September guest and story review

The launch of Season 3 of TGCTS on 92.9 Kick-FM was highlighted with our unique analysis of stories that kept listeners tuning in and calling, such as:

- The refusal of NDP government ministers to grant interviews to "lesser media", and the delivery of a direct invitation to Premier Doer

- The Green Party rife with anti-Israel candidates

- Why didn't the Winnipeg media show video of their "meeting" with police Chief Keith McCaskill?

- The near-abandonment of covering the Provincial Legislature by undermanned newsrooms

- The pre-election spin of MSM trying to influence what the public should consider issues

- Phil Walding, Son of Pawley-government kaibosher Jim Walding, approached to run in Elmwood by-election to succeed Jim Maloway

- Rookie councillors given run-around by city bureaucrats

- NDP MLA says Cheez Whiz suitable replacement for fresh milk in north

- Winnipeg Free Press edited out comments by Mayor Katz about anti-Semitic attacks

- Transit, traffic and the failing Park and Ride system

- The ramping up of violent attacks on city streets

- The capture of fugitive Danny Wolfe, the history of the Indian Posse and the sympathetic coverage of CBC-TV

- CBC refusing to mention the race of aboriginal suspects sought by police

- The life and times of the late CFL legend, Ron Lancaster

- Winnipeg Free Press (and other media) attacking 'conflict of interest' at city hall without admitting their own conflict of interest, i.e. coverage of the Crocus Fund and Spirited Energy campaign

- Exclusive news about the proposed locations for police security cameras that would exclude neighborhoods most in need, and the mayor's vow to scrutinize the list

- The death of an emergency room patient in Health Sciences Centre after 34 hours in the waiting room, and the claims of Health Minister Theresa Oswald that she was being unfairly held accountable

and

The chronology of Lesley Hughes' ouster as a Liberal candidate, her links to anti-Semitic 9-11 conspiracy promoters, the infiltration of political parties by those marginal characters, and how most of the mainstream media - the National Post excepted - refused to credit the blogs that broke and advanced the story.
