That's funny!!! Here in Canada, we don't have any "anti-US rhetoric" other than watching the news (i.e dying Iraqis, suffering Palestinians, fat Republicans all patting each other on the back). Our government and business people are shitting themselves right now that Canadians are becoming too anti-American (especially as to how it will effect trade and commerce). There was a lot of anti-Canadianism in the US because we refused to go to Iraq.
No, there wasn't. GORT. 'Anti-Canadianism' was barely a blip. Anti-France-ism was the order of the day.
If your news gave you antoher impression, it was exaggerating. If it *only* shows dying Iraqis (and blames that *only* on US actions), suffering Palestinians (but not victims of Hamas), 'fat republicans patting ech other on the back' (but not other Americans, neither fat nor republican, worried about what's happening here) , then I'd say your news reporting is no better than ours.
We also weren't too happy that one of your yahoo pilots killed four of our soldiers in Afghanistan (and got off scott-free) in an unfriendly fire incident.
We do get most American news broadcasts and are appallled at how soft they've been on Bush. Of course, you don't see half the shit we see on CBC (Canadian news) and the BBC from Fallujah after one of your "precise" missiles hits a target of .......... women and children.
Actually, I, and many others here, I'm sure, get both those services on cable. I particularly enjoy the BBC perspective, and applaud their willinglness to go in-depth --something now unheard of here on TV news -- but I'd hardly call it rigorously unbiased.
Again, you provide an easy target for the American right, and only a sort of empty, self-destroying comfort to the left, with this sort of rhetoric. That is the reality of it, as far as I can tell.
