when Charles Adler stops campaigning for the Democrats on his radio program. I have no problem with campaigning for anyone he wants. It is his show. But since Canadians cannot vote in the US election the subject is hardly "on the edge of all the matters" to a Canadian audience. Actually, scratch that, it is no where near the edge of what matters to me. So until the election is over I won't be tuning in as much as I used to. Because if I wanted to listen to rants by Keith Olbermann (KEITH OLBERMANN for crying out loud) I would watch his program. Because I don't...I don't. Like I said, wake me up when it is over. Until then the Fan 590.
Update: Apparently Kate McMillan noticed the same thing.

Unfortunately Adler’s show has been turned into a series of commentators mostly from corus owned properties in a dog and pony show. His local show was much better but had run out of gas.

And people accuse me of being a “cut and paste” artist. At least I have a sizable American audience…

So, I guess the Sun chain and CanWest’s conservative tilt, the prominence of Wente, Ibbitson, and Coyne are meaningless in the face of the mighty commie MSM? The day they put Rick Salutin on the At Issue panel every week and leave out Coyne (and simultaneously cancel Rex Murphy’s bully pulpit) is the day I start to believe in an NDP dominated MSM.

Oh, and the reason Jack is on tv so much is because we have a minority parliament and so he is a player. Also, the man knows how to play the media game.

When did I say anything about the NDP? When did I say anything about a commie MSM onslaught? I said I didn’t want to listen to Canadians radio show play an American commenter’s rant for 20 minutes about an election we can’t vote in.

You didn’t Greg, but the article you linked to on SDA had lots to say about the commie MSM giving Jack to much face time.

Sorry, too much face time.

I thought you were agreeing with SDA’s central point (ie that the communists control our media). My bad.
