What I am proud of is the fact that our media has done this at all. The American media should hang its collective head in shame.
For the Ottawa press corps to collectively say that they will not cover the PM unless this stops is a good thing. Remember, this all of the media, not just the so called "left".
As for defending Harper... what he is doing is indefensible. One of the cornerstones of our Constitution speaks about "good governence". This means that our government must be accountable for their actions. It is the whole purpose of Question Period. To my mind, access for the press is also part of this.
Why would we want to encourage spin? Why would we want *any* PM to be able to duck the difficult questions?
