I live 30 miles from Detroit/Cleveland/Toledo and get to see all the offerings from our U.S. neighbors. The CBC, CTV and TVO are head and shoulders better than the US networks in authentic news and documentary offerings, PBS excepted.
WOW. Sheeple much? Wake up partner, the "networks" you just listed are some of the most biased cr*p in the world. Toss in Global, and you're all set. Those four combined are so far off into the left-spectrum of the deep end, I can't ever fathom a successful recovery. It ain't Rick Mercer and Rex Murphy that can recover all of our canadian media.
Want proof? CBC ran a piece about the "horrors" of the canadian long-gun registry being dismantled. They aired a short clip of an illegal weapons seizure of handguns and an AR15 - Can you possibly explain to me how illegal, restricted-class guns have anything to do with the dismantling of the non-restricted class (a.k.a. long gun) registry? Of course, it was all about shock factor, featuring grandpa with his old duck gun wouldn't have the same "wow" factor.
TVO featured a "discussion night" on the same registry. Interesting how all the "experts" agreed it should stay.
Or what about CTV? They featured a segment giving pity to a teenager for stealing a fully-automatic rifle out of the back of a police car, while blatantly giving in to his "I was scared and didn't know what to do with it" segments of [censored]. Uh, kid, how about not touching it in the first place?
Take a Valium and settle down !!
I didn't say we were "perfect", just better.
You aren't surrounded by US broadcasters so you have no idea what I'm talking about.
