A couple of questions for discussion in the wake of a weekend where the NDP has received no lack of headlines, but has also had to deal with the media reading an entirely consistent message as reflecting two radical changes in position.
First, is there any hope of actually having the nuances in a party's position accurately portrayed in media coverage, or are we forever resigned to headlines that reflect the most extreme possible spin on a given day's statements or omissions?
And second, is it nonetheless a net plus for the NDP to get this weekend's level of attention even when it reflects repeated distortions of the party's position?
