Media instructions for the day: Blame (whatever) on the Conservatives’ [something bad]

Last weekend I mocked the liberal media for its blustering biased headlines and said this:

Headline in news:
“Tories get failing grade from Sierra Club”
[Actual headline!]

Comment from Joel Johannesen (family-friendly version):
“You don’t say”.

In a new “news” story today, the liberal media can’t let go of their beloved leftist Sierra Club self-proclaimed sense of superiority over anything any non-environmentalist religion conservative might dream up out of thin nutbar air, and they continue to allude to it and their already sacred “failing grade” nonsense even in a story that has nothing to do with it except on the sound Canadian liberal media journalistic basis of “hopefully”

In actual “fact”, there is no basis whatsoever to even allude to it. Unless one is pushing an agenda. 

No, they don’t know why Rona Ambrose’s aid left, so they assume for us, in their “news” story, that he left because (like the reporters and editors, obviously) the aid fell off his chair when the leftist anti-corporate Sierra Club gave the brand new Conservative government a failing grade on the environment. 

So in the headline, he didn’t leave BECAUSE OF the “flak”, but “AMID” the “flak” —“flak” in this case being a media term for “vote Liberal”.

They’re telling you how to think.  They can only hope he left because of the “flak” over Mother Superior Sierra Club’s cute li’l report card, public relations, and find-raising exercise (and early learning program!).  Which if he did leave for that reason, he is a total loser and should take some man lessons.  But I could say that of so many liberals. 

Ambrose’s top adviser leaves amid flak over Tories’ Kyoto stance

OTTAWA – Facing non-stop pressure over her government’s climate change policies, Environment Minister Rona Ambrose has parted ways with her most senior political adviser.

Ambrose’s chief of staff, Daniel Bernier, a former Progressive Conservative strategist, packed his belongings at the office Friday, just as the Sierra Club of Canada gave the new government a failing grade for its actions on climate change and biodiversity.

And the clarifying moment is, of course, that as a general matter, he and all his liberal (“progressive”!) friends should leave the aid of Conservative Party ministers and key government officials to actual conservatives.  In point of fact, it’s good that he left if he disagreed with the Conservative’s position.

But they didn’t interview me about it.  No no.  This is a job for….. GREENPEACE!

“When I met Daniel, I think he was generally interested in the issue of Kyoto, and arguably wanted to do things differently than the Liberals did,’’ said Greenpeace spokesperson Steven Guilbeault on Monday. ‘‘I think that doing things differently for him may not have meant scrapping everything and putting together a (public relations) campaign to make people believe that they are doing something while doing nothing at all.”

And then the liberal media did their excellent work for the week by interviewing an unknown, un-named, indescribable secret agent “Conservative”, who shockingly was agreeable to the (two) liberal media mavens that it took to write this short story, to wit:

One Conservative source suggested Bernier wound up being the scapegoat because of the heat Ambrose has faced since she was sworn in.

Ooh!  A “scapegoat”, huh?  Very good, liberal media!  A “scapegoat” to help “cover up” all the “flak” and “non-stop pressure” over the Conservatives’ environmental plans (which are actually “sane” over here in Saneville).

The bottom line in the “news” article is this:

Before coming to Ottawa, Bernier was an adviser to a minister in Charest’s government.

Charest’s Liberal Party government of Quebec?  The same Charest that just demanded another third of a BILLION Canadian taxpayer dollars so the province of Quebec could embark on its own little Kyoto plan notwithstanding the Canadian government’s plans for Canada?  Gosh.  THAT couldn’t have anything to do with it, I don’t suppose!  That would be Liberal-on-liberal “flak”, and reporting on that, well, just ain’t liberal.
