Past loyalties to the Tory party don’t mean as much as delivering Stephen Harper from the Valley of Fear – aka the Coalition.
The Guardian says “Well-known political journalist Mike Duffy was named to P.E.I.’s vacant Senate seat in the single largest volley of Senate appointments in Canadian political history Monday.”
By sandbagging Stephane Dion in the ATV/CTV Halifax interview, Duffy worked to undermine the Liberal leader, force his ouster and weaken the coalition. Showing outtakes was dirty journalism and Duffy knew it.
It again shows the danger of massive corporate ownership of the media – ATV/CTV is part of the CTVGlobemedia controlled by Bell Enterprises. They are not working for the little guy. The loyalties are to big business and conservative government.

Say what? How did Mike Duffy sandbag “… Stéphane Dion in the ATV/CTV Halifax interview?”
Did I miss something? Has Steve Murphy of ATV/CTV Halifax morphed into Mike Duffy of CTV Ottawa?

Thanks for your comment Russ.
I believe the comment was not referring to the original interview out-takes but Duffy’s re-broadcast rate.
