Journalmalism

Headline in the Vancouver Sun: Canadians frown upon Liberal-NDP coalition. First line of this story: Canadians have given a thumbs-down to the notion of a merger between the Liberals and NDP, a poll suggests. Do you see the difference? Of course you can, you are neither a retarded three year old nor a journalist working for one of Canada's news outlets. Merger and coalition are two different concepts, but the MSM insists on using them interchangeably. They know that if they do not, they cannot confuse people and make them angry and making and keeping them angry seems to be our media's main job. No wonder Harper was able to manipulate the coalition debate so easily in 2008. Our press corp is corrupt in its soul.

It's Over

The parties met yesterday about the Afghan detainee documents. The media didn't even bother to write about it. The government has won -- again. It must be lovely negotiating with people without backbones. It makes things so easy. We now officially live in an absolutist republican state, in everything but name. L'etat, c'est Steve.



Update: Shorter opposition parties: If you don't stop screwing around we are telling on you! This time we really mean it! To which I reply, why is this Monday's deadline any more sacred than the one from two weeks ago? Deadlines only work if they are, you know, final.

Instant Update: And when I read a sentence like "A spokesman for the Liberals said the talks are still proceeding in good faith.", I know that the fix is in.

A Prime Example

Lawrence Martin gives us in one paragraph, a great example of why Canada is completely fucked:

What was irrational about the coalition talk was the suggestion that the situation in any way paralleled the one that led to the merger of conservative parties six years ago.

We have a political commentariat that does not know the difference between a coalition and a merger.

Update: Travers piles on. Really, the Liberals (and increasingly, the idea of a coalition) are royally screwed and all because the media's agreed upon narrative is a complete nonsense. It is electoral reform all over again.
