The news story's fearmongering (that I may be listed with CSIS just for watching it) is a bit on the paranoid side, don't you think? If CSIS is adding my IP address to a watch list over this ad, it's a safe bet my IP address is already there. When journalists start tossing that kind of thing into their stories, it really doesn't help readers think with clear heads. Not an example of good journalism, in my opinion; rather the contrary.
I agree, it's so over the top it's actually ruined the entire story. How silly. I get that this is news, and I also get why TV and media don't want to run this ad. To add that stupid comment about CSIS just makes the Straight look like a two-bit leftist rag, and another NDP propaganda arm.
