One nullifies the masses, and the other only twelve or less. But when the politicians attempt to buy votes with public funds, it is not a criminal offence, at least not according to the news media. News media has, rightfully or wrongfully, accused the Liberal party of attempting to buy votes, but failed to mention which way it is different from bribery. The media's double standard has came out very clear again. When crimes are committed by the politicians, judges, and lawyers, they are not crimes in the eye of the journalists.
News media is soft on crimes when committed by black robes or white collars.
As it stands now, the accountibilities of the news media and polling outfits are non-existent. Our societies came to know about Donald Marshall, who spent best periods of his life behind bars for a crime he did not commit, and the injustice caused to him by our justice and legal system. It did not stop there. Now we are going through another whitewash, the inqueries about the wrongfull conviction of Guy Paul Morin. There are too many miscarriages of justice.
