When Justin Trudeau proclaimed that he does not watch the news (if it&#39;s important, someone will tell him), the media was not outraged. When he was first elected, he was criticized for not being worldly enough. Now he... is being criticized for being too worldly -for watching foreign news? The PM MAKES news he does not watch it!Read MorePeternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-64700850105946324422009-10-23T13:24:45.424-04:002009-10-23T13:24:45.424-04:00Well, CBC reported this AM that 27 of CTV&#39;s on-air personell heve been chosen as Olympic Torch Bearers. This, of course, after CTV was chosen as the Official Network of the Olympics. <br /><br />I wonder if that kind of commercialization of the Olympics by a right-wing network -former home of The Puffster- is American enough to make Harper change channels?<br /><br /><br />DJCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-37888495607289462852009-10-23T07:08:08.347-04:002009-10-23T07:08:08.347-04:00This PM likes to rub salt in the wound. The little devil knows the reaction he gets whenever he loads his gun on these kinds of off-the-cuff remarks. The caffeine-inspired wisdom at Tim&#39;s probably agrees with his affections. It is noted , however, that he likes Corner Gas, ans TSN hockey and probably watches the Mercer Report.

He just could not control his temper if he watched it and discovered his team of control freaks have not yet put their own Big Brother stamp on everything.<br /><br />Sadly for him, it takes more than a turn at the piano to re-make this monster.<br /><br />I&#39;ll bet he watches good old FOX news and dreams of the day he might control the media like that here. He&#39;s already got CTV and Canwest, with CITY TV going down the tubes next. <br /><br />Thank heaven for the CBC, even if they too are cowed by Harper&#39;s threats, they still put out the best effort of them all.Deb Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-82744740742401443002009-10-22T15:43:55.925-04:002009-10-22T15:43:55.925-04:00Watching Cdn news, especially The Mother Corp, is carcinogenic -- it causes bloated bland glands to explode with mediocrity.W Keelernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23948057.post-38536017595930605792009-10-22T15:42:23.546-04:002009-10-22T15:42:23.546-04:00American TV news?
