Exactly.   EVERY govt of every political stripe gets scrutiny.    That's why we learned about Adscam with the Liberals, Sarkar yesterday.    In the States, that's how people learned about Lewinsky and Clinton.   And they forget how complicit the press was in allowing Bush to invade Iraq on bogus WMD's.

But all the new right do is whine whenever there is a critical word spoken of them.    In Canada, they even invented a fictitious syndrome so that they could dismiss any and ALL criticism of Harper:   "HDS".       It's beyond tiring, but I think whining about the press is a part of their DNA.
