Once again the liberal*vision CNN has read their emails and has written today about an issue close to Canadian liberals’ hearts: No, not dead Canadian soldiers, but rather the Canadian liberal media-led pseudo-controversy surrounding the Canadian liberal media’s desire to use dead Canadians to make a huge anti-war, anti-American, anti-Bush statements and Juno Award-winning video productions out of our fallen soldiers in Afghanistan, and to (hopefully!) diminish Canada’s resolve in fighting terrorism alongside those awful Americans.
As I see it, CNN rarely if ever picks up on Canadian news stories unless they’re somehow anti-Bush, anti-American, anti-Christian, pro-gay-marriage, anti-conservative, or pro-group sex. Then they’re all over them.
But in this one they did include some lines from Conservatives, which in itself makes it worthy of mention here. (Clearly they didn’t understand the emails.)

[Conservative Prime Minister Stephen] Harper said that “when there is a fatality in Afghanistan or in another theater the media does film the casket being loaded onto the plane in Afghanistan. From that point on, the government will respect all traditional military practices and protocols.”
“In the case of dealing with funerals and families who are grieving, I know the minister of national defense’s primary consideration is that we do everything possible to assist at the departmental and political level with the grieving the families may be holding.”
Gordon O’Connor, minister of national defense, said, “There is no intention whatsoever of hiding anything from the press.”
He pointed out that “embedded reporters, print reporters, TV reporters” are in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar, where Canadian troops are based, and “everything is recorded.”
“We are insisting that at Trenton, when the bodies return, the first time the families meet their fallen members, that there be a time of personal grieving,” O’Connor said.
“If the families want the media involved, they may get them involved in the memorial ceremonies or at the funerals. Some families do not want them involved, and some families do. We are being consistent.”

The liberal media in Canada still fails to grasp all this. No scratch that. They understand this full-well. What they fail to do is to admit that they’re trying to help America lose the war on terror.
Fox News Channel appears to be on America’s side. That’s the side I’m on too. And probably most Americans are too. That’s why Fox News Channel is by far the most popular news channel in America—far more popular than CNN. Canadian media should check out the news model being used there at FNC which is based on presenting a pro-America and pro-all-the-truth idea. Scratch that. Canadian media may already have proven that they’re too far gone for that.
