Today, for no other possible reason that I can find other than to protect their man Barack Obama from charges of elitism, and moreover, to drum-up more of that yummy anti-conservative chatter, the state-owned, socialism-reliant CBC is once again deploying its taxpayer-funded, socialism-promoting CBC.ca people’s web site to create another round of anti-conservatism. With a good dollop of their anti-Fox News Channel derangement.)
This time it’s with an item based entirely on a link directly to a well-known, extremely anti-conservative web site. American, by the way. They could have linked to any Canadian source like the CTV web site, or cnews.canoe.ca, or Yahoo News, which all carried the same pure BS non-“news” non-story.
The CBC leads the initial direction of what I’m sure is the hoped-for anti-conservative and anti-Fox News Channel “conversation” or “Your View”, by taking a snide, anti-conservative stance to start with, then leaves it all up to the far-left American anti-conservative web site to enhance their anti-conservative and anti-Fox News Channel thoughts and to inspire the appropriate anti-conservative and anti-Fox News Channel commentary.
Note that this is all cast at the CBC.ca web site under “news” (yes, under the actual heading of “NEWS”).
Dijon debacle: What does Obama’s mustard choice say?
Comments (0)
Friday, May 8, 2009 | 11:12 AM ETWhat do burger toppings say about a person? For U.S. President Barack Obama a little “fancy” mustard is speaking volumes, at least as far as conservative pundits are concerned.
During a recent lunch trip to a burger shop in Arlington, Va. Obama asked for dijon mustard on his order, a decidedly un-American request as far as Fox News and several bloggers are concerned.
Is dijon un-American? What’s your mustard choice and what do you think it says about you?
What “conservative pundits”? I saw Fox News’ Sean Hannity refer to it—but it wasn’t and hasn’t been in the context of chastising Obama for being un-American by putting Grey Poupon on his hamburger, it was, ironically, in the context of the suckup, slobbering Obama-loving news media covering his every move — including hamburger buying and eating — as if he’s Jesus walking through the desert (and stopping at a burger joint named “Rays Hell Burger”). For example, the media were all on hand during the obviously scripted moment he and Joe Biden decided to drop into Ray’s Hell Burger, when they supposedly spontaneously and ever so casually decided to stop in and buy a hamburger —without a teleprompter!. All of the media happened to be there. Just by accident! They all covered his spontaneous buying of a hamburger, and carefully homed-in with their microphones on exactly how he ordered it—“he waited in line!” they kept telling us over and over —and exactly how he ordered it, and with what condiments and so on, which, it turns out, included the Dijon mustard.
They might now call this Conservative Dijon-Gate over at the CBC.
The salient point here is that in order to help edify Canadians the way they want to do so, the socialist-reliant CBC leads Canadians directly to a far-left — some say extreme leftist and hateful — web site called Media Matters, which is well-known to all politicos and all news people as a full-on anti-conservative web site. They know this because that’s exactly what they at Media Matters call themselves.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s their “About Us”:
About Us
Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.
Launched in May 2004, Media Matters for America put in place, for the first time, the means to systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation — news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible and that forwards the conservative agenda — every day, in real time.
Using the website mediamatters.org as the principal vehicle for disseminating research and information, Media Matters posts rapid-response items as well as longer research and analytic reports documenting conservative misinformation throughout the media. Additionally, Media Matters works daily to notify activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions.
Media Matters has denied it, but facts seem to indicate that the socialist billionaire George Soros funds the site, along with his huge stable of other such rabidly anti-conservative ventures like MoveOn.org, and, well, virtually every well-known anti-conservative hate or disparagement site and organization.
Wikipedia:
In May 2004, the New York Times reported that Media Matters has received “more than $2 million in donations from wealthy liberals” and “was developed with help from the newly formed Center for American Progress”.[22]DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Established in May 2004, Media Matters for America is a “web-based, not-for-profit … progressive research and information center” seeking to “systematically monitor a cross-section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation.” But in addition to “news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible,” the organization’s concept of “misinformation” includes anything that “forwards the conservative agenda.” Thus political differences of opinion are often portrayed by Media Matters as lies or worse.Radio Host John Gibson:
Online Slime Machine Media Matters Co-Founded by Hillary Clinton
Apart from the CBC, the liberal (and full-on socialist) media is generally taking a bigger poop on this non-story than any “conservative pundits” or Fox News combined ever did. Over at the CTV.ca web site and at canoe.cnews.ca, their eight-million-word Canadian Press stories actually includes the verbiage “DijonGate” in describing the supposedly nefarious “conservative blogger” and the Fox News Channel blasphemy. “Assailing” him, they say.
Obama’s burger topping ‘unAmercian’
By Lee-Anne Goodman, THE CANADIAN PRESSIs there a witch hunt to find fault with Obama?
WASHINGTON – The United States is in the midst of a devastating recession, mired in two overseas wars and grappling with a swine flu outbreak, but conservative critics are assailing President Barack Obama on another pressing issue: his choice of burger topping.
Dijongate is in full force, with Fox News and a conservative blogger leading the charge against the president for his choice of the apparently un-American mustard atop his cheeseburger during a recent impromptu lunch stop with Vice-President Joe Biden.
The liberal news media: Grey Matter Poop-On.
UPDATE:
The CBC’s cabal of intolerant haters are now absolutely predictability and obediently commenting en masse, and all in that perfect CBC-style anti-Fox News Channel and anti-conservative goose-step fashion. They blithely exhibit their absolute HATE for Fox News Channel, and intolerance for and bigotry against conservatives generally. Make no mistake: this is the desired effect.
