[...] This story from CTV has to be one of the most ironic I’ve seen yet.The Prime Minister’s Office has no plans to build a government-controlled briefing room, which would supplant the current National Press Theatre.A news report on Monday said a plan, with an estimated cost of $2 million, has been in the works since at least last year.The Privy Council Office and the PMO have been working on the “special project for the PM, otherwise reffered (sic) as the Shoe Store Project,” said the documents obtained by the Toronto Star under the Access to Information Act.The Toronto Star’s Tonda MacCharles, who first reported the story said she requested the documents about a year ago and received them late Thursday night.”There was nothing in there that indicated that the project was not going to go ahead and … today the Prime Minister’s Office is saying they’re not pursuing it,” MacCharles told CTV Newsnet’s Mike Duffy Live.I urge you to read the comments section that CTV’s website has on this article. They’re still looking for commenters, but if you put anything of any truth there to set people straight, they’re not likely to post it. I’ve tried. I’ve given up. Same thing at the Globe & Mail. Could it be that the media has become what the mental midgets commenting on this article claim that Stephen Harper has become? Could it be that the media is taking a fascist position and filling our minds with liberal propaganda?Nah.But as Little Johnny once said, “I like the way you’re thinking”.Another point of view here, here, here and here.

Congrats, I think the national press gallery just jumped the shark…

Wild speculation in an attempt to embarrass the PM and the PMO – its laughable…

Documents obtained by the Toronto Star under the Access to Information Act reveal that government planning for a “special project for the PM, otherwise reffered (sic) as the Shoe Store Project” has been underway since at least last year.

Wow, damning evidence…

Read some of the comments in this CTV story, and you’ll see there are plenty of CDNs who are too gullible to think for themselves.

I see that conservative toady’s are flooding this board with messages about what a splendid idea to control information, and this is the “media’s own fault”

Everyone else sees this for the putinesque gambit that it is.

What’s next? Arresting opposition leaders?
