This is one of the most detailed documentaries of media bias to date. For months the Opposition and the media attacked the Prime Minister for holding a hard line on our commitment to Afghanistan. Suddenly, at the end of the spring parliamentary session, they completely reversed themselves and instead attacked him for seeking a consensus in Parliament so that the troops wouldn’t feel “undercut” here at home.
They told Canadians that Stephen Harper is a “waffler” and he is about to “cut and run” from the Afghanistan commitment. Unfortunately for them, Mr. Harper was on record at least a dozen times since May 2006 stating that extensions to the Afghan mission would be put to a vote. When the media ignores the obvious to make the Prime Minister into a villain, that is the definition of media bias. Read the full story here.
