Well to be fair, you wouldn't trust her regardless of what was happening, you have been very clear of that throughout this thread.
As has been mentioned, of course you don't pull the skeletons out of your own closet during an election. You didn't see Danielle Smith mentioning that she had racists and bigots in her party before this broke so why would you expect someone else to do it?
I suspect that people, including the media, made a big deal out of Hunsperger and Leech while essentially leaving Morton alone for 2 main reasons:
1) The comments, while indicating a similarity in the core belief structure of the individuals involved, are not of the same magnitude in terms of hatred expressed.
2) People know who Morton is. He has ran for the leadership of the party and I know that issue was brought up then. People won't necessarily know who Leech and Hunsperger are, I know I didn't before this blew up. By its very nature, the media will focus on things that are new and sensational. You don't often see news reports that say: "Nothing to see here, everything is the same today as yesterday" because that isn't news.
