    So how is this avoidance, he is holding a press conference and is making copies of the report available to all MPs, this is a BS at best, and another example of playing "gotcha" at worst!

    Gimme a break. This happens all the time when the PM makes a speech when the House is in session. I guess they can find little else to criticize him about?

    Journalist: Prime Minister, are you trying to avoid the media by being in Saint John instead of Ottawa?

    PM Harper: You are a reporter from the media, are you not?

    This is clearly a dodge to avoid people talking about this:

    Bias on the part of the media is nothing new, actually, they seem to take joy in it.
