( http://www.cbc.ca/video/news/audioplayer.html?clipid=2164119754 )<br />This would be impossible today. No one would have the courage those two showed. Beryl Fox's documentary <b>The Mills of the Gods</b> would <i>never</i> be shown on a TV station in this country. And could you even conceive of Stephen Harper in the Hot Seat? <br />We are mewling slugs, taking what pap is fed to us. Even the internet is without guts in this country.<br />Our federal government consists of a bunch of bigoted, fat, self satisfied goons - this should be the world's best fodder for mockery and satire but the best we get is Rick Mercer's rant and Rick, while insightful and funny, has no cruelty in him. We need cruelty and viciousness to hold these pusillanimous prats to light. <br />Sun TeeVee and all who ship aboard her have no courage. If they had, they would throw their masks aside and show us the true face of conservatism - bigoted, writhing with hatred and self-righteousness. Pierre-Karl will end up bereft of printing presses, TV licenses and journals because he is only arrogant, not smart and arrogant like daddy. Good riddance. <br />As for Mark? The Sun's loss is Bourrie's gain and I'm sure he knows that.Scannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03514966528672897658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-18450876129173916102011-11-05T11:04:14.461-04:002011-11-05T11:04:14.461-04:00ridenhard...still trolling after all these years.ridenhard...still trolling after all these years.double nickelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02067401914703468252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-82035703937617734802011-11-04T21:19:56.932-04:002011-11-04T21:19:56.932-04:00Never heard of the guy.Never heard of the guy.ridenrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238308195535796308noreply@blogger.com
