British Hypocrisy

Remember the Brits were on our case about "Own the Podium?" Well now they're gonna copy the "Own the Podium" plan. They hope emulate it for the Summer Olympics in London 2012.

Britain is officially eating crow just a month after its sportswriters' unrestrained trashing of the Vancouver Games and Canada's controversial Own the Podium program for Olympic athletes.

The head of UK Sport - the funding body for elite British athletes and a key player in preparing for the 2012 Summer Games in London - says his country will emulate Own the Podium in a bid to match Canada's record-setting, host-nation performance at Vancouver.

"At first a lot of people were critical of Canada's Own the Podium program, saying that it wasn't very sporting, and it had some bad press," UK Sport chief executive John Steele told a media briefing last week as Britain unveiled its medal projections for the 2012 Games. National Post

So now after trashing us, they see it was a success. and want to do it too. Go figure!

With all that said, I really do wish them well.

Distortions of the Liberals and Their Media

We all know the majority of Lame stream media torques and skewers the stories and accusations that the Liberals make about the Conservatives. It has of late become over the top and some, I feel has crossed the line. They too quickly jump on the bandwagon about any thing that would embarrass the government and blow it way out of proportion.

The faux scandals and personal smears have become unacceptable. Sure the government and goverment members do some bonehead things sometimes but put it in proportion to the big scheme of things, please.

Canada Free Press tells it like it is.

Disgraceful Liberals lie and distort

It doesn’t matter whether it is the CBC stable of talking heads, the Toronto Star or its subsidiaries and their editorialists or the many journalists so familiar to us all that it makes one sick when they appear on virtually every panel or newscast.. These talking know-it-all types dominate the mass Lib-left “news” across Canada. Their ratio of anti-Harper and anti-Conservative rhetoric is 20 to 1 against. It is a disgusting fact of Canada’s unbalanced and distorted mass media. Since when have this incestuous cabal of the left acquired their self-centered egoistic assumption that they alone and their associates have the sole right to interpret the “news” and manipulate the public regardless of the damage they do to Canada’s societal, legal and political health.

The Canadian media set-up is such that we are so dominated with obfuscations and distortions that our country is horribly sick as a result. How can a society of predominately young people, fixated on music, clothes, personal appearance, twitters and Facebook, I-pods and fixed to the ear cell-phones ever hope to be other than manipulated.

Our Lame stream media and the Liberals should hang their heads in shame! What a disgrace!
