Either the liberal media is incredibly sloppy and borderline inept and see no need for clarity, or they’re just brazenly dismissive of the importance of brand recognition, or they are fully aware of those things and are anti-Conservative with a capital C.
Where’s the “GRIT”?
Why call the Conservative Party “Tory” in the same headline in which you call the Liberal Party “Liberal” (or what the liberals’ media commonly bothers to type-out as “Canada’s natural governing party”? I think I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen “Grit” in the media. This, despite the fact that it’s got (32-4=) 28 fewer type strokes than “Canada’s natural governing party”.
The Shmukabhunka (or “Shmucks” for short—that’s what I will call the National Post now) has this headline this morning online:
Oil shortage, maybe, but is there also a shortage of internet ink that justifies shortening Conservative to Tory but not Liberal to Grit? If there is, the Shmukabhunka’s editors should axe most of their stories and that irrational passion they have for huge, full-color photos of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama that they use to exemplify their bias daily.
But anyway, meanwhile, the Globe and Mail newspaper, “Canada’s national newspaper”, has another headline about the Harper Conservative plan to build a new icebreaker which, we’re told, will be named after John Diefenbaker, “a fellow Tory.” (And oh the horrors. Naming a ship after a fella who’s in the same dang party. The esteemed Liberal Party of Canada has never done that… of course “grit” is itself another word for both Liberal and abrasive dirt, so… )
