As soon as I heard that the journalistic anal catheter that is Ezra Levant's Rebel News had been accredited for last night's debate, I was sorely tempted to make the following prediction: That whoever got to ask the question, it would involve bitching and whining about how mean Justin is to Rebel News regarding accreditation. In other words, the question from Rebel News would be (pursuant to Ezra's spectacular narcissism) about Rebel News.
(SORT OF) PREDICTION: Given that one of the worthless colostomy bags from Ezra Levant's Rebel News will undoubtedly get another chance to ask a question after the next debate, let me make a humble suggestion -- as soon as it's clear that it will be more bitching and whining about accreditation, the party leader should just cut off the question with something like, "We're not here to talk about you again; if you have a question about the actual election, feel free to ask it."
A SUGGESTION TO PARTY LEADERS: I do appreciate that PM Trudeau pushed back on Rebel News being a "media outlet," preferring to describe it as simply an "organization." I think all party leaders should go one step further and describe it as one guy's "vanity blog." And who could disagree?

I think it would awesome if one of the female Rebel hacks asked a question and was dismissed as "Journo Barbie", the same way Rebel News mocked Catherine McKenna as "Climate Barbie." I would pay to see one of the party leaders do that.
It's pretty funny how the cardinal rule for journalists is, "Never make the story about you," when that's ALL Rebel News ever does. Christ, they fundraised, like, $100,000 and sued and won, and after all that, given the chance to ask a question, that idiot asks, "Why don't you like me?" And then got pasted by Trudeau for her trouble.
I'm sure that was $100,000 well spent.
No, it's more accurate to say it's $100,000 well grifted.
