Now our PM is restricting information from his gov't.

It's just that the old guard that expects all the information for their breaking stories aren't getting any access because of their attitudes. So they complain about it instead of writing said stories.

It's a slow news day when the big story is that the PM didn't hold a scrum.

What do you want to hear? 10 minutes of endless rhetoric everyday, or 10 minutes of good information every week or so? I would have thought the answer was quite obvious.

So where's the 10 minutes of good information?

No kidding. It's a wall of silence.

The only information they're willing to give is the "rhetoric".

It's sad to see so many defenders of this throwing away thier integrity for partisan loyalty.

The MSM has moved on from Harper's morale-boosting leadership-showing trip to Afghanistan to anothet more important story.

Harper is now supposed to be a role model for our youth and he should lose weight. They're concentrating on his "straining" gut and the fact that he had a Root Beer at lunch while the troops had water. It wasn't even a Diet Root Beer!

Pathetic.

And the MSM wonders why their readership/viewership continues to fall...

Lets not confuse the press with his PR flacks. Harper goes for a photo op with the troops and once out of his carefully tailored suits his gut stands out like pregnant woman in her eighth month. The reality is that anything related to the PM is news. If he is so thin skinned as to feel offended by comments on his physical condition he is in for a rough ride.
