Voter turn out in Iran was 65%… Spirit of Man says that people refused to participate in a “sham election” - in Alberta the turn out was around 42%, are they saying the same thing?

Sunday Open Trackbacks & Comments (The “Elections Edition”)
The Harsh Reality Is —
– that the top reporters in this country [the United States of America] read the blogs.

on rumours about candidates
during presidential elections]
Things To Make Ya Scratch Yer Head
John Bowman over at the CBC’s Blog Watch seems to think that blogs are not moderated or censored - I think he needs to watch a bit better, maybe he should even watch his own blog.
Blogs and Journalism, from the Shmohawk
When the medium achieves some maturity it will be because those who present good ideas, expressed well, with civility and a measure of respect for the views of others, outshine and outdraw the crap that others profess as their right.
Ezra’s New Fundraiser Crusade
In which we politely test Ezra Levant’s commitment to “Freedom of Expression” with some questions about the funding, management, membership and governance of his new “Union of Bloggers”.
Meanwhile, For Those Concerned About REAL Free Speech
While Ezra postures and pirouettes in the warm glow of his self-generated auto-da-fé, another story is quietly unfolding - one which will have REAL impact on the quantify and quality of information Canadians will be receiving over the next few years.
This Is No Longer What It Is
The wordsmiths at Lake Superior State University are giving back to English speakers everywhere with their 33rd annual List of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness.

Hockey/Media Rant
I was just watching the City-TV 6:00 PM news. The leading story is a “shocking video” about “nine-year old kids mimicking their Junior and NHL idols” [to paraphrase]. The issue that is so important that it needs first story coverage? Well, it seems a “line brawl” broke out between two teams in a recent Atom […]
Why We Don’t Trust Governments #2684785^10
– or the media in general for that matter.
How balbulican saved the Western Standard
When Ezra Levant, aged and fabulously wealthy press magnate, retires to his chateau in Monte Carlo at the age of ninety eight, I hope he remembers who really saved his ass.
Death of a Rag
Bad writing, bad editing and hilarious pretensions notwithstanding, I always got a kick of out The Western Standard’s cheerfully inept, vulgar imitation of what grown-ups call “journalism”.
CBC’s Shameful Right Wing Bias
In which an incredulous eyebrow is cocked at assertions that CBC is somehow a “leftist” broadcaster.
Don’t Drink the Water in Waterloo
We’re not sure whether it’s the water, mysterious zombification rays from space, or too many years of Elizabeth Witmer, but if you value your wits, don’t linger too long in Kitchener-Waterloo. And DON’T READ THE PAPER.
On Sources and Bloggers
Bloggers love to adopt the trappings of journalism when they’re trying to convince or proselytize - businesslike layouts, ostentatious use of quotes and references, pyramid story structures. Everything, in fact, except for the core values of journalism - balance and accuracy.
