The mainstream media did a pretty good job of covering the story(ies). A couple of examples are below.
Peter Mansbridge and three guests. I don't think this story is going away in a few days, as Mansbridge suggests, any more than #occupy #arabspring #idlenomore #tarsandsblockade have gone away. This has engaged the mainstream media like no other story in recent memory, and the seething masses online are not going to let this fade (not to mention angry insiders).
I believe this year will bring our democratic deficiencies to a head for good or bad, and set us on a road to a more fully democratic state than we have had before, or we will head toward a much more authoritarian future than Canadians ever believed possible.
But we need to heed Mansbridge's warning and make sure this fire burns.
Rex Murphy is passionate, amusing and makes forceful points. He makes me think, I hope there is some bigger crime being covered up which would make this make sense, and not the tawdry penny ante sleaze it appears to be.
Duffy: The story that never stops giving.

"Sen. Mike Duffy attempted to influence the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission’s upcoming decision involving the right-leaning Sun News Network, a source has told CTV News.
A well-placed source told CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife that Duffy approached a Conservative insider with connections to the CRTC three weeks ago to discuss Sun Media, which is asking the federal regulator to grant its news channel “mandatory carriage,” or guaranteed placement on basic cable and satellite packages."
If you listen on through a couple of ads, you will finally hear the word "fraud" uttered.
