Jonathan Kay has just published a story on National Post’s Full Comment about how CBC irresponsibly latched onto the Sarah Palin rumour circulating in the lefty blogosphere about Trig being her grandson instead of her own son. – The CBC’s appalling smear on Sarah Palin.
Not only that, but they put the story out after the rumour was proven to be incorrect:
…This is more than just a tiny factual slip-up. This was a marquee segment on the CBC’s crown jewel — The National — delivered by the network’s Washington correspondent at a major political event. How is it that McDonald would base his whole story on a political hoax that thousands of humble Web surfers like my friend had debunked a full two days earlier?
Your precious tax dollars hard at work.
Or as Ezra would say, "Fire. Them. All."

Update : Via Freedom is my Nationality – Meghan McCain’s blog.
Good discussion going on at Jack’s Newswatch.
Friday Update: Please check out this response from CBC’s Jeff Keay.

OMG.
The Green Party’s Jim Harris is on CTV right now announcing legal action for Lizzy to join the Leaders’ debate.
They’re making it a woman against all the men issue. (As well as having their floor-crossing MP on board, of course.)
Harris sites this editorial by Chantel Hebert as evidence that the Tories and NDP ‘fear’ Elizabeth May.
Developing.
CNews Update.
O.K. Here we have the CTV link. Check this out:
…Harris also noted that as the only female party leader, May has an additional right to be included in the debates …
What????

More CTV newsnet discussions – Scott Brison is on CTV just now (noon) saying Premier Rodney MacDonald is lying to Nova Scotians regarding the Green Shift. I hope the interview ends up on Newsnet.
(Note: Comments were accidentally turned off until now. )

2:30 pm Update: The other half of the Red Green Show is on CTV Newsnet right now. Dion is speaking to his ‘enthralled’ caucus. Oh, this is cute – ‘Tory times are tough times.’ Better tell that to Dalton McGuinty. He must have changed parties.
Oh boy, now he’s invoking Bush and Harris. What a broken record.
Now he’s saying that Canadians need a government guided by ‘science and facts’. I wonder what Robert Thibault would say about that?
This is painful. I can’t take anymore. You’re on your own, folks.
