"The media".  Which media?   Harper was unanimously endorsed by ALL major media for every election.

SunTV was set up.   They loved Harper and all things CPC.   They folded for lack of viewers.    The NP, the SUN, they all loved Harper.

On top of this, Harper spent billions on propaganda and tax funded ads.    Prime time, telling Canadians what a great job he was doing.

In short, quit whining about Harper being a "victim".   It's embarrassing and pathetic for a so called leader to always be presented as a "victim".
