Ottawa Sun columnist Greg Weston, who was on Mike Duffy Live when Mr. Duffy received the message, said if the Conservatives want to call Mr. Rodriguez, they should also call "every single Conservative MP who sat in opposition" because they did the same thing. "This is a daily thing," Mr. Weston said. "This is the most trumped up, ridiculous pandering to the Conservative core who believe that the CBC is part of the enemy and now it´s been proven we´re part of the enemy too. Well, as you always know, if there are two lists, I want to be on the black one."
Very good, Mr. Weston. Perhaps 2008 may be the year that the media realizes it's not supposed to be so cozy with the inner circle of our nation's government.
For the sake of clarity though, there is a significant difference between shilling questions for the opposition to use in the service of partisan animation and colluding with a state sponosored reporter to significantly alter the course and purview of the Mulroney/Schreiber Inquiry. That's the main event, people.
Frankly, if Krista Erickson was lambasted for her part in the real contraversy, she was either justifiably punished or unfairly rebuked and that we can't seem to get that straightened out, Mr. Pablo Rodriguez, the Liberal Party and the CBC still have some explaining to do.
