Ontario election: believe it, don’t believe it
Yesterday’s Ontario Newswatch report comes in for some particularly categorical, on-the-record condemnation from the Ontario NDP, here.
Two things: one, what else would you expect him to say? (viz., “Yes, it’s true, we are going to vote against the budget that hasn’t been tabled yet.”) Two, Bisson better hope he never runs into Sue Kelly in a dark alley one night. Accusing a veteran scribe of being a liar, as Bisson does, is something that should never be done lightly.
.
yup ..should have just denied it without taking reporter to wood shed … or maybe he didnt get memo yet?
Where is it said that the reporter made up the report? Why shoot the messenger? I would think the accusations are pointed at the reporter’s source. And such is the ruthless state of modern day politics, that I do not rule out the idea that it maybe have been a trial balloon by the NDP.
As we tweeted out as soon as the NDP put out their reply, ONW stands completely behind our story despite Gilles Bisson’s statement.
Good for you, Sue. We believe you, not him.
