I was too hasty in prognosticating about a possible end in sight for the National Post’s “Daily Hillaracks” as I’ve been calling them. (See last entry here).
Once again, as we have seen many times in the past, the National Post, while fawning over their Hillary The Magnificent and The Great Obama nearly every day with huge glowing photos and happy stories and shiny positive bios and anecdotes, they choose to hit Republican John McCain once again today with that yummy Democratic Party talking point, the “old” tag line—actually in the National Post’s case, it’s more than a tag line— it’s a repeated headline.
They did it here and here, and possibly in more articles I’ve missed.
In case you didn’t know, John McCain is an old geezer. And a damn Republican. This is (at least) your third reminder.
If you back away from the page a bit, you can see (at right) how they were sure to include their ubiquitous, huge, full-color, rather complimentary, above-the-fold, gratuitous photos of the candidates—only the Democratic Party candidates—even though the article referred to above was about McCain, and the editorial column to the left of it was about the whole Presidential race generally—i.e., all candidates. (They did include a tiny picture of McCain at the extreme bottom of the page, in which he looks like… a half-dead old geezer, of course).
One other time, they published a huge article about McCain being “untrustworthy”. So don’t worry, McCain’s the “untrustworthy” one, despite Hillary’s | lies (about which there is a paucity of information in the National Post and nearly nothing in any other Canadian media); and despite Obama’s demonstrably vacuous, specious blather, and his repeated exaggerations, and of course his now infamous outright double-talk on NAFTA (which all Canada’s media blames on Conservative Party of Canada operatives leaking… the facts… about Obama… and his double-talk… so it’s their fault…. see).
Another article is a continuation of an article off the front page of the National Post, and here, it is headlined “I like Democratic ways”, as you can see. Another Democratic voter? No. If you bother to read the article, the words were spoken by a man who is actually voting for Republican John McCain. Why that headline then? I suspect it’s because the editor or reporter is publishing in a vicarious manner. HE or SHE “like[s] Democratic ways” and wants you to as well.
This today (for the 8,000th time), from what Canada’s Left (and even “conservatives”, quixotically) call Canada’s “conservative-biased” newspaper.
Golly it’s a wonder that Canadians poll the way they do when asked about U.S. politics, huh? And how that lame Stephane Dion and his inept, principle-challenged Liberals poll at par with Canada’s Conservatives?
