillary!… which is still featured there today) —concentrates on Democrats, while largely or completely ignoring Republicans.  It’s Obama/Clinton, all day long, every day. 

Note that the next primary is in Michigan, and involves ONLY Republicans—not Democrats.  So you’d think all they’d be talking about were Republicans and that primary.  But no.  Not at all.  They are obsessed with liberals, and telling you all about them.  Imprinting them in your minds, while ignoring Republicans as best they can—or at least relegating them to a place of very minor significance, a distant second to the importance of Democrats.  Don’t take my word for it—just look at the graphics of the newspapers and online news sources I‘ve provided recently.  The news media graphically prove themselves to be biased—as if the biased words use in their reporting weren’t enough. 

Between the state-run CBC and all the other liberal media in Canada and their hideously biased reporting, you could forgive some people from seeing this as some sort of a junior Goebbels effort (he was the Nazi Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda) or a shot at the Soviet Union or North Korean attempt at mind-control of the population.  Of course to those of us in the sensible set, it just makes us laugh.

Received Friday January 11, 2008

Joel……In your Thursday review of media bias concerning the U.S. primaries you forgot the Montreal Gazette……..

They had 2 HUGE (and positive) articles on page 2 and 3 ….one about HILLARY and one about OBAMA……..no articles about Mitt or John or Mike…????

But they did have a tiny little blurb about Giuliani (negative of course) having had a bomb threat at a venue he was speaking at in Florida.

It’s no wonder Canadians are always shocked every time the presidency goes to a Republican……all they ever hear about are Democrats.///

Bruce

I don’t know how I missed it but I did.  So here it is—a nearly two-pager —full pages— on page two and three of the Montreal Gazette yesterday.

…liberals.

In my latest and probably final report on in my American presidential election series about how Canada’s liberal media is so liberal they don’t even know how liberal they are anymore. and how totally obsessed —perhaps instinctively or perhaps simply more purposefully, blithely driving their liberal-left agenda— here are some examples of how they covered yesterday’s New Hampshire primaries in today’s papers (and online in some cases). 

For other examples of the same kind of coverage, review my previous reports [here (after Iowa) | here (before New Hampshire)].  Together they could form an excellent graphical addition to a book about the abject liberal media bias in Canada.  Of course we don’t need a book, as everybody who has an ounce of honesty would admit.  And that “ounce of honesty” (or more to the point, the lack thereof) is precisely why no media would admit to it, nor will they write books including my pictures.

UPDATES as needed below…

Forget all the “mania” in the liberals’ media about their candidate, Democrat Barack Obama.  Looks like the only “mania” that exists is in the Republican side.  Republican John McCain appears at this moment to have ripped the pants off Republican Mitt Romney on the Republican side (that’s the side the media tried to ignore as best they could) and he has been declared the clear winner by Fox News Channel.

Meanwhile the liberals’ other candidate, the Democrats’ Hillary Clinton (currently leading, as I write) and their Obama are demonstrating anything BUT a “mania” of any sort, kind, type, look, model, or feel, on the Democratic side—for either of them.  It’s a close race and in fact Clinton is ahead at this moment 40% – 36% with 21% of the precincts reporting.  Where’s the “mania”?

The liberals’ media could scarcely have been more wrong. 

But like the good news out of Iraq and the success of the Iraq surge, or good news out of Afghanistan: they won’t report this either.

UPDATE:

As of 7:30 PM PST, Associated Press has called Clinton the winner in this “Obama mania”, “Obama Fever”, “Obama’s big day”, um, race of the century.  (And McCain for the Republicans).  (The Republicans are the other party.) 

7:33 PM PST—a TV network called it for Clinton. 

7:46 PM PST—CNN calls it for Clinton. 

7:46 PM PST—Fox News Channel calls it for Clinton.
