I 100% agree with you. The CanWest media conglomerate is the most biased media network in Canada. Unfortunately they have spread that biased to other countries as well, including New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland. I have recently seen two biases on Global that have really stuck in my head. <br /> <br />I. The first occured sometime before Hallowe'en this year when their news programs top story was about a woman who was not allowing her children out on Hallowe'en because it was Satan's Night. Now not only did they give this story much more attention than it deserved, they portrayed this woman as a hero! This is an inexcusable (but not inexpected) bias towards the Christian Right. <br /> <br />II. The second occured just yesterday when they ran something about Alberta's Senate election. What did they have to say? Well, besides making Ralph Klein out to be the hero of democracy, they refused to mention that many people felt the elections were a waste of money, and they neglected to inform the public that all of the candidates were on the right (i.e. PC, Alliance). <br /> <br />Visit this site for more information on bias in CanWest programming: <br /><a href="http://www.adbusters.org/metas/corpo/canwestwatch/">CanWest Watch</a>
