      7. If you are Muslim-Canadian, you can reasonably conclude the publisher of the Globe & its editorial board see your rights as secondary,

      8. The distinction between Harper & the party makes no sense. Harper is the head of party & famously a control freak. Party supports this.

      9. To be sure there are fissures in Conservative party but those are on tax issues (income splitting) not on demonizing Muslims.

      10. Is there any evidence at all of serious opposition to demonizing Muslims in CPC? Enough to force successful PM to quit? Really?

      11. Bigger picture: Harper demonizes a minority group & gets endorsement of most Canadian newspapers. What does that say about our media?

      13. Beyond that key issue, editorial was just incoherent as hell.

      13 Globe position in nutshell: "Differences between parties on economics trivial, Harper demonizes vote for Harper & party will change" WTF?

      14. Editorial endorsements the Conservative are receiving (Globe, Postmedia, Sun) can't be divorced from economics & sociology of media

      15. In 2011, Harper's Conservatives got endorsement of 90% of Canadian newspapers. Figures this time will probably be not much lower.

      16. Obvious reason is newspapers are owned by rich people who like Conservative policies. "Freedom of press belongs to those who own one"

          17. But beyond economics of press ownership, their is sociology of editorial staff.

          @HeerJeet Liebling also hoped TV would be democratizing force & break newspaper proprietors' stranglehold on U.S. politics.

          @HeerJeet Although he did worry TV would backfire as soon as you had a deserving candidate who did not perform well in front of the cameras.
