Is it really all that surprising?

Considering the media and the Opposition slammed Helena Guergis over criminal culpability until the Conservatives had no choice but to expel her only to have the same hypocrites come back and criticize the government for doing exactly what they wanted, is it really all that surprising that we are now finding out that the famous "meltdown" which started this whole fiasco is now being shown to have no legs?

The two-faced nature of Canadian politics -- both from the NDP/Liberal/Bloc coalition and the media -- is ridiculously out of control. And the media just pretends it isn't involved half the time in stirring up the storms of controversy just to watch them go.

I find it hard to believe that after all this time that security footage is only now being brought to light. At best this reeks of lazy journalism while at worst it is gotcha journalism to the extreme. I miss the day that reporters actually researched rather than just throwing out opinion pieces, rumors and innuendo.
