Here are the media endorsements of political parties in 2011:
- Conservatives: 31
- NDP: 2
- Bloc: 1
- Liberals: 0
- Greens: 0
But the facts and reality have little to do with today's journalism, especially in Canada. The Conservatives have been propped up by a journalistic body that is rotting from corruption and lassitude. And it will do anything to blame anyone or anything other than themselves or the Conservatives.
Yet the media and Conservative bloggers keep harping on Canada's 'liberal media', as if that fools anyone. Judging from the NDP surge, Canadians are not buying it. They just are not paying attention anymore. We've had enough of slanted Conservative bullshit from our newspapers and televisions.

You took the words right out of my mouth. This is a dark period indeed for Canadian journalism. The title is probably a little misleading for the less-engaged folks out there.
Thanks, Offroad. I clarified the title and added a little at the beginning to make it less misleading.
Whether on agreed or disagreed, a majority of Canadians opposed the Charlottetown Accord referendum even though the vast majority of media outlets supported the Accord.
