The Ignatieff negative ads have been out for about a week now. Has anyone noticed how little response there has been from the media? The ads seem to have gone largely unnoticed.
When the Conservatives ran their fist ads against Stéphane Dion, it was a much bigger media event. In a matter of days, the ads cought on and journalists started inserting into their stories the idea that Stéphane Dion was weak (an idea they hadn't previously thought of).
The contrast is worth noting. Maybe the one true statement that the Conservatives have come up with about Michael Ignatieff is that the media have "given him a free ride". Or maybe the media simply chose make Dion crash.
