Media monitoring nears $2M National By BRIAN LILLEY, PARLIAMENTARY BUREAU
JAN 24,11
OTTAWA -- The federal government spent nearly $2 million last year to monitor what journalists were saying about it.According to figures released to QMI Agency by the Privy Council Office (PCO), the department belonging to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the feds spent $1,924,696 to equip bureaucrats and ministers' political aides with one of three news monitoring services.The services -- Command News, FPinfomart and Newscan -- alert the account holder when stories are published about their department or minister. The accounts also allow access to a searchable database of news stories.Media monitoring is not a public service, said spending watchdog Kevin Gaudet of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
According to the data supplied by PCO, there are 736 accounts for Command News, 103 for FPinfomart and 61 for Newscan. Command News alone cost $1.2 million.Why do they need 736 accounts?" asked Liberal House Leader David McGuinty. Is this going to their Conservative caucus research bureau? McGuinty pointed out that all MPs have access to media monitoring services at a lower cost.Every morning, we get up here we have a Quorum produced by the Library of Parliament, McGuinty said. Quorum is a hard-copy clipping service that monitors for political news. It is widely and freely available on Parliament Hill.The Library of Parliament also provides a searchable database of political stories available in MPs' offices through an internal network.
The $1.9 million isn't the whole story, because it does not include the cost of the large staff charged with working on media files.One estimate provided to QMI Agency put the number of staff in PCO working on media monitoring at 20. The Prime Minister's Office has another 30 to 40 who deal with monitoring and responding to media stories.In addition, every federal government department has a media monitoring branch normally made up of civil servants plus political aides who also perform the same function.Sounds like one of those great places to find a million dollars -- or two or three -- in savings, said Gaudet.While a government spokesman defended the use of the news services, he also said savings may be on the way.
Departments use news services like Command News, Newscan and FPinfomart as one way of staying abreast of the public environment, said PCO spokesman Raymond Rivet.Having said that, in this period of fiscal restraint we will be looking at ways of consolidating and achieving savings on how these services are offered.

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.
JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
REVELATION 13:16-18
16 And he(FALSE POPE) causeth all,(WORLD SOCIALISM) both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(CHIP IMPLANT)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.(6-6-6) A NUMBER SYSTEM
