Since approximately one hour and 14 minutes after Prime Minister Stephen Harper was sworn in, the mainstream media geniuses have predicted “an early end” to the honeymoon.
They used phrases like:
· “There may not even BE a honeymoon for this lot…”
· “The honeymoon will be over before it even starts…”
· “It will be a short honeymoon…”
· “That was the shortest honeymoon in recent memory…”
· “Canadians won’t tolerate their bunker mentality and the honeymoon will end…”
· “With the Emersongate corruption and promise-breaking Conservative Party Harpergate scandalgate gate scandal, the scandal affair will cause the honeymoon to end abruptly…”
· “Harper’s belly is big, yielding an end to the honeymoon as honey is full of sugar…”
…only to find that in poll after poll—some of which the media paid for themselves—the Harper Conservatives are gaining in popularity week after week. The trend is UPWARD.
No, the honeymoon isn’t “over”, “before it even started”, it is building. Growing. People are liking this team more and more with each passing day.
In actual fact, a pollster from Leger Marketing, Jean-Marc Leger, was, contrary to regular media commentary which extolls the virtues of hating conservative things like Harper and his government, forced by the reality of facts to report yesterday—more than THREE MONTHS AFTER the precipitous honeymoon-ending swearing-in that…
“It’s a real honeymoon between Canadians and Stephen Harper,” said Jean-Marc Leger, president of Leger Marketing, who believes the numbers would have translated into a Tory majority government had an election been held during the polling period.
“With that kind of result, he could start to think about having an election here in Canada because he could win a majority government.”
I’m still looking for a feature report from any of the liberal media explaining where they went so wrong, so many times, and explaining how that could happen (could there be an abject liberal-left bias and anti-conservative bent running through the media? That’s just a suggested sub-topic!), and about how that could possible continue to happen in a “fair and balanced” media which has the interests of Canadians and doing their job properly at heart.
In other news, the honeymoon is well over for the media.
