Uh, no.

Scary when political journos don't have their facts straight. Here's one cited in a Sunday Star compilation of opinions on an NDP/Liberal merger:

Kady O’Malley, CBC, on Twitter: “Seriously, when the two most high-profile advocates of a Liberal/NDP merger are Denis Coderre and Pat Martin, well . . . that’s that.”

Actually, Jean Chretien is a bigger booster of a merger than either of the folks mentioned by O'Malley, and a rather high-profile advocate after winning three consecutive majorities. Bob Rae also mused about merger from May 2 until becoming interim leader, at which point such musings (at least publicly) were inappropriate for someone in that post.

I love Kady - but I caught her in a similar boo boo a couple of days ago - which she did not acknowledge.
She was in dialogue with the Twitter account of the Ontario Liberal party. They made reference to the release of their platform - on a website that was available to "all Ontarians" who would "like" Dalton McGuinty on Facebook.
She extrapolated that into "Members and supporters" - even though she - as Queen of most things electronic in communications - knows full well that Like on Facebook is simply a means of registering interest!
Pity! Because generally she is a stickler for the facts!
