Where Has Mainstream Media Been During Several Scandals?

And WHY have they not investigated?

White knights and whistleblowers have a short shelf life in Canada. The real question that should be asked is where was Canadian MSM while the government's friends were plundering the Sponsorship program?

Why haven't Canadians heard much about the UN oil for food scam? Some of the major players are friends with the Liberals. Instead of worrying about bloggers they should be worrying why their press has been neutered.

Captain Bob who leaked Jean Brault's testimony to the Gomery Inquiry, Captain's Quarters, October 06, 2005 -- trackback

Captain Bob mentions Kate MacMillan, Stephen Janke, Neale News -- and another:

John at Newsbeat1 has already built a following doing the kind of reporting that Agrell wants, and he does so with some risk, if readers pay attention to the nature of his prolific links.[. . . . ]

The comments below Cap'n Bob's article add a little to our knowledge of why the MSM journalists do not investigate as they should.
