Conflict Bias...

The media very often portrays an image of intense partisanship on Parliament Hill and to an extent, I imagine that the image is true. Every party wants to win more seats, every party is ideological and has a certain set of principles, but the media never seems to take the opportunity to show the warm and fuzzy stuff that takes place as well.

For example, last week there was a hockey game between Tory and Liberal MPs, and I don't think there was a single story on this in the media. Yes, it's not really that important when compared to the bigger issues (i.e. how the government spends your money), but still, what's so harmful about showing how not everyone in Ottawa hates each other enough to not play hockey with each other?
