The more I come to understand politics the more I see the media bias.  Cons push for many initiatives and are debased by the media at every turn and then media continually harass until the Cons fail.  Liberals knowing that the Cons would do it anyway, go out and implement most of the same programs, and they get this soft blessing from the media.  The funny thing is that the Liberals are generally happy with this scenario.  I guess anything for power is the moto.
