Oh god... here we go again...

Keep in mind we live in nice little democracies, we have no idea what real "scandals" are.

And isn't your main news channel in Canadian controlled by the government?

First off, it might be, but then again, so are American ones. And if American ones arnt, then neither is ours.

Our "main" news channel, CBC, is run by our government.

I know there are many others, but I've always seen CBC as the main source here... though maybe not everyone does.

But yeah we do have a lot of American channels, I'm not aware of any major news channels that are run by the government like CBC is.

To my knowledge our government does not run any news channels.

It used to run PBS but it is not privately funded.

So I guess you care more about American news than Canadian news? Why wouldn't you watch CBC, it provides Canadian and International news.

I dont know, i just never watch it. Its too depressing for me honestly, there are only so many dead and bloody corpses due to wars i can see in a day. Too many things on people dying. Too many things on people that have no homes.

At least with American news i know its going to be uplifting and positive. I know nothing will be bad or badmouth anything, because then they would be off the air.

I really need to go back up to Canada to se what we're importing over the TV there, because that sure doesn't sound like anything I see on the news...
