NDPaffiliated I added a fact tag to the fourtimesreinserted modifier NDPaffiliated to the mention of Bill Tieleman other journalists are not generally singled out by party affiliationloyalty nor are publishers such as CanWest which is widely seen as a propaganda arm of the BC Liberal Party also one of the partys major financial contributors  Its not that Tieleman isnt an NDPer but his credentials go beyond his NDP politicking and he is increasingly a critic of that party also  Im responding partly also to this edit by  which accuses me of having a political agendaas if BCLib didnt themselves and as if I were an NDP supporter which Im decidedly not  eg httpswwwbloggercomcommentgblogIDpostID in my posts on Tielemans blog yesterday  Im an experienced Wikipedian and fully aware of Wiki principles like WPCOI and WPNPOV and fair treatment of WPRS and WPVS unlike BCLib who shows no apparent regard for these particularly WPCOI but also WPRR theres been four times that NDPaffiliated has been readded after either myself or  took it out BCLib is a SPA  Ive puzzled long and hard over my own realworld COI on BC political articles but I see no reason to recuse myself from participation in BC political articles though generally I give them as wide a berth as possible but when I recognize POV political activitywording as a responsible Wikipedian I cant not say something about it or challenge the POVism  and COIspin edits  when I see them  My interest here is to prevent Wikipedia from being used as part of any campaign pr machine of any party and to make sure Wikipedia principles are observed  particularly by party operatives who have no reason to respect Wikipedia guidelines or concepts like WPNPOV  In the case of this item about BC Rail theres lots missing including the search of the ClarkMarrissen home during the opening of the investigation and that curious telephone call thelling them the police were coming and why no warrant was neededvs all the other highly suspectirregular warrants to do with that case  But theres also lots of other commentators particularly from smalltown papers or independently syndicated but also notable bloggersindepednent reserachers like Sean Holman Laila Yuile and BC Mary who have similarly spoken out about Clarks involvement in the BC Rail matter and how it weights against her in the eyes of the public and of the informed media  She may have been out of teh way for the HST fracas and the Big Media have pronounced her clean of that  but he Big Media also have maintained a veil of silence over BC Rail  The current text says that she resigned for family reasons but its wellcitable  that the timing of her resignation was seen to have to do with the BC Rail affair  And about the Tieleman thing unless every time Conservativeaffiliated columnists or BC Liberalaffiliated columnists and media outlets are similarly tagged in articles mentioning their opninions and claims often false its not fair to single out Tieleman for this thats the reason for the cite tag Tielemans own byline says only Bill Tieleman is one of BCs best known communicators political commentators and strategists Bill writes a politics column Tuesdays in  Hours newspaper and The Tyee online magazine Bill has been Communications Director in the BC Premiers Office and at the BC Federation of Labour Bill owns West Star Communications a consulting firm providing strategy and communication services for labour business nonprofits and government  And frankly seeing whats going on with the NDP and teh things the Party CouncilJames supporter types have been calling him he may not be NDPaffiliated much longer
