Looks like W's not the only one having to deal with a hostile press. Canadian PM Stephen Harper has basically told the Ottawa press corps to fuck off after dealing with non-stop bitchiness since taking office. If you want to root around in the Tory parts of the Canadian blogosphere you could probably find still more examples dating back to the Preston Manning/Reform Party days, but it just goes to show that this nonsense about an "objective" press isn't just an American problem, or an Australian one for that matter as you can see on a regular basis at Tim Blair's blog.
