Our website…way ahead of the MSM

The Globe and Mail is carrying this story on the timing of the Canadian leaders’ debate coinciding with the American vice-presidential debate.

This is very old news to readers of the Campaign Perspectives 2008 blog, who were informed of this conflict/coincidence on Tuesday.

I think we also scooped the MSM on May’s inclusion in the debate earlier this week. We were about 6 minutes ahead of CP, I think. This is important.

Paul Adams is a former political reporter with the CBC and the Globe and Mail, now a member of Carleton’s journalism faculty and executive director of EKOS Research Associates.
