Jeff Gannon Story in Canada


It's nice sometimes to realize we are up here and we only have to watch what is going on down there.

Honestly, as canadians we would hear this on CBC radio, we would probably get a good chuckle, then we would assume something would be done about it.

However in the states it has taken weeks for the press to get this story out. Now that it is out, nobody knows what will happen next. This Gannon story certainly has wings.

You have to admire the Americans like the ones on this site who have helped fight and un-earth this story truely a victory during their epic battle for fair journalism.

Guy at work says to me "The Gannon shit is f*cked up, eh" - I reply by pointing at DU and saying "Your telling me, I got front row tickets"

2. Thanks. We're doing our best.
I hope we can fix the American press without dismantling it. I think the reconstruction of the press under this administration would be an appalling thing to witness.

5. Oh, thanks! But what we need you to do is be ready to welcome those of us
that need a future home and welcome us with open arms and then be prepared to defend your country against the Neocons....the thing is, they won't attack the borders, they will attack from within.... :hi:

6. Canadian news reports most everything from the US
It's not like the US news, which rarely reports about anything outside its borders (except Iraq.) Like the fact that * stole the election - it's pretty much commonly accepted in Canada.
