It's like the sad indictment we made on ourselves as a country last year when more Canadians watched the US VP debate instead of the federal debate in Canada, but I digress.
CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS are god awful. They're all extreme right wing, republican cheerleading factories and the fact that Jon Stewart is the only reliable source for federal level news in the US with an educated opinion is an indictment on the entire news industry in the US. I will feel sorry for Canada the day the best news our country produces is on the Royal Canadian Air Farce, despite how talented and entertaining Stewart is.

LOL.....okay then.
Outside of Fox, I don't think you can refer to all of the above as 'extreme' right wing. But, each to his own.
CBC has probably the best international news coverage that I know of. But, the rest of their programming, outside of HNIC is junk.
