Gotta love when reporters show their bias...

On CTV.ca yesterday:

Harper challenges Ignatieff to one-on-one debate
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/s ... ection2011

Then today, CTV's Robert Fife Tweets:

Quote:

"Tory campaign insiders say Harper won't take up Ignatieff challenge of separate one on one TV debate"

According to the Globe and Mail:

Quote:

However, the Conservatives proposed to prolong the all-leaders’ debate to include a separate face-off between Mr. Harper and Mr. Ignatieff, while the Liberals proposed to participate in the traditional debates, and a distinct one-on-one confrontation.

A senior Conservative official said on Wednesday night that despite the public challenges issued by the two parties leaders, the one-on-one idea was unworkable.

Robert Fife and in particular Craig Oliver have never been overly accommodating to Harper or the Conservatives. Heck you can just see the distain dripping from Oliver every time he talks about them. Mind you he seems to have mellowed out a bit in the last few years.
