A very incomplete article because no mention was made of the librul wars on Christmas and Easter.

It's sad to see Canadian conservatives become as paranoid as their American brethren. The problem, I think, is their media. FOX News screams at them all day to get them riled up, and that's making them crazy.

Right wing media is doing more harm to this country than the terrorists could ever hope to.

Left wing media is doing more harm to this country than terrorists and right wing media combined.

Honestly? I think both extremes of media - along with the milquetoast mindless middle - are causing serious problems of perception in the public's collective tiny-mind.

And it is only going to get worse.

No, not honestly, my tongue was firmly in my cheek. I was taking an absurd piece of rhetoric and making it even more absurd. That's all.

LOL! Yes and so is the Georgia Strait, Huffpoop and the Toronto Star. Solid truth-tellers, all. :)

Only a complete fool would only gather information from either strictly the extreme left or right of the media. I choose to have an open mind and read everything, I can't think of a better way to actually make an informed opinion.....

I just find the goofs at the Tyee so off the charts nuts that they are about as valuable as Ezra Levant is for the right-wing loons, entertainment value only. When I read the ode to Hugo Chavez on the Tyee after Chavez died, and all the accolades those bozos heaped on such a giant leftist scumbag, I couldn't ever give those clowns the time of day again. They live on a different planet. And it's not a good planet.

The Tyee also has some very good articles. One of the best journalists in BC is Bob Mackin, he is not a lefty, he puts out well written, well researched articles. He finds and exposes the dirt on every politician regardless of their political stripe, but because he often finds pure evidence pointing to wrongdoings with our current government the MSM won't publish his story, while the Tyee will publish it.
