The Magnanimity of Stephen Harper

The generosity of spirit that has marked Stephen Harper's regime since assuming office was once more evident today. After more than 30 days of refusing to answer questions from reporters, today Mr. Harper was moved at a 'press conference' at Rideau Hall to allow four questions: two from the English media, and two from French-Canadian media. The full convoluted story can be found here.

My only question is why the press allows itself to be party to this kind of charade of openness and transparency.
