Not Partisan At All...

This article by Jeff Davis shows just how gullible, how lazy, and how easily manipulated the mainstream media is. It unbelievable:

Saskatchewan Tory MP Garry Breitkreuz found himself in hot water Thursday after an Ottawa mother complained he told a Grade 10 class that everyone in Canada should be armed — especially girls.

Dianna Sakisheway wrote a scathing letter to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews this week. Her complaint stems from a speech Breitkreuz — known as the father of the legislation to repeal the long-gun registry — gave during a career day at Canterbury High School on March 7.

"I am outraged at the irresponsible conduct of the federal government in promoting gun violence to schoolchildren," she wrote. "You have gone much too far."

....

Sakisheway told Postmedia News that she is "just a mother" and has no political associations.

.... In her letter, Sakisheway says Breitkreuz clearly told the students that "it should be much easier for Canadians to attain and own a firearm because it is their duty and their right to engage in gun violence."

So let's just check a few things. First, Dianna Sakisheway is non-partisan? Uh huh...

From her Twitter feed:

Jack Layton:Tommy Douglas our 1st leader said Dream no little dreams. They said yes 2 a Cda where anything is possible. No 1 is left behind.

or

Cdn Boat “Tahrir” will sail 2 help end Israel’s illegal siege of

But even if you are a moron and can't type a name into Google don't you think a real reporter with even an ounce of common sense would question if Gary Breitkreuz would actually say
"it is their duty and their right to engage in gun violence."? Really? Would he call self-defence "gun violence" or is that the interpretation of a political activist? It would make me stop and think before I wrote an article based solely on her word that she is non-partisan and her account of what was said.

Truly another sad day in Canadian journalism.
