‘Viewer-inspired’ CBC poll works Tories into a lather

[CHIMO]

There are more accusations of Grit bias at the CBC by the Conservatives today after the network presented a poll the Tories allege was inspired by a Liberal Party candidate.

Adding to the Tory outrage is that the survey was conducted by their least favourite pollster, Frank Graves. The EKOS president stands accused of being a big-time Liberal, partly because he has donated money to the party in the past and as a result his comments advising Michael Ignatieff’s team to mount a culture war against Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.

Mr. Graves has denied ever working for the Liberals and a complaint launched by the Conservatives against his part-time employment with the public broadcaster was dismissed. Anti-CBC campaigns, however, play well with the Tory base; the party can raise lots of money by attacking the network.

The poll in question was presented last night on CBC’s Power & Politics show by Mr. Graves and dealt with women in politics, what issues they prefer and what Canadians think of women leaders. It prompted a set of talking points sent to Tory supporters and MPs earlier today under the headline: “Neutrality – CBC/Frank Graves Style.”

So who is going to find out who contributes to the Conservatives?

When they find out, then how do we find out?

I am getting so fed up with the Cons taking over the topics.

We should all learn how to support our parties like the Cons do. Otherwise we will continue down the same roads.

And when you support them, make known what you want them to do if they want further support.
