Paulus Martinius AdScamus, UN & Whistleblowers, Toews: Protect Canada's Waterways, Islam & Tolerance, Sample: Media Bias, CBC & PM

Paulus Martinius AdScamus, successor to Jeanus Chretienius AdScamus.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF A PLACE CALLED CANADA, BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION OF HURRICANE GOMERY Lorrie Goldstein, Oct. 2, 05 -- via Being An American in T.O. and Newsbeat1

[. . . . ] While most records were destroyed following Hurricane Gomery, which struck Canada's capital in the late fall of 2005, here's what we've been able to piece together from the partial records that have been recovered in the 2,000 years that have passed since then.

[. . . . ] In any event, it appears that at this time, Canada was ruled by Paulus Martinius AdScamus, a minor political figure about whom not much is really known, save that he came to power after years of plotting against his predecessor, Jeanus Chretienius AdScamus. But despite promising the people great changes from Chretienius AdScamus' reign, the historical record shows little in the way of actual accomplishment by Martinius AdScamus.

Vic Toews: Liberals Fail to Protect Canada's Waterways

STEINBACH - Provencher MP Vic Toews is calling on Liberal Cabinet Minister Reg Alcock to explain why his government has failed to protect Canada's waterways relative to the Devil's Lake project. According to recent media reports, the Devil's Lake outlet in North Dakota has been closed only weeks after opening due to increased sulfate content, despite Alcock's previous assertions that his government had solved this contentious environmental issue.

[. . . . ] Toews observed that many Manitobans worry that pollution and parasites from Devil's Lake could enter Lake Winnipeg and do irreparable harm to the environment and specifically the commercial fishing industry based on Lake Winnipeg. "These fears are well-grounded. Owing to the pollutants present in the Devil's Lake water, even the State of North Dakota does not allow that water to be used for the irrigation of farmland," said Toews.

"The Conservative Party has been calling for the institution of proper safeguards to prevent our waterways' pollution since the outlet's inception, yet despite Minister Alcock's assurances our worse fears have been confirmed," concluded Toews.

Tolerance -- not exactly a strong value in the Muslim world

Moderate Muslims 'ridiculing the Koran' Oct. 6, 05

TORONTO -- A controversial Islamic leader has accused moderate Muslims who campaigned against Shariah law in Ontario of "smearing Islam, ridiculing the Koran [and) badmouthing Muhammad," allegations some believe are tantamount to a death sentence [. . . . ]

Excellent Photographic Example of Media Bias with Text Explication

Anatomy of a Photograph via How the liberal media lie Ted Belman 19:52:57 2005/10/01

An analysis of a single seemingly innocuous photograph, and the pervasive media bias it reveals.

My photo essay of the anti-war protest in San Francisco on September 24, 2005 was not the only report done about the event. A few other outlets ran their own coverage. But the one photo from the rally that was seen by the most people was this:


Why? Because the San Francisco Chronicle, which had the only mainstream media coverage of the rally, published this photograph on the front page of its Web site as a teaser for their article about the event.

Now, let's take a closer look at this image. [. . . . ]

Islam is not a religion of peace -- "Through the above revelation, Allah has made it compulsory for the Muslim leaders to fight the non-Muslims until they acknowledge Islam and to agree to pay higher taxes with willing submission (to Islam) and feel themselves subdued (dhimmitude is the other name of subduedness)."



Liberal bias? It's not just the CBC -- "According to a recent study by two Ryerson University journalism professors:" Posted by By LORRIE GOLDSTEN on 11:46:18 2005/10/03 -- In Reply to: How the liberal media lie posted by Ted Belman

[. . . . ]These findings are contained in "The Canadian News Directors Study", an informative survey of the political leanings and demographics of TV news directors, conducted by Marsha Barber and Ann Rauhala. The results were published in the May 2005 issue of the Canadian Journal of Communication. [. . . . ]

Last month, [Peter Kent, federal Conservative candidate in the Toronto riding of St Paul's.] alleged most Canadian journalists are small "L" liberals and that as a result, Conservatives face the constant hurdle of "getting past the filter of liberal media apologists", particularly in the all-important Toronto market.

Kent has since written to Canada's journalism schools, which he also considers hotbeds of liberal bias, challenging them to study this issue in the next election. [. . . . ]

Worth reading.




Paul Martin and his team could not be expected to go into an election without their trusty mouthpiece, the CBC, could it?

CBC: Now is a Good Time to Consider -- Maybe CBC isn't worth its cost, MP Bev Oda says -- Tory heritage critic calls for review of public broadcaster's value to taxpayersn -- "MPs should launch a debate on the CBC's future" Bill Curry, Sept. 8, 05

I wonder if the typical CBC employee read what people thought of CBC and its biases while they were on strike? Did the managers? Maybe it is time for that now.
