Holy Hypocrisy Batman

So I was flipping through the View Magazine on Saturday and came across an article about the Green Party not being allowed into the debate (it went to print before the decision got reversed). Now, what really happened was that Harper, Layton and Duceppe were against including May in the debate, with both Harper and Layton saying they would boycott the debate if she was included. However, the View Magazine only focused on Harper in the article making no mention of Layton or Duceppe, laying the whole blame for May not being included on Harper, and even going so far as to accuse the TV networks of bias against May and the Green Party. Now, I don't mind the View calling the big networks biased, if they weren't being completely biased themselves against Harper in that article. Layton took the exact same stance against May regarding the debate, but the View conveniently left him out of their argument. Of course, anyone familiar with the View Magazine is well aware of their leftist lean. Now, I don't mind the View pointing out someone else's bias, but it just comes across as hypocritical and ineffective when they themselves are being just as biased, if not more so, within the same article.
