US has more EVERYTHING. But yes. I hate to say it, but I feel that we (Canada) wouldn't even HAVE anti-vaxers if we weren't constantly consuming US media (aka propaganda).

In fairness, y'all have made us poor Americans believe that every vaguely-futuristic city and/or DC-universe city looks like Vancouver or Toronto.

about half of our populous thinks politics == entertainment AND loyalty is the greatest virtue.
ever since a president said wait we have to quash the fairness doctrine its preventing propaganda, it has been very bad
It’s “farce” of numbers.

Or even just the posh stuff. I think that the Xavier School for Gifted Children was Casa Loma, which is a mansion in Toronto. It was definitely the scene where Lucas Lee (Chris Evans) was shooting his movie in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World."
My film making friends are pretty annoyed at how many times Vancouver fills in for Seattle

When courts rule that people who appear on cable news channels can't be held to a standard of truth in reporting, there's a definite issue.
Well, one loophole is that Fox News, despite its name, isn’t purely news. Neither are any of the other 24hr news channels.
I should point out that i think Fox & Tucker got off lightly in that case. I don’t think Fox’s attorneys’ assertion that legally, “no reasonable person” would believe him passes a sniff test.
Either that, or they’ve just provided the core winning argument for vastly scaling up the USA’s mental health care system.

And the problem, there, is the lack of clear delineation between what is news, and what is opinion on those "news channels."

Well, we could ALL use some scaling up of mental heath care. I mean, we always could since the dawn of time, but now is no exception. Perhaps moreso than, say, 20+ years ago. Is it weird that the 90's seem like the most relaxed decade looking back? I think it's weird.
