If in the next session of Parliament, Iggy doesn't come on stronger than he's gotta go and replace him with someone else. Tom Clark bias show? I know people that think Simon over on CBC Power and Politics is for the Tories. Well, the Government is his boss, maybe he's afraid to being fired if he comes down to hard on the Tories. Tom Clark? I think he should go after the seating government and I expect him to do the same if/when the Libs get back in. Quote

I love when you call Tom Clark a Liberal...and now Jim Travers a Conservative.... I always thought that you were clueless...now I know. Quote
Jack Weber Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) I love when you call Tom Clark a Liberal...and now Jim Travers a Conservative.... I always thought that you were clueless...now I know. And I thought only the Left had simpering bedwetters... Clueless works in this case,as well.... The OP really does show a limited grasp of things and an intellectual immaturity,does'nt he? Edited August 16, 2010 by Jack Weber Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Smallc Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 BTW, I like both Tom Clark and Jim Travers. I think (no matter where they may be on the spectrum) that both have a great deal of integrity and intelligence. Quote

I think (no matter where they may be on the spectrum) that both have a great deal of integrity and intelligence. I agree...I don't think either one of them are terribly ideologically driven.Tarring Traverse with the "Liberal" paint just because he writes for the Toronto Star is like calling John Ibbitson are raging conservative because he used to write for the Globe and Mail.It's a label that simply does'nt fit. The only thing I've seen Clark do that might get some of the con viewer's knickers in a knot is when,after asking three times for a straight answer on any particular subject,he basically(and rightfully so) tells the government hack that he/she has had a chance to repond,and won't,and is'nt getting another chance...

Smallc Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) And by doing that, Clark is doing what any good journalist would do....at least, I think so. He does the same thing to the opposition, too. Travers did the same thing during the whole coalition thing. He talked about how Harper was lying (about the legitimacy of the coalition), and he wouldn't let Charles Adler try to paint it in any other way when he was a guest on the program.

You mean Charles "It's Coupscam,I tell ya'!" Adler??? Did he try to shut off Traverse mike,a la Bill O'Reilly? Of course Clark should basically disallow the same stupid non-answers direct off the presses in the PMO.It not news and it's not even information...It's called spin,or more correctly,BS.When a party hack is asked a question three times,and simply gives up the same crapola that he/she clearly has been told to say,they've been given enough chances and have forfeited their time... I love it when Clark does that,and then gives the time to the Opposition.I've seen him do it to the Opposition rep's,as well.It great!Give us an answer or get lost!!In fact,he's alot more polite about it than I would be...

Smallc Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) You mean Charles "It's Coupscam,I tell ya'!" Adler??? Yes, him and his buddy Roy Green telling everyone, over and over, to email [email protected] (totally ignoring the role of the Governor General) to tell her not to allow the coalition. And I don't think he turned off Travers' mike....he just tried to redirect the conversation (as he always does..I especially like...or liked, I don't listen anymore...his Ignatieff topics where the guests were simply a means to an end for him). This time, he was unsuccessful. Edited August 16, 2010 by Smallc Quote

But I remember the very same thing... Perhaps this is why we need Fox News North...Because things are so obviously imbalanced?

Any luck yet? get Jim Travers is the furthest thing from a conservative. Travers has made a career out of slamming conservatives, whether they're in gov't or not. Smallc, grab a clue buddy. Quote
Jack Weber Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Yeah!!! Grab a clue,Smallc...Don't you get it??? We are awash in leftist media!!! Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
