I'm so sorry. I did not realize you two had more to say on this subject. I will summerize so you can continue the discussion.
Terrytowel posted about a CBC article about a Liberal husband quitting his jobs to support his wife's career because TT thought it was good to see that happening.
A handful of people accused Terrytowel of posting it to pump the Liberals because this is such a good place to do that. They think Terrytowel (and I) are lying about not being Liberals which they are compelled to discuss in every thread.
I think Terrytowel is honest and did it for the reasons he stated.
I don't think the Liberals are guilty of anything concerning this particular issue. As far as I can tell only the CBC made a story out of it and they didn't praise Rob Silver for it.
quizzical said this:
i think they use this place to learn if something flies as good propaganda or not. and if they wanna push it anyway they're learning how to reword their presentation.
I think the Liberals use focus groups and this thread is nothing more than an impulse of Terrytowel's and that he didn't have any ulterior motives. I do not believe that he is an agent of the Liberal Party sent to test propaganda.
I believe the argument is that the title of the thread is lauditory and the Liberals don't deserve to be lauded on this. I agree that they don't deserve to be lauded but I also think it shows a good example so it isn't that farfetched that Terrytowel would see it simply as something positive to share.
I thought the consensus was that the act wasn't a big deal and it didn't deserve a thread and the topic had been exhausted. I realize I was mistaken.
Apparently you were right quizzical because AC also has more to say on the topic. So by all means you two, have at it.
But I must confess I will mischievously try to claim post 200 even if I don't have anything pertainent to add so you only have 94 more posts to exhaust the topic.

Certainly the "Liberal/Not Liberal" lens is a popular one.
But I think that what makes this thread so dismissable isn't that. It's that it's roughly equivalent to "Local Man Misses a Few Minutes of Televised Sports to Make His Own Sandwich".
It's only "good" because the opposite would be worse. *Golf clap*

Pondering self identified as a Liberal in a thread she resurrected in reactions.
So Pondering is a Liberal depending on how convenient that label is. She insists on holding everyone else to account for her being all over the road on identification while consistently cheerleading for both the party and leader.
Some may want to point out her self identification from that thread while others may be satisfied to simply point to the record of her substantial and often obnoxious advocacy for that party here. A good many like the if it walks like a duck argument.
Pondering, for her part, hates the NDP and attacks them at every opportunity, Opposes the Conservatives, Cheerleads for the Liberal Leader but is not a proud enough Liberal to call herself one.
So be it. We can move on -- each of us knowing what she calls herself and what we see her to be.

From my perspective it went off topic the moment people started questioning Terrytowel's motives for posting rather than just dealing with the substance of it.
The substance is this is nothing to laud the Liberals about for the many reasons already stated and it is not a particularly significant example of a husband putting his wife's career first so there is nothing to talk about.
This is post 109 of not talking about it.

well i kinda wonder why he even made a press release? what's so important about it?
do 6 figure income people always do so when they resign and move along?
or does it have a motive?
maybe people were crossly jumping on TT by proxie. because there was no reason for a press conference announcement and it only irritated as what is the purpose for it then?

In fairness, not every press release must result in a thread here. The choice of which ones to elevate is telling. I think that was the point. And then his posts were praising this as some kind of social progress -- you cannot deny that those were things TT argued.

my question is why would Katie's husband give a press release in the first place?
1. he was using the media for a job search
2. it was a 'aren't we or i wonderful' propaganda ploy
3. both
4. none of the above

Actually #1 probably worked if he did not have a job anyway. I imagine his phone did ring. And if you needed a job and a press release would work why not.
The issue was why is this release important news for this place? And of course we had the debate that followed. TT seems to have dropped this so I don't know why we would continue.

I don't think he made a press release. It was the email he sent out. People at that level do make a general announcement to contacts and friends. The CBC seems to be the only outlet that picked up on it.

Bah! Everyone of my posts has been on target Pondering. This thread is nothing more than more Liberal cheerleading. Its premise as Sean stated, look what leaders the Liberals are on woman's issues. My reply back was that it was a self coongratulatory, non news worthy, piece of propaganda. The issue is whether this is a valid topic to discuss on a blog about politics. The annoucment was certainly politicall and TT was trying to spin it. That means its open to debate. You may NOT like the rest of us calling a spade a spade, but so what? Who cares? This thread is nonnsense and we're calling out it for what it i. If you don't want to be challenged, then don't post, Pondering. Stop whining for once, if that's possible to do and deal with it. Did you whine like this when you were a kid and your mother told you to clean your room?

Actually Pondering what you don't get is that you keep getting attention by inserting yourself loudly between the real reason people come to babble and the threads you participate in. You say this often -- this is part of the problem with your participation here -- you won't accept that there is a responsibility here for you as well as the people baited into annoyance by you.
Let me tell you that this was a thriving place before you came and would be if you left. So stop pretending that people who are angry with you only come here to battle you -- they don't.
If you did think about this you might find that you could participate with really irritating people.

