Having said that, it was definitely not handled very well. Addtionally though, where are the news stories about people being denied access to Liberal events (they are out there if you look for them), or the case of the "Liberal thugs" elbowing a pregnant reporter to keep her away from Iffy? Again, very one sided media coverage in this election.
3) The broadcast folks have said that the 1:1 debate won't happen, and Layton raised holy h e double hockey sticks about any thought of it. Harper did not "flip flop" on any debate challenge, but again believe the one sided media report on the issue if you must.

I would agree with most of your comments and would normally give the benefit of the doubt to each instance... if each event was a one off. But it's been a string of over the top controlling actions since the campaign began that is the most alarming.
