Wow, the Nation really doesn't pull any punches. I wonder how they really feel on the issue?

I really think this is the worst of American politics and something that has to change IMO. There is no length to the distances people will go to try and discredit their opponent down here. To us Canadians it is really shocking and strange to see take place. Culture shock? A little.

It just sucks when the people that you trust to give you the straight poop stop doing so and start fabricating stories to keep their viewers happy. Its so damn obvious at times. With the advent of FoxNews, its just got worse and worse and there is no end in sight to the downward slippery slope. I used to hate CBC because they were so damn Liberal, but I would even listen to them right now over a lot of the media down here, especially Fox. Now to be "fair and balanced" other stations start to go to opposite extremes. Its crazy.

The whole Sinclair issue is just part of the disease down here. The country is so divided on so many issues and its getting really ugly. The tension is such that a lot of companies have implemented policies against talking about politics and religion. Its sad when it comes to this and that something as basic as the democratic process can become a divisive issue for a country. I don't think the founding fathers had this in mind when they created the system.
