Of course, I think FOX is biased. Don't insult me. FOX is as far tilted to the American right as CNN used to be tilted to the American left. I wrote about this half a year ago telling you all you'd soon graduate from CNN-bashing to FOX-bashing. Welcome. Furthermore, FOX has a stable of articulate intelligent conservative newscasters with bookdeals and radio shows. They're a machine.
Obviously CBC is biased. Every bit as biased. I imagine it would be very evident to an American and especially a conservative American but much more difficult to notice if not. You NEVER see a story on CBC that is pro-right wing America (pro-Bush), for example. The American right is often described with epithets such as "the conservative right wing Republicans" just like many FOX broadcasters label the American left as "liberal left wingers". I can't tell you how many stories I see that portray Americans in a negative light. While a show like "Good Morning America" interviews cosmopolitan New Yorkers on their way to their jobs at investment banks and publishing houses for their "people on the street" segments, CBC tends to have god-conjuring American hillbillies talking about the moral decline of society. An interview last night showed a number of Canadians saying things like "Well, you always have to worry about the Americans retaliating against us" as if American Abrams tanks are going to be rolling across the border to attack it's NAFTA partner over some social policy.
I don't find it surprising that you think your news is less biased than others. Al Jazeera viewers think of their news as the least biased. The Japanese think theirs is unbiased. Americans think there news is unbiased. Idiots all.
