If you're saying there's nothing derogatory to present on John Kerry you must have missed that election thing going on in the USA.
Again, its irrelevant as to whether or not you like one guy over another. By all means, smear George Bush on CBC. Make my day. Go right ahead.
However, its a slant if you're smearing one guy and not presenting your viewers with the opposing viewpoint for balance. And that's clearly the position of the CBC.
By the way, you guys defending the CBC sound a lot like the guys you laugh at for defending FOX.
In fact, you shouldn't be defending either. That's my only point.
However, if it makes you feel better I'm going to be getting my head drilled by a dentist in about an hour!!!

I wasn't saying there was nothing to smear Kerry with, I was saying there was far less. The two big issues were 'waffling on issues' and the whole Swift Boat thing, which is significantly less material than what was presented with Bush. I'm not saying it wasn't slanted, I'm saying, it's not as easy (or maybe even possible) to make sure it's 50-50 both ways, especially with the way Bush has played the international community.
And yes, I'd defend the CBC over Fox anyday. Not that I was one of the big voices screaming against Fox anyway...
