It looks like Stephen Harper’s threat against Canada’s media is already paying dividends. When G&M writer Bill Curry wrote this puff piece yesterday, strategically placed in the Globe to soften Lisa Raitt’s image and project one of a ‘for the people’ light, the paper gave up any pretence of legitimacy. But it’s the photograph by Moe Doiron that really sinks the grey lady.
You can’t get much more obvious than this. It’s kittens and ice cream journalism at its worse. Keep the name of Bill Curry in mind. He might just be the next useful idiot for the conservative Globe editors and the Conservative party. I think you’ll be hearing a lot more from him. Stephen Harper is relying on it.
