		<description>In Ontario, everybody knows that TorStar is a Liberal rag. It is the mouthpiece of the liberal party, where it gives the liberal party writers opportunities for &quot;opinion pieces.&quot; 

I only remember once where the paper endorse a provincial NDP govt - the day before the election. The prov libs must have sucked badly.

Anyway, I have smiled this past week, as I heard the lib bloggers talk about how the the media was treating the liberal campaign and particularly their leader. They &quot;voiced&quot; outrage about this injustice. Stated that the MSM was giving the Harper crew and leader a &quot;free ride.&quot; Chuckle.

Welcome to the day-to-day world of the New Democrats. It is no surprise that our New Democrat MPs are so hardworking, intelligent, committed MPs. They had to really work their butts off to get elected, in spite of the daily bias of the MSM, and/or NO MEDIA AT ALL. They most had to run more than once if not three times to get elected. There had to be a great riding association, willing to work their butts off during the campaign, and most often before, to get their gal or guy elected. 
No easy street for these fine folks.

Meanwhile, on easy street Liberal brand, that candidate (in the past), just had to stick a Liberal button on their lapel, open an office with no workers (facade of something happening inside), but tons of bucks, and Mr./Ms./Mrs. easy street liberal got the prize on election day. 

To spare me the bucket of liberal tears. I just can&#039;t really get into it with you. You know feel your pain.

Thanks for letting me say what I have been thinking the last couple of days as I listened - it seemed endless - to the &quot;end times are near&quot; sob stories.</description>

		<description>The idea that the media is biased against the NDP is not a silly one. I saw it myself back when I was on the executive of the PEI NDP. Even worse is a small local paper here in Toronto going on and on about Dion and his &quot;Liberal Government&quot;

The media likes close two-way races. That means viewers and ad money. If they cant get that, then they try to convince you that minority/majority is critically important, and you must watch to see which one they&#039;ll get. Majority governments are boring for news departments.</description>
