Lawrence Martin's Media Delusions

Glib and Mewl opiner Lawrence Martin claims, outrageously and entirely sans foundation, that
The Conservative advantage in the media is staggering. Beyond the Toronto Star, which is more Liberal than NDP, do the New Democrats have even one backer, one standard bearer, among major Canadian outlets? By contrast, the Conservatives have squadrons, not the least of which is Sun Media, which now has a television network (run by one of Mr. Harper’s former public-relations directors) devoted to the conservative cause.
No, Larry, what's "staggering" is how off base you are. First, because the Toronto Star adores Wanker Jack and endorsed him for prime minister.

Second, there's our national public broadcaster Ceeb, whose group-thinkers despise the Tories and never, ever give them a break.

Third, while Sun Media, and its newest member Sun News TV, may lean to the right, that doesn't mean it will withold criticism of the Tories when warranted.

Three strikes, yer out, Larry.
