[fvc-wat-disc] Media Watch: CBC Radio One, 8:30am news 10 August 2007

[Bob Jonkman]

The CBC had another item on the Radio One 8:30am news - Dwight Duncan has 
come out against MMP, saying that the 39 list members are not representing 
any constituency, that government policy will be decided after an election 
by a coalition of minority parties (as opposed to policies being publicized 
before an election), and that a minority government is undesirable.

Interestingly, the reporter indicated that Duncan's view is outnumbered by 
other ministers who are in favour of MMP, but these ministers were not 
interviewed, and so a pro-MMP argument was not aired.

(are these items useful to people on the list?  Should I restrain myself to 
Media Watching only for the local papers?)
