I have yet to see anything here worthy of "hatred", sorry...and if anger, hatred, vitriol and bitterness are what you really see in my posts, get some glasses. :)<br /><br /><br /> <i> To choose to pick a fight over a photo you don't like, & to be vitriolic about such a small thing makes you look petty as well.</i><br /><br /><br /> This is not the first time I've noticed KNB doing this, nor is it the first time I've pointed it out. "Petty" applies to the person searching for the worst possible picture of an opponent to post, not to the person pointing out that fact. <br /><br /><br /><i> I think the pic is a good one & compliments Teneycke. Artistic expression is in the eye of the beholder & we all have different tastes.</i><br /><br /><br /> Not to mention different political agendas. You see a good picture, do you? I see one meant to evoke fear and mistrust.<br /><br /><br /> <i> To try & belittle & denigrate KNB over a photo is small-minded.

I'd love to see serious debate in this country, about serious issues and that is a shot at all parties.

Needs no comment from me.<br /><br /><br /> <i> Good grief.

So why haven't you posted any pictures of Liberals looking like that, then?<br /><br /> <i> Oh, and as I've told you before, I have never photo shopped a pic.</i><br /><br /><br /> And as I have responded before, I never said that you did the actual PhotoShopping, just that you sought out the worst possible pictures of all Conservatives.

I fear that the reaction to a far right news network is the movement of other news networks to the edges of the political spectrum, in whatever direction they choose to go. The result is, as you put it, a perpetual black-and-white view of the news, with no appreciation of nuance or intelligent debate. That is, I'm afraid that your predicted mode of operation for SunTV News will propagate to the news sector in general, with the ultimate effect of there being NO politically centre news sources that strive for objectivity.philosoraptorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16713430387698527652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-66856293618432614282010-06-15T22:45:30.577-04:002010-06-15T22:45:30.577-04:00It makes me wonder what in the devil Harper was do...It makes me wonder what in the devil Harper was doing last year talking to Rupert Murdoch and another man who had to do with Fox.<br /> I am beginning to think that this is more of Harper controlling... as if it isn't bad enough now.!!<br />I have had enough, but do not know what to do about it.A Eliz.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11088834823455226692noreply@blogger.com
