Canada | (Re)Covering (from) the Election

If you’re an actual journalist from an actual journal of note, please - for the love of everything that is decent - please try to keep yourself from using the phrase, ‘Deja Vu All Over Again’.

For one thing, it’s no longer original and for another - it’s no longer original.

That off my chest, the CBC takes a quick look at how the election was covered by the major nets last night.

Typical crummy CBC reporting. Quoted at length is a negative L.A. ‘writer’ for Teevee and Television Without Pity (whatever those may be), whose leftism is not in doubt; and, briefly, a Harvard School of Gov’t prof , much more rational. That’s it, that’s all the sources!

The state owned media organ CBC will wring its hands and tut-tut for days on the totally inexplicable results from the U.S. And in lemming like fashion the somewhat brainwashed masses of Canadians will also shake their heads at who those horrid mis-directed right wing Americans have voted in.

However, some may feel, like myself, that common sense prevailed and Americans chose wisely in not electing a leader favoured by Osama Bin Laden and the Palestinian Authority.
