Someone should tell Elizabteh May to shut up: Christina Blizzard

The Sun's Christina Blizzard writes: "Where once her frankness was refreshing, her latest book, Losing Confidence: Power, Politics and the Crisis in Canadian Democracy, (McClelland &Stewart; $16.95) is really nothing more than a bitter rant at everyone.

"If it's not a conspiracy by the Conservative government she's decrying, then it's a conspiracy by media monopoly that's to blame for her inability to gain a seat in the House of Commons. . .

"May seems to have a love-hate relationship with journalists.

"On the one hand, we're all slaves to our corporate overlords. On the other, she credits the media with getting her a seat at the table for last year's federal televised leaders' debate.

"(Tell me there isn't a reporter in the country who doesn't regret going to the wall for her. Having whined her way on to the debate, she attempted to hijack it and became, frankly, a nuisance.) "
