From the link that you originally provided:
This is what I am talking about when it comes to manufacturing controversy and scandal. Someone in the CPC campaign party did an online search, found some information that, if true, could be very embarrassing to the Liberal's campaign, so they turned it over to the media to verify the story's accuracy. The media dug a little deeper and found that the allegations in the story were untrue. We can theorize that they knew it wasn't Ignatieff from the start, but the reality is, even Ignatieff's own people couldn't answer if it was him or not. There was no doctoring of the photo, and at first glance, the info all seemed legit. Yet, here you are, making it sound like there is proof that the CPC not only intentionally fed the media false information, but that they also manufactured this false info as well. Based on what?

Right.
The CPC strategist had this information which was definitely not the Liberal leader, and has since parted ways with the CPC based on this episode, but you still think that somehow the Liberals are the ones who dropped the ball here? Clearly this poor fellow was turfed from the CPC for no good reason then.
Maybe I shouldn't have said doctored, but my argument still stands.
I also have to say that the line you use there about "manufacturing controversy" is deadly accurate here. That is exactly what Muttart was trying to do!
