When the frustrated, flummoxed anti-conservative liberal media (frustrated and flummoxed because they have nothing negative to report on the good Conservative leadership in Prime Minister Harper and team, and only positive things could legitimately be grabbing the main headlines; and team Harper isn’t interested in well-spun talking points and fancy media photo ops; nor kissing biased liberal media butt), they resort to writing about themselves and how sad they are—what victims they are.
Please do NOT confuse this with “petulance” though! We know how they hate that petulance!
Today they write about how “flummoxed” they are, and pass off that flummoxed state of mind as being something that you either do, or ought to have yourself. It’s all about them, in actual fact, but they try to make it sound like it’s about you. It’s all for you—and of course for the kids!
The headline at liberalvision CTV.ca’s web site is this, this morning:
Harper’s media strategy leaves some flummoxed
The “some” is them, not you, and it’s nothing but a story about them, not you. And about their frustrations. Forget all the rather stunning, solid, unambiguous, ground-breaking, positive international diplomacy that Canada is suddenly routinely engaged in these days under Harper’s leadership. This is more serious. People, for the love of God: some sad sad reporters are “flummoxed”!
Canadian Press
HANOI, Vietnam—Canadians first learned one of their senior diplomats had been dispatched to the hermit kingdom of North Korea courtesy of the South Korean government.
The diplomat had been in North Korea for three days.
When officials travelling with Prime Minister Stephen Harper provided skimpy details of his first contentious meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao, Chinese officials were happy to fill the information void.
Harper’s staff sent out a vague e-mail on the meeting – a half-day after it occurred.
Why are the liberal media embarrassing themselves and showing how unprofessional they are and airing their tawdry dirty laundry in public? Because underlying all this is nothing but positives for the Conservative government of Stephen Harper, and of course for Canada, which the liberals hate.
The story goes on—including this next line—a tangent about Vancouver’s recent water problems bizarrely inserted right smack dab in the middle of the story:
Millions in British Columbia were forced to boil their water after storms pounded the province. But Canada’s leader remained silent on the issue until his third day on the ground in Hanoi.
I can tell you as one of the “millions” in British Columbia who have been boiling water for the past several days, I never once—not once—thought about how our Prime Minister felt about my boiling water problems, and I’m a political junkie. I have only cared that the new team strong proud Canada is making their clear-headed unambiguous case in Asia —including North Korea—and making liberal “journalists” expose their bias more, here at home, as a result.
It goes on and on, this hideous lament. It’s pathetic, really, but very revealing.
The prime minister and his staff are determined to exercise message discipline. Veteran reporters who’ve covered other Canadian leaders and some members of Harper’s own caucus and cabinet believe his attempts to control the message may end up suffocating the message.
Harper dismissed the suggestion that he dodged reporters during a meeting of Pacific leaders in Vietnam…
Don’t be deceived (and make no mistake: they are deceiving you). The liberal media don’t want the message. Just like they never cared about a so-called “hidden agenda”. As I’ve said in the past, they never cared about a “hidden agenda” of the Conservatives—they worried that the agenda would be revealed. Liberals and their media have utterly mastered the ignoble con game of “controlling the message”, and “exercising message discipline”, and “suffocating the message”; masking and ignoring and obscuring and twisting and spinning and contradicting and obfuscating and shouting down the good that comes of conservative policies and ideas and people; and featuring in bold print any negatives they can dream-up (to wit, this).
To the extent that this is about average Canadians rather than the liberal media: yes it is, partly, but the object of your disdain should be liberals —their media, and their various mediums —not the good Conservative Prime Minister who is making positive strides in an unbelievably short amount of time, both internationally and at home.
