Nothing like a good dose of defeatism to usher in the new year.

Today we have Dan Leger writing a column that begins with the line: “DON’T LIKE Stephen Harper? Too bad for you. Like him or not, 2010 is the year he’s likely to cement his hold on power with a majority government.”

Nothing like a good dose of journalistic fatalism and defeatism to usher in the new year, as we are all being told by Dan Leger that we are to dutifully capitulate to Harper like a bunch of mindless drones, whether we like Harper or not, now that Canada is but a shadow of its former democratic self.

What utter drivel and nonsense that I categorically dismiss for the brain-washing propaganda that it is.

Brain washing and propaganda is what Canadian journalists do best. Just look at the number they did on Harper’s behalf on the utter lie called tax leakage, that every journalist in the land (except Diane Francis( was to gutless to expose as the patent lie that it is.

Also, nothing like a good dose of journalistic fatalism and defeatism to usher in fascism. My wife’s great grandfather on the other hand was the owner and publisher of a major daily paper in Berlin in the 30’s and 40’s as well as being the head of an industry organization of a very large number of regional newspapers throughout Germany. He was a major force of opposition to Hitler during this period. His name was Baron J.K. Zweck Von Zweckenburg, They wrote books about him after the war. One was entitled The Press in Chains that devoted an entire chapter to his dogged opposition of Herr Hitler.

I don’t suppose they will be writing any books about Dan Leger any time soon. Nobody buys books about sycophants in the media. They just appoint them to the Senate like Mike Duffy.

DON’T LIKE Stephen Harper? Too bad for you. Like him or not, 2010 is the year he’s likely to cement his hold on power with a majority government.

Does it even matter whether Harper is loved, loathed or feared? Probably not, blah, blah, blah, Dan Leger brainwashing exercise in thought control continued here.
