Punch One....Norm Farrell's latest on PR-based proMedia 'journalism':
In the preceding article, I made reference to BC Legislative Press Gallery members producing commissioned articles. These are public relations pieces intended to serve particular needs of government or entities doing business with government. It is the kind of output that will ultimately be replaced by automated journalism. Mike Smyth’s recent Province column (on BC Hydro and IPPish-type stuff) provides an example...
Punch Two...Rafe Mair's response:
It’s damned near impossible to be civil! Read more of Farrell, read Erik Andersen, read Marc Eliasen, read the figures starting in 2002 when the Campbell/Clark wrecking crew took over – it’s not complicated and the numbers easy to comprehend.

BC Liberals claim financial contributions to politicians do not purchase "special relationships" with governments. Evidence shows the opposite. (The first bill of Alberta's new NDP government banned corporate and union donations to political parties.)
You won't find much discussion of these issues among the old hands in the Legislative Press Gallery. They are too busy with corporate and Liberal PR.
