Colin, it all depends WHERE they lived, and what they watched. Live in Toronto, watch CITY-TV, and your view of the world would be small.

What the CBC news, newsworld, etc, and you can watch news programs from all over the world... documentaries from all countries, news programs from all over (subtitled or translated), and such. Watch the BBC news channel and get news from all over the world - asia, africe, europe, etc...

CTV news is more like american news programs, and tends to show and "us and them" style of news, probably more than 40% of the news nightly is about Canada and Canadians, even if it isn't the most important news of the day.

It depends on how you watch - and if you actually watch it.

PS: Notice, I didn't make one comment AT ALL about american news stations... nothing for JR to yell "AMERICAN BASHER!".... sorry if I didn't take the bait properly!

Didn't one of the posts above specifically mention CBC AND BBC?

I think if you watched the exact same news story on CNN and then on BBC you would say that the CNN news story was propaganda and the BBC story was news.
