Danny Williams and the CBC affair

Progressive Conservative Premier of Newfoundland, Danny Williams, has been running an 'anything but conservative' campaign is his province against the federal conservatives during the 2008 election. Danny Williams has been routinely featured on CBC television, radio, and web pages.
Usually the CBC does not like conservatives, unless they can find one that will go after other conservatives. The amount of media attention given to Premier Danny Williams was incredible. No other premier in Canada got the same level attention.

There have been reports that the ABC campaign against the federal conservative candidates in NL has included threats of financial retribution if individuals are seen supporting conservative candidates. The CBC has given no attention to this Africa style election intimidation but a huge amount of attention to the ABC rhetoric Williams propagates.
