dowbiggen is bad but try reading the swill that is called fair and balanced journalism out of the left coast.
makes the calgary sun look like the national post. and the sports is terrible, tony gallagher, my. god.
i boycott the major newspapers news, it is starting to all look like trash to me. i just skip past it all to sports.
goes double for tv too. as soon as there is 1 minute spent on trivial crap, i am gone from that channel forever. and anything with ben mulroney.
what chills me to the core are the stories aboot brittany spears or how much ben affleck sucks ahead of stories involving life and death. i'd love to be able to generalize and say that the US media is worse than ours but canada is no world leader in the news quality either.
which as tv goes pretty much leaves me with the BBC. not too sensationalist, at least in comparison tio the trash on this side of the atlantic. i imagine the brits have their tabloid culture as well, in fact they're famous for it. but that local peculiarity seems to not invade EVERY SINGLE NEWS OUTLET like our crap seeps into. just a foot in the door, everywhere.
hey i guess they're just chasing the buck. not my buck.
