The CBC is balanced by the National Post and their newspapers, in my opinion.

Really Zip? The National Post is owned by the Liberal stalwarts, the Aspers. In case you haven't read it for a while, its hardly a CPC supporter these days.

The Sun is the paper that first linked the conservatives with the robocalls stuff. It's the paper one that's been going after that staffer who resigned, even tho the record shows that he did not access the voters list. So if he was involved, at least one other conservative functionary in Guelph was too - one of the 15 people who did access that list. This poor guy is being hung out to dry by his own people.

Since the National Post is too far left for Brock, I don't understand how the tightie righties get their story out at all.

I don't think so Andy but I could be wrong. I remember the exact day the story broke on the CBC. The big story for most other organizations was the Jessie Sansone story. The only organization that didn’t cover that story was the CBC because they were leading with the robocall scandal. I don't think the Sun even picked up the Robocall scandal until a few days later. Michael Sona didn’t resign until a day or two after the story broke if my memory serves me right.

I don't read the Sun. But McLeans, run by the former editor of the NP (under Conrad, when it was a fair and balanced paper) has told me it is the Sun who is pushing the idea that Sona must be the guilty one, based on unnamed conservative sources. AFAIK, it's the investigation by the National Post that broke this story - and are you seriously saying the media is biased because they broke this story? The charge against the CBC is reporting that 30,000 complaints have been lodged. Well that certainly didn't happen til the story had some legs, and again, you're saying they shouldn't report this?

Face it. There was certainly some shit that happened in Guelph. All indicators are it's the conservatives, and more than just one bad apple, and if Harper doesn't manage to shut down the investigation, that will come out in the fullness of time. And for the other ridings, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some fire behind the smoke there too. Since elections Canada moves so slowly, it will be a long time before we hear anything concrete. Which is what happened with the in and out scandal.

I don't watch the CBC either, so can't comment on just how much lefty propaganda they spewed. Mostly I get my info from the Globe and Mail and the Vancouver Sun. Sure there's been some speculation in it that the conservatives are behind this. Speculation that seems merited to me. I think the conservatives are in defensive mode here - if this was a Liberal scandal they'd be cheering on the media, and the media would be doing exactly what it's doing now.

And are you saying the CBC or other media outright stated this went to the highest reaches of the CPC, or that they supressed that the Libs made robocalls too or that they didn't do analysis of possible impact on election results?

Can you give me a link where the CBC said 31,000 were robbed of their vote and that Harper orchestrated it. (Maybe a lot to ask, but I'm skeptical here.)

I think, dino, that you read into this what you want to see. I have not seen a single report on CBC that does not emphasise that there is no evidence anywhere yet. And that the 31,000 is just complaints received without any attribution.
