Incremental Suppression Of Information In The 'New' Harper Canada

So I went to the website of the Winnipeg Free Press to read news of the Supreme Court of Canada decision to NOT hear the Conservative Party appeal of their in & our conviction. The Canadian Press story was only up for a short while and was then pulled. The screen capture above shows you what you find when you seek information.

Other media outlets such as the Ottawa Citizen and Montreal Gazette are carrying the story but NOT the CP release.

UPDATE:
A few minutes ago, Canadian Press issued an abbreviated version of the original story.

Welcome to Harper's NEW Canada where political pressure trumps hard news.

Next step: the Contempt Party will appoint judges who will give the Cons the decisions they want.

Actually, I think it was because CP had written a completely inaccurate story. See a twitter comment from one of the Ottawa Citizen journalists (who's story was posted, as you note): http://twitter.com/#!/glen_mcgregor/status/66147457427456000
