Trying to portray the Conservative Party as a party with a “religious right”, “Hidden Agenda” ( ?2000-2005 Liberal-friendly ad firms—used without permission on a constant basis by liberal media like Globe and Mail), is all in a day’s work for the media. I think they think it’s their job to do that, being liberals.
They aren’t the slightest bit embarrassed by their obvious anti-Christian anti-Conservative full-on liberal-left bias, which they constantly shill for in their stories. In news stories their challenge is to manage to work “hidden agenda” into the sub-text and mention the “religious right” in the story. I think they likely high-five each other in the newsroom if they succeed.
Take this huge breaking
effort to ostracize
news story headline and sub-head in the Globe and Mail this morning:
Christian activists capturing Tory races
Some in party worry new riding nominees will reinforce notion of ‘hidden agenda’
An experienced editor clearly caught the words “Vote Liberal!” and deleted them, as well as the words “conservatives are religious freaks and idiots!”
As the excellent Conservative MP John Reynolds said in the story (and I’m surprised they allowed this Conservative rebuttal),
… Mr. Reynolds is offended by attempts to paint the Conservative party as a harbour for religious zealots.
“There were three dozen Liberals who voted with us on the same-sex thing,” he said. “Nobody is going after them and saying, ‘Look at these far-right Christians that got into the Liberal Party.’ “
If reporters who write about Christian fundamentalists taking over his party were to “insert the word Jew everywhere you’ve put Christian, do you think they would let you print it?” he asked. “I doubt it.” …
…“Jew”, or “Muslim”, or “East Indian”, or “Chinese”, or “woman”, or “gay”. Ask Chuck Cadman about his effort to get the Conservative nomination in Surrey and why he’s an independent MP today. The reason you may not know is because it has nothing to do with religion—or at least Christianity. The media isn’t interested in that.
