Given the station's sleaziness, Sun TV's Alex Pierson, in high dudgeon over the Twitter 'attacks' on poor Vic Toews, has an especially rich comment about 'tabloid journalism' at about the 3:15 minute mark on this video.
UPDATE: The video link no longer works, but Pierson, in the segment, professes shock at the kind of tabloid journalism at work in the Twitter 'attack' on Towes. I guess they don't allow mirrors in the Sun TV studios.
I don't understand why all these political panel pundit types are rising up in cross-partisan feeling against the horrible "attacks". All the vikileaks information is (supposedly) sourced from publicly available documents. Supposedly because the (supposed) journalists can't be bothered to (don't want to) go out and verify it.
ReplyDeleteAt a minimum, compare 100% factual information lifted directly from public documents against the creative smear and fear campaigns the CPC (and parties like it) mount against opposition leaders.
"Will Michael Ignatieff raise taxes?" *short clip of Ignatieff shouting YES!*... except the context had nothing to do with taxes at all
