LOL I know…now everyone’s going to be going…what we were supposed to get paid??? Hilarious. I saw Jason’s email and definitely there was no money offer. We all spend time blogging anyways so making video is just another way to do what we do…all the time…everyday. Sometimes a change is good and plus I have noticed everyone has different skills. Some are better with video and pic manipulatons and humour and others are more serious. A place for everyone to do what they do.

Bob Fife is an asshole.

I have already posted about this at http://stoppingharper.blogspot.com/2007/04/bob-fife-on-blog-ads.html and stated “where is the background information gathering?” I would hope that Mr. Fife has actual proof of payment before creating such slander.

A sad day in journalism.

Bob Fife’s statements appeared to be off the cuff and irresponsibly made. Decent journalists report the facts and know the bounds of what they can say and what they shouldn’t. Fife has become an opinion guy moreso than a journalist but he’s passed off as a journalist. CTV should pick one for this guy and make him stick to it.

I thought journalists did their homework.

Why I’m I not surprised that you are surprised?

Well, you know, those journalists have a Code of Ethics. They’re important people, which is why some of them get to keep the gates on Parliament Hill.

It’d be pretty funny if their careers came to the same sort of screeching halts experienced by other professionals who make errors. Mind you, I’d enjoy the peace and quiet that would result if journalists dared not utter or print anything as “fact” which they reasonably could know to be false or just garbage from the spin machine of one political party or corporation or another.

Paid? ok.

I bought a flying purple pony with my Liberal Cashola.

Pffffft. I watched the clip, and I have a couple things to say:
Im Far past 20. In fact, middle age is fast approaching.

Crappy videos? All the “unprofessional” vids are better in quality than the conserve ones.
Speaking for myself, everything I have made so far has been self taught, and on some archaic PC equipment.

If Bob Fife sees this? Its costing me money. And if it at all helps get the Conserves out of power? Worth every frickin penny.

And Bob? At least I do research FIRST.

what a frickin idiot. i think we should demand a retraction. my sis is a journalist, just starting out, and she said some of the better-known journalists say that “if they mess up, at least they will have a career in radio”. that said, he is a pundit, not a journalist. nevertheless, asking that our national news media report facts instead of partisan spin should not seem too onerous a responsibility.

You guys all need to chill out. You all leveled the same accuations against us, saying the Blogging Tories were a paid arm of the CPC, when infact, we are just like you… unpaid people, who are doing everything we can to keep your guys OUT OF POWER.

Careful with that there brush…

“You all leveled the same accuations against us, saying the Blogging Tories were a paid arm of the CPC”

Unless you are an american Republican AD firm, the CPC wont hire you anyway.
