Rick Bell’s Personal Fatwa
December 1, 2006 · By Aaron Unruh
The Calgary Sun’s snivelling metrosexual has now completed a hat-trick of columns sliming Ted Morton. One and two. In the third, The Dinger indulges in some of the editorial self-pity that has come to characterize the Ottawa press corps:
Snortin’ Morton did offer a few indications of his style, slamming one reporter’s question on the same-sex marriage debate as “goofy” and reflective of a Paul Martin-Jean Chretien attack.
…
On another occasion Snortin’ Morton challenged a newshound to say sorry when a one-line clarification from Ted would have done just fine. This is not the first time I’ve seen Morton lecture the press but no doubt his disciples cheer along since the media is part of some godless Lib-left cabal.
I’m getting tired of this. If Bell, who typically writes in one sentence paragraphs, wants to run his own personal fatwa against Ted Morton, fine. But should the Calgary Sun really be providing a forum for this silliness?
[...] Aaron brings up Rick Bells obvious bias against Ted Morton, but anyone who actually heard the question asked by the Global journalist Mia Sosiak will agree it was more than goofy, it was downright pathetic: Mia Sosiak: [...]
You heard how hysterical Bell got at the Roundup Centre in public. Would you want to be the Sun editor telling him to cut it out? If Bell yelled threat at one simple question last Saturday, he’d probably stump and cry outright. Who wants to deal with drama queens like that at work? The Sun has relinquished editorial responsibility.
I think you might have missed one.
The media - the Sun included - has done a pretty extensive hatchet job on Ted Morton for most of the week; the overwhelming number of articles have been very negative about him, and how “scary” he is.
In fact, I think only Licia Corbella is the only one at the Sun that has any semblance of sanity or balance when it comes to Ted’s campaign.
