Harper says he's finished with Ottawa press corps

[ThsMchneKilsFascists]

Harper is taking his cue from little lord pissy pants, Harper's wet dream come true, shrub* the lesser of two evils.


Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he'll no longer give news conferences for the national media, after a dispute led a number of journalists to walk away from an event when he refused to take their questions.

"unfortunately the press gallery has taken the view they are going to be the opposition to the government."

"They don't ask questions at my press conferences now. We'll just take the message out on the road. There's lots of media who do want to ask questions and hear what the government is doing."

Since becoming prime minister in January, Harper has had a testy relationship with the national media in Ottawa. His staff has tried to manage news conferences by saying they will decide which reporters get to ask questions.

2. Awwwww, I guess he is going to have to work harder at getting

both his message out and crucial "face time". Poor widdle baby. What an arrogant, immature POS.

3. That's what Joseph Goebbels said the other night on PBS

on deciding " which reporters get to ask questions."

Do reporters have a "liberal bias?" Honest intelligent realistic analysis always has a liberal bias.
