Conservative convention #4 - media coverage

Some semi-surprising angles:
  • Bourque sticks with mostly negative coverage about the party's surprising debt, the Stronach MacKay thing, etc.
  • Canada.com leads with Harper going on the attack, with other stories including the MacKay saga
  • National Post leads with the divisions within the party, with a second story about Harper on the attack
  • CBC (motto: we're publically funded but you can't tell. seriously.) leads off with Conservative support for traditional marriage (is that even news?)
  • Canoe news leads with Harper on offense, with stories about tackling controversial issues, Mulroney, and the divisions
  • The globe and mail (motto: we're smarter than you) has coverage of this morning's votes on marriage and abortion, but their national page covers the "fissures" within the party
  • The Toronto star (surprise) leads with the "rift"within the party and that's it.
