MSM Were Prepared To Cut Harper Some Slack On Patronage Senate Appointments But Blogosphere Forces The Issue!

Stephen Harper announced his new Cabinet, left Rideau Hall and quietly slipped away while his administration announced the appointment of the 'Three Conservative Losers' to the Senate. Hours went by and the MSM gave full coverage to the cabinet changes but hardly a mention of the sleazy Senate patronage appointments.

But that wasn't sitting well in the blogosphere and blogger after blogger started to point out Harper's sneaky move.

Eventually the MSM had no choice but to up the story profile somewhat.

Good work bloggers!
