The media has taken their view of Ignatieff from the Conservatives. Their noses are far up Harper's butt and few will be able to break from the Ottawa pack and just report without injecting Conservative Party talking points into every story on the Liberals.<br /><br />Yeah, that was a rant but I think after hearing the "Howard Dean moment" line repeated by CTV and by the G&M the media deserve it.<br /><br />Ignatieff shocked me by how he broke so far from how the Conservatives and the media portray him with his speech yesterday. And the media's response was to attack him for contradicting their narrative.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876442776701189706noreply@blogger.com
