PIK Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Sure maybe they should investigate it before, they take the word of a police officer who is now being investigated by the Toronto police department, and publish the story eh? That is what fair and balanced media would do. Media for idiots would just publish it with no verification. That is why the sun will be sued for defamation. Why would they be sued, he has admitted to it, as the saying goes''he got caught with his pants down'' So the left does not like it when the tide is turned on them,. harper was alway open target for anything people could find ,could not even fart without being critized. Welcome to the big league jack, now you know the BS harper has put up with the last 5 years.The people of canada need to know what kind of a man jack is, you would think he was republican.

lukin Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) The media should be reporting on things that are actually worth reporting, not on the fact that a certain politician went to get a massage 15 years ago and was not choosey enough in his choice of establishment. Don't you agree? If Layton just went to this parlor for a stress relieving massage then it isn't a big story. However, there are some concerns about the establishment that he visited. That is the story. If this was a greasy massage parlor, did he know what really went on there. Did he go for only ONE massage and on that day it was raided by police, or was he a frequent client? I'm not accusing Layton of anything. However, there are many questions that need to be answered before this story is dropped as a non-story. I didn't care that Harper was in the washroom during a photo-op, but apparently the MSM thought it was a big deal. I just want fairness in the media. If this had happened to Harper in 1996, we all know it would be a huge story today, with front page coverage on all newspapers, and the leading story of all TV news broadcasts. You know, CANADIEN, whether you want to admit it or not that I am right about the hypocrisy of the MSM that this story has brought out. Edited April 30, 2011 by lukin Quote
punked Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I don't know the laws about an ex-cop leaking information. But from everything I have heard or read, the Sun story reported what the cop reported. They didn't say that Layton was playing hide-the-wienie. They left that up to the imagination of the listeners. So I don't think they can get done for libel. Maybe for aiding and assisting the "crime" the ex-cop committed but not for libel. Doesn't matter Section 122 of the criminal code is a breach of trust. When an officer takes notes on situations they are to be kept under lock and key because they are internal police property, as they contain sensitive investigative notes, officers' impressions and often unproven and untested suspicions. Once the officer released those note books he committed a breach of trust which is punishable by 5 years in prison. Police officers are warned of this which is why most do not keep their note books.

CANADIEN Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 he should have known the establishment's reputation (it wasn't a secret). The reputation was such that it was a licensed establishment. As I said before, he should have been more careful, but that's a stretch to say the reputation of the establishment wasn't a secret when there has been nothing of the kind reported. Quote

Welcome to the big league jack, now you know the BS harper has put up with the last 5 years.The people of canada need to know what kind of a man jack is, you would think he was republican. Yep he admitted a police officer busted in when was having a massage. Sounds to me like the police officer who is now the one who committed a crime is the sleazy one. I wouldn't take the word of someone who is now under investigation of the Police over a man who committed no crime. You apparently would I guess I am just a law and order type and you want criminal to roam the streets freely. Quote

And would you and the "Jack Layton had sex with a prostitute" crowd say the same if it was John Baird? I know my opinion of the whole thing would not be changed one bit. Quote
punked Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 i don't but many lefties do. You are the one backing the guy who is under investigation by the Toronto police department over the guy who was cleared of all wrong doing. You figure out who likes the criminals and who doesn't. Quote

August1991 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Nice try. This kind of sleezoid "journalism" has not been visited on Harper.What about wafergate?And in that case, the MSM assumed Harper guilty until he wwas proven innocent. In this case, everyone "official" is more or less on Layton's side. ----- There is a strong lesson in this election campaign (as in the 1992 Charlottetown referendum). The public has a different view of what is important than what the official chattering classes think. Edited April 30, 2011 by August1991 Quote

CANADIEN Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Where have you been?The real world. Reporting that Harper missed a photo op because he was in the washroom is ethical journalism? Did I say that? But quite frankly, devoting two lines to the fact that Harper missed a photo-op up because of his bladder is lazy journalism. What SUNTV is doing is a smear job. If the names were reversed, you'd see the difference. Edited April 30, 2011 by CANADIEN Quote

Until then... since you seem to believe that SUNTV did such a great journalistic job, you won't mind if I base my opinion on what they reported, will you? Quote
CANADIEN Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 The CPC has been smeared for years. The way the NDP is being smeared by claims that they are communists bent on destroying personal liberties, to give one example. Quote
