Globe And Mail Misleading Civil Service
The head of Statistics Canada admits that he resigned because he read a misleading headline at the Globe and Mail (a paper well known for its misleading headlines where Jane Taber sets the agenda). Then others such as the CBC's Don Newman jumped on the resignation as an example of magnificent civilian integrity that he would resign over such a principled matter. Really? Had the Globe and Mail not misinterpreted Tony Clement in a headline, it is unlikely that the man would have resigned. Sure an idiot could blame the Tories for "forcing" him out, but he left because the Globe drew the wrong conclusions from a minor statement. That is not the fault of the Conservative government, it is the fault of those who set the agenda at the Globe and Mail. Journalistic malpractice led to the resignation of the boss of Statistics Canada. Where is the Globe's apology?

How do you lose integrity if you never possessed it?
ReplyDeleteI think you give the news media in general way too much credit.
TMZ has better standards. They admit they are chasing fluff.
Here is a headline that will please the G/M.
ReplyDeleteG/M pleases liberals for incorrect information.
G/M keeps the liberals on going
G/M, T/S CBC CTV support the LIBERAL CORRUPTION
G/M, T/S, CBC, CTV are afraid of the LPOC
To the G/M-" where is the missing millions of dollars taken by the liberals?
Another reminder to all those suckers in the media- Jean Chretien liberal, was in government when 15yr old OMAR KADHR was arrested and left in GITMO all those years- NOT THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
If the man resigned because of a misread headline in a newspaper then I say good riddance. Who needs a dolt like that running anything more than a hot dog stand.
ReplyDeleteWhere was that ' magnificent civilian integrity ' during the Chretien Adscam years?

ReplyDeleteSame with Maher Arar and William Sampson,
all the nasty stuff done under the 'progressive' governing of the Liberal Party of Canada
Dave Rutherford did a great 20 minute rant today, against the msm in general, and then picking appart Jeffrey Simpson's column from yesterday.
ReplyDeleteDave calls it "the most hysterical story of them all. Simpson has gone completely off the deep end. I think he is a AFRAID. He is having difficulty sleeping at night"
Listen here @ 9:10 AM
So what other info did Munir misinterpret while at stats can. They sure goofed re the jobs report last month. And they will make another wrong conclusion when all those construction jobs are gone come winter.

ReplyDelete... from Quebec Liberal MP Denis Coderre – “I am not against a coalition after an election if the numbers ensure a more stable government”
Gotta love those loose cannons on the S.S. Liberal, who have no love lost for Iggy, and are helping to make da Little guy look good.
Chretien seems to have a thing about creating legacies, and setting records that no future Liberal leader will match. And we all know that "winning elections" is the be all and end all for him.
Poor Iggy, what to do, what to do. Luckily for him, the media keeps running interference, largely avoiding this very interesting "coaltion" narrative.
It surely is a joke to keep saying,Chretien won 3 elections.No other party was running against him.In no other time frame in Canadian history would Chretien have been elected.He fell into power because the Conservatives were running as 2 parties Reform and Conservative.A monkey could have been leader of the Liberal party and won.
