How To Win Friends And Influence Your Favourite Media Uncles, Part Deux.

The good Mr. Zussman, of the 'News' called Global, who contributed to the original Twitter thread/media trawl that helped hook his Corus Entertainment, Inc. stablemate, Mr. Smyth of CKNW, had only this to say about who may have 'invented' the oh-so clever game:

...ICBC’s monopoly has no shortage of critics, including the BC Liberal Party, the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, the Insurance Bureau of Canada and the Trial Lawyers’ Association.

No one has stepped forward to claim they created the game and there is no branding on the board or in the rule books...


Of course, no mention is made by Mr. Zussman of the easily accessible evidence regarding those who have flashed the 'Monopoly' game card in an attempt to hook the Lotuslandian ProMedia in the past, as we documented yesterday....Here.

Gosh.

Is it any wonder that the usual suspects.....errrr...trawlers play these media types for saps?

A real reporter would put a direct question to a rep from each of the four organizations named as critics regarding their role in creating and/or distributing the game, and include the answers in the article.

Just to deflect the notion said reporter is a willing patsy.

You talkin' bout strat-o-matic football, perchance?

Of course they would.

They might also tell their readers/viewers/listeners who proffered the item to said reporter(s).

But, then again, if they were to do the latter it might give off a whiff of their willing shillophancy.
