Liberal Debt Goes Unreported in Mainstream Media

Yesterday, I wrote about the Liberal Party's $2,000,000 bank loan. However, as expected, the mainstream media has failed to even mention this fact in their reports. The Canadian Press story on Elections Canada's recently released fundraising numbers does mention that the Liberals were vastly outpaced by the Conservatives and that they made little more than the NDP; however, there is nary a mention of their sizeable loan!

People wonder why Dion is reluctant to force an election. I think that you must examine a party's finances to fully understand why they behave as they do.

The parties never talk about it, but studying their finances is always enlightening.

As they say in journalism "follow the money."

The MSM main job is to protect the liberals and their corruption thievery and no matter what you uncover about the liberals, the MSM keeps a tight-lip on the matter.

actually, CTV newsnet ran the story on their news ticker last night.

furthermore, this is an old story and hardly breaking news.

Curious - Jeff says it is an old story and to be turthfull, I can't say either way. Curious because I read two or three newspapers a day, read Borque and Natinal Newswatch blogs and surf various other blogs and this is the first time I have heard a specific number being attached to a loan taken out by the Liberal Party -- it is obvious it wasn't mentioned to any great extent in the MSM or I would most likely have seen it or been aware of it. Jeff, it is quite evident and apparent that stories unflattering to Liberals are under reported, if at all (see this one) while stories favourable to Conservatives are overlooked (see the prestigious international award received by PMSH for his committment to Isreal and human rights). Your willingness to adopt the "nothing to see here, move along folks" attitude is not helpful to this debate or the country in general -- without an honest, fair media, we are no better than any third world dictatorship - the press ignoring stories to protect their prefered candidates is something we should be concerned about and not simply dismiss because it suits our political persuasion

the prime minister is recognized internationally for the him to recieve a prestigious award and not a word of it in the MSM.

Anon 12:03PM, How many of your friends know or don't know about the prime miniser recieving the highest award on Human Rights.
Why don't you show the photo of the prime minister recieving the award-DELIBERATELY IGNORED REFUSED by the MSM.

Let's face it the MSM are bribed by the liberals to go against Canada troops and her citizens by manipuoating the public. They are as corrupt as the liberals.

Let's keep this story going - let's write CTV and ask them why these 2 stories have not been reported. I noticed we didn't have Robert Fife reporting today - I wrote CTV several times and so did my associates saying we didn't know he became a "School teacher and was marking speeches". We thought it was his job to report facts, not say the liberal speeches were better than the Tory speeches. (that is what he did about the GG and Hillier) - he openly stated their speeches were better than Harpers and McKays.... Imagine! Today, I didn't see him once, so now and then writing and complaing does work! What a treat not to have him on there bashing the Prime Minister's speech, if reporting that he even spoke. He would of "hunt" dion up in the audience and reported his thoughts. These polls out today are "hog wash" - those pollsters were appointed by Martin when he was PM to give them the results they wanted, and they poll the same people all the time - all their liberal friends, to get the same results....

Mary Hines,

Why do you think the liberala continue with the arrogance, insult corruption etc without having to fear a backlash from the public, is because the MSM manipulates the public away from the liberals mess and as long the public remain in that 'state'. the liberals can do as they please.

The MSM fail to realize that those who were manipulated 'woke up' when they(public) sense that something was not 'right' with the scene within the liberal party and to trust themselves to listen to MSM just add more doubt in their minds especially when they question the MSM on the liberals to be met with same B.S. daily.

Turning to blogs for answers to their nagging suspicion of the liberal party they found what bothered them the most. they were badly misguided manipulated etc.
I have written to ctv cbc you name it but as usual which I personally have come to believe is that MSM are afraid of 'you' the public.