Reporters listen to conversations. A little remembered fact is we would probably not know anything about the Duffy affair if he had not bragged about not having paid the 90K himself in a bar and been overheard by a reporter.
There is no evidence the Liberals ever did make a big deal about Silver quitting his positions due to potential conflict of interest. It's not unusual to announce it if that even happened. It's along the same lines as announcing the MP that is going to alcohol rehab.

need a link plz on the Duffy thing. seems nonsensical as how did the reporter even know what the 90k was about?

by his sending out a publically received email he was, as a public face of the Liberals, making a big deal out of it for whatever reason. i noted a few above.

This is completely beside the point -- who cares.
The complaint -- the real one -- was not that the guy sent out a release or not but that it had to be brought here and a thread opened about it becuase we need to see EVERY little bit of news that might make the Liberals party look good. The thread proliferation on compeltely unimportant stuff designed just to promote Liberals was the complaint. I don't care how TT heard about it -- he got the feedback that it opening a whole thread for this non-story was an issue. We have now filled the thread with something more important: the fact that Liberal cheerleaders pollute this space with any possible pro-Liberal news no matter how completely irrelevant or non-newsworthy that content is.

It seems to me the first topic has been fully exhausted.
The second is nothing more than ranting. This is a Canadian Politics forum and the Liberals are in power. There are many negative things said about them too. In both cases sometimes important and sometimes not so much.
For example it has been recently posted that the Liberals are open to comment on making changes to C-51. I don't think this is out of the goodness of their hearts.
I do think the Liberals will listen and will make changes based on input that they might have been considering anyway. I think they will do this because it is good PR.
Someone else thinks it's a sham and that they are just delaying and won't do anything in the end.
You consider what I am saying "cheerleading". I consider it a realistic assessment of the future of C-51.
The way some people here demonize the Liberals they are helping Trudeau in the same manner as that Conservative did when he said Trudeau would be doing well if he arrived at the debate with his pants on.
Better to criticize him after the fact on whatever specifics he fell short on. Otherwise it just comes across as empty baseless criticism.
You have been highly critical of the "middle class" tax cut and while I don't get all the details I catch your drift on it and agree with you that it is regressive and that a higher personal exemption is what would help the middle class and poor. I don't think it will do the Liberals any harm because most people won't be interested in the details. Unlike you I don't fault Mulcair for supporting it because opposing it would lead to headlines "Mulcair against middle-class tax cuts" and people would not care about the why. It would not turn into an opportunity to educate people on progressive taxation.

I'm of two minds of this.
1) If there is a thread you don't like or not interested in or feel is pro-Liberal you don't have to respond or participate in it. You can ignore it and let others discuss the topic. Obviously the mods don't have a problem with this thread. MegB has been here, offered her two cents and has let this thread remain open. If she felt this thread is inappropriate, then she would have shut it down.
2) But on the other hand we need to be sensitive to the feelings of others on this board. This is a palce for people to escape what some have perceived as a Liberal friendly news media. They want a place where they don't have to be confronted with every pro-Liberal news item 24/7. Babble should be the place where they don't have to read everything Liberals all the time.
I guess each poster needs to weigh the pros and cons about each item we are posting. Think if it is a topic that really needs to be discussed and anylzed.
I do see people points that this item isn't earth shattering for discussion on Babble and to get to page five!

I'm so sorry. I did not realize you two had more to say on this subject. I will summerize so you can continue the discussion.
Terrytowel posted about a CBC article about a Liberal husband quitting his jobs to support his wife's career because TT thought it was good to see that happening.
A handful of people accused Terrytowel of posting it to pump the Liberals because this is such a good place to do that. They think Terrytowel (and I) are lying about not being Liberals which they are compelled to discuss in every thread.
I think Terrytowel is honest and did it for the reasons he stated.
Pondering thanks for your kinds words. Much appreciated. Both you, Debater and Unionist have come out in defence of me and I apprecaite it very much.
I was going to quit this place but Pondering and Unionist convinced me not to. Plus I post some of the most provocative threads. Look at this one! We are on page five!

I'll give you Libs one thing, you can take anything and make it political, post it and LPC cheer lead, and then whine when you're called on it. You're not fooling anyone. I'm of one mind on this, your thread is just another Justin Trudeau cheer lead! BRAVO!

First of all I think people need to stop the straw man arguments.
If you say a thread is useless this is not an attempt to have a moderator shut it down.
When you respond to a thread criticizing the the value of a post -- that is a response and it is just as legitimate as anything else.
People can post what they like but any post is open to criticism inlcuding a question of the motives.
We have every right to go intot a thread and say this is boosterism if that is our opinion. And that opinion is as valid as the original post.
Also the quality of the OP and valule for discussion is not related to the number of replies it gets -- especially if many of those replies are a debate about the value of the OP.

I surrender. I acknowledge the importance of bashing, I mean dissecting, I mean discussing, the motives of posters you disagree with.
Number of replies is a measure of interest in the thread even if it is in negative reaction to the OP. I'm participating because I think it's funny, almost like a parody, so the thread is a success for me.
