    Canadians think George Bush is arrogant?

    http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2...511116-cp.html

    excerpt-The prime minister does not want to hold press conferences unless his staff choose which journalists ask questions from a list they compile. The Ottawa press gallery has refused to play by those rules.

    Now, anyone that knows me, knows I'm anything but a fan of the mainstream media, but for the countries leader to simply refuse to take questions from them unless they're preselected is just fucked up.

    Note-My apologies if this is a repost, search didn't find anything.

    Harper is Bush. Is that really news?

    Albertans will still think Harper is doing the right thing, but hopefully most people see what he's up to.

      In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

              I don't see why they even bother with these phony press conferences.

              They should simply say, the president/prime minister will speak at such and such time and provide a video feed for those stations that want to cover it.

                      Harper is a loser. Was elected because people where tired of the liberals when we all know the scams with goverment started when Mulroney was in charge.

                              the liberals were way more transparent than harper and his gang. If you can't see that, you're an idiot

                              (this doesn't mean the liberals were perfect, this just points out that you shouldn't think something is ok cause you think the guy before did it too)

                                In a subtle way???????????????????????

                                Under Martin, reporters had to submit the questions in writing before the press conference. Martins press secretary would then select which ones could be asked.

                                Best of course , was Pierre Elliot Trudeau's handling of the press. Remember.....

                                "Ummmm, Mr. Mansbridge, mmm, why dont you, mmmm, go fuck yourself?"

                                          I was listening to a radio interview with a veteran CBC reporter a while ago. He said that whenever a journalist arrived in Ottawa during the Mulroney years, they would get a call at their hotel room asking what the purpose of their visit was. The people on the Hill kept *that close* an eye on things.
