Bought into the belief in a "liberal media" then? /sigh
The Liberals are rife with idiocy this season and it has gained plenty of coverage. The NDP also gained lots of coverage for the guy who got naked in front of children. You cannot possibly argue that the Conservatives are going to get more coverage simply because Richardson is a Conservative.
He said something unfounded, and politically stupid. It speaks to a certain arrogance that abound in our local Conservative MP's. They can screw up because they know us Calgarians will just vote them back in because we don't actually vote for our specific candidate, but we vote for the party. That's their platform this year... "Vote for Harper".
It's an attitude that I distrust and do not support. Any media outlet is fully justified in raking this man over the coals.
Richardson is my MP. I used to have a fairly high regard for him being that he was an old school PC rather then these new neo-conservative types. But he just lost my faith that he can do his job properly.
