"Interesting and Effective Protest" - Rosemary Barton

I haven't been closely following this breaking story on "flash climate protests" that seems to be "breaking" every 15 minutes on Newsworld. I just finished watching Rosemary Barton describe today's events as mobilizing people around the issue of climate change, and then she said "it was an interesting and effective protest". That sounds like a little "op-ed" to me. Bad Rosemary, bad.

Just out of curiosity, are the people behind these new "interesting and effective" flash protests the same people who just descended on those "tactical ridings" as we were warned about in the National Post?

Anyway, I really have to leave for the Golf Course! Let's all dig a little deeper into who these people are.

  1. The new Politics show on the CBC pretty much dedicated itself to the protest. In fact, maybe it was arranged in concert with the new CBC launch? In any event, they had the "protesters" on and one of them featured a bloody face which he said was done by the guards when they took him down. He seemed surprised. Haven't these people ever watched COPS?

  2. Both the all-"news?" (read propaganda)channels had reporters out to interview whichever moonbat happened to alight in front of their cameras. (A moonbat is attracted to a camera like a vulture to roadkill.) One of the mentally challenged members of this cadre mentioned how they expected "thousands" of protesters to turn up on Parliament Hill.
    Now, far be it from me, to heap scorn and ridicule on someone who is obviously deranged, but from the pictures I saw I would conclude that a larger crowd is attracted to the local seniors goat ropin' than was present at this protest.
    My opinion about the low turnout has been corroborated by the fact that the MSM is strangely silent today on the turnout, even though they probably press-ganged every homeless person they could to fill out their shots. Does anyone have any figures on how few people turned out?

  3. Somebody should tell the flash protesters that we're in the midst of a cooling trend.

    What dolts!
