---Snipped from Canadian Press Article---- Full Article: tinyurl.com/jfm3rThe prime minister says the parliamentary press gallery seems to have decided to become the opposition to his Conservative administration. He told a London, Ont., TV station on Wednesday that he is having problems with reporters in the capital that a Liberal prime minister would never face. So Harper says he will take his message out on the road and deal with the less hostile local media. "Unfortunately, the press gallery has taken the view they are going to be the opposition to the government," Harper told London's A-Channel. "They don't ask questions at my press conferences now. "We'll just get the message out on the road. There's lots of media in the country who do want to ask me questions and hear what the government is doing." The comments were sparked by an incident Tuesday when two dozen Ottawa reporters walked out on a Harper event when he refused to take their questions. The prime minister does not want to hold press conferences unless his staff choose which journalists ask questions from a list they compile. The Ottawa press gallery has refused to play by those rules. -------------------- Is this guy for real?

Harper=LittleBush Where is the Democracy in this. Scripted media, written by the man in charge. Just to make himself look good so he has a better shot at re-election. Government manipulating media=pulling the wool over our eyes. I have no faith in our so called democratic government. It's not "true democracy" if the leaders run government from behind a wall of lies and deceit. Man this gets me angry. I need to go fishing.

He really drives me nuts too!!! I am also a proud non-Harper voter. I think we should send him to an island with the cormarants and let them deal with him. I think he is a useless SOB that is destroying everything this wonderful country has worked for. I for one would like to insert my foot up his A**.......him and Bush!!!!!!! My $0.02

May you bleeding heart liberals all line up, get a second job and pay back the money that was blown on the gun registry, ad scam, the bottomless pit of Indian affairs, the heritage & give away flags minstry(Tequila Sheila)and all those other marvellous blunders that you forget about so quickly. Then there's the money blown out the door on illegal immigrants that get to stay here and overburden our system.

There are alternatives to conservative or liberal. Personally, I think the liberals over spend, over induldge, lie, cheat and steal. They just aren't as good at hiding it than the conservatives.

So, you support a government that will openly ignore national media unless his staff can hand-pick its press attendees?

tinman: no assumption made, just a comment to cover the majority of the liberal pinheads that can't see what the #@*+ is going on and what BS our money is spent on. Slowpoke: Last time I checked and a lieberal government(fed) was in power, did they pay any attention to the media? NOT! All the yelling, screaming, and foot stomping by the auditor general, non the less, did what, liberals shrugging their shoulders, pointing their fingers at the person next to them until there was a big circle (jerk). How many promises did the lieberals keep that were worth anything? At least give this guy a chance. So what if he doesn't like a particular media group, I wouln't trust half those born out of wedlock either. Nothing but sensationalists that have a knack for making something out of nothing.

The two things I fear most in a Government; 1. Blurring the line between church and state. 2. Control over the media.
Perhaps I'm a bit cynical but I don't have much trust or faith in any politician. The Conservative scandles have already started rolling in and you won't hear a peep from the opposition parties unless there is a clear political gain to be had. This is where the media steps in, they'll dredge up anything to sell papers/programming and allow the public to decide for themselves whether or not to be concerned. The media is your friend once you learn how to sift through the sensationalism. When I listen to talk radio shows, it's easy to figure out where the host/guest/caller gets their information!

Oh boy here is a spot where we can all get in trouble. Myself personally I hate the media. They cause more trouble than good and I know this from experience because I had the misfortune of having to deal with the mindless idiots. Conservatives don't really bother me but I tell you the last Liberal Government had to go !! The waste lies and deceit were unbelievable. Don't get me started on gun control !!!!! Enforce the laws and put away the real criminals not bother the average law abiding Canadian. The question I have is will there ever be a Government that we can truly trust. They are all the same. Hopefully the present bunch won't rape us like governments past.
