Keep nailing the ...Grant, I am with you my brother. Keep nailing the Lieberals on this issue. Because it is a "Public Interest" issue that the MSM seems to ignore. It has legs.<br /><br />One more thing I want to comment on. Your specific comment in the comment thread --- <br /><br />******************************<br />Global BC news Jan 5th/2015 at 6:00 pm (yesterday)..<br /><br />Global B.C. did a little segment/promotion of John Horgan on the 6:00 pm news hour..<br /><br />The segment was about 90 seconds long..<br /><br />Global aired the segment at 6:58 pm..<br /><br />The very last segment before the news hour ended, after sports, after fluff n puff, after talking about nothing, the very last segment before the news hour ended...While everyone was looking at the channel guide to see what comes on 7:00 pm...Global BC aired the John Horgan piece at (6:58 1/2 minutes P.M.)...<br /><br />There, Global B.C. can now say they gave the opposition NDP some air-time too..<br />********************************<br /><br />What is even more galling is on that night everyone (at least I know) was watching Canada win the gold medal at the World Junior Hockey Championship on another channel.<br /><br />They were NOT watching the news. Neither was I. Deliberate timing? <br /><br />So after reading your post I went online and watched the last portion of the Globall news of that night. I was literally appalled. It was like they were making a spoof and mocking the NDP leader. Making him look like some irrelevant fringe party leader.<br /><br />They said Horgan "was herding cats". Then they looked at the dolls in his office. At the end they said something like nobody pays attention to Horgan and the NDP anymore. WTF?<br /><br />Again I was appalled. I left the NDP after the 2013 election and have joined the Greens. That is my new home. But I still respect the NDP. At least to some extent. But Globall News wants to turn them into a laughing stock.
