Don't worry I understand you can say anything negative about the Fuhrer. Media critics of the Rebel stood up for their rights while you supported censorship of the press that doesn't fit your political narrative, hypocrite.

I've seen Caleb post negative things about every side. Calling him a hypocrite or implying that he plays favourites is pretty laughable actually. Especially since you still haven't provided a shred of evidence to back up your assertion that the CBC lies.

When it comes to the CBC and Conservatives everything they spin are lies and that's a fact.

You can keep saying it, but until you provide examples you've got nothing. And, to be clear, I'm saying this as someone who does believe the CBC is biased, but if you're going to pull attitude with Caleb you're gonna have provide proof when you assertions.

Not saying you're wrong. She did cave. Your choice of words doesn't do you much credit though.

I don't know about elsewhere, but here in Alberta, the media gets a copy of the budget 4-6 hours before it is made public, so that they can draft whatever news items they want for their news organization. The only catch is you have to be accredited media to get into those events - they don't let in bloggers or citizens (as Sheila Gunn Reid refers to herself) or average joes.

That's a very regressive policy in an age when anyone can become a member of the media simply by having a camera and a web page.

Example: Matt Drudge might not be an accredited member of the media but anyone fucking with him is going to discover that he's got a bigger audience than many major media outlets combined.

Sorry, but I don't agree with the government getting prior approval over who covers their activities and any government that does this kind of thing deserves to be overthrown before they get too full of themselves.

The government isn't stopping anyone from covering them, they are only restricting access to those who want the info BEFORE it is made public.

And it's common practice with lots of governments worldwide - IIRC, media outlets were told about the Bin Laden raid several hours before the public was.

Many media outlets also like the policy because it gives them time to produce good copy and slick graphics packages well ahead of their newscasts.

That makes it win-win for both sides.

Every province, afaik, and certainly the fed gov has a policy of putting the media in "lock up" hours before the budget speech so they can prepare their news releases as soon as the budget is released to the public. I do believe it is the press gallery who decides who is accredited media, and in Ottawa at least, the Rebel is accredited.

Just goes to show you don't fight raving lunatic liars by giving them exactly what they want - attention.

But having a free press is an important part of a democracy. At what point does government regulation as to who or what constitutes a 'journalist' start to become state control of the media?

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but isn't this exactly what Rebel supporters are saying? And isn't it what you've been disagreeing with?

No, I'm saying the Legislature is for the people, and anyone should be allowed to attend. 'Journalist' isn't regulated so anyone, including 'The Rebel' can claim that title.

But the government has the right to say who should and should not be allowed access to embargoed information, like early copies of the Budget. The government, for example, has every right to disallow those 'Freemen on the Land' access to early copies of the Budget, and no one disagrees with that choice. If Ezra chooses to focus his hate on the Alberta NDP while ignoring every other government in every other province, why should they allow him any courtesy?

lol, yea, because everyone read where I called 'The Rebel' Nazis and supported the crushing of the Free Press. Your partisan support of Citizen Ezra and the CPC blinds you to their failings.

Give up while you are still behind. Learn your lesson that when you write stupid things, you'll get called out to back them up.

The fact you believe the CBC doesn't spin propaganda lies against Consevatives speaks volumes of your bias just like your support of censorship against Rebel Media who doesn't fit your political narrative which makes you a hypocrite, quit while your ahead.
