Kerry Says

So our fearless leader has decided that he needs to add some of this managerial magic to the press room. According to an article from the Globe and Mail:

“The prime minister does not want to hold press conferences unless his staff choose which journalists ask questions from a list they compile. "

The Ottawa press gallery has refused to play by those rules. So the gallery isn’t asking questions and the prime minister is dealing only with local media outlets which he deems less hostile.

But don’t let this decision fool you into thinking that this decision will effect the provision of hard hitting news stories about the government. Just today this crucial piece of news made headlines on Sympatico.msn.ca:

Tories reject recommendation to impose surtaxes on bike and barbecue imports

"On behalf of all retailers across Canada who sell bicycles and barbecues this is a huge victory for their customers and their businesses," Diane Brisebois, president and CEO of the industry association, said in a release.”

Now THAT’S what I call news… at least these days.

Sigh….
