i don't think millions of people in canada are doing crack. Marijuana is a different kettle of fish. You will never see medicinal crack dispensaries or the same support to legalize it.

why would i contact the press if i did? They'd never report on it. That's my point, though, the red flags are their but the media is avoiding it because they're (especially the cbc) want harper to lose and for some reason think that jt's the man who will defeat him.

you aren't going to contact the press because you don't have any evidence. You have a fantasy that somehow justin must be as bad as ford because he admitted smoking pot.
If you did have evidence and it were true and the press didn't report it, then that would be a bigger story than the drug use.

Do you seriously believe that all of the media out there is conspiring against harper. The same accusations about the press were thrown around about ford. That somehow ford was the victim in all this.
Well how did that turn out? Right, the press were right all along.

Also, it's 2014. If anyone had real evidence about trudeau do you think no one would post it. You can't keep things like that quiet.

People like you are grasping at straws, trying anything to discredit trudeau. You guys look foolish as the recent ads by the cons have proven. No one is buying it.

Ya see what you did here? He wasn't talking about media bias, he was talking about your view that somehow all media has conspired together to discredit Harper. Big difference, than simple media bias.

You never said the word, but you said this

"Why would I contact the press if I did? They'd never report on it. That's my point, though, the red flags are their but the media is avoiding it because they're (especially the CBC) want Harper to lose and for some reason think that JT's the man who will defeat him."


Which is saying that the media is somehow conspiring together.

I think you need to look up what the word "conspiracy" means.

Go back to post #28 and you'll see that the second quotation can also be attributed to me.

Whatever the case, media bias is the end result of a number influences rather than a product of direct collusion. Hence, it's not a suggestion of "conspiracy" to states that the media will not hold Justin to the same standards.

I think it's very difficult to point to any media that is NOT biased in today's world. News reports are usually obliged to report facts from both sides, but they are certainly under no obligation to remain impartial, as editorial boards have full freedom to voice their own views. Nothing strange about that.

Definition: Urban Dictionary: conspiracy

"an association of more than one person working together towards a shared goal" a la Doug and Rob.
