For example, take Heather Mallick of the Canadian-taxpayer-funded (hey, this isn't something we need; we certainly don't need to have the state apparatus telling us what's supposedly news and what the People supposedly think, certainly not on our dime!) "Canadian Broadcasting Corporation", arguably Canada's most Leftwards-biased Big-Media entity.

Reaction
My American blogger-friend, Gayle, known on her blog as The Dragon Lady, asked me to do a post about this, being a Canadian, and I gladly obliged.
The Dragon Lady's post about Heather Mallick's unprofessional, infantile slurring of Sarah Palin can be viewed here.
You will be happy to know that the majority of commenters over there didn't like this trashy piece of what is laughingly supposed to pass for journalism either. One commenter said: "The only thing I can draw from this is that Mallick has a terrible inferiority complex and wishes she were half of Sarah Palin. Mallick is a bitter, nasty, uninformed creature. And quite the advertisement for an enlightened Canada." Many of the comments were even more unflattering. I think Heather has stepped on it, just like the entire liberal party has stepped in it by trying to trash Sarah Palin.
As you can see, once again the Canadian mainstream media has one of its front-liners insulting Americans, particularly American women and the future Vice-President personally, perhaps even the first woman President...
Is it any wonder so many Americans think that those arrogant, Soviet-Canuckistani Canadians are bigoted and hateful towards them? Of course, it's really only the Leftist Canadians who ought to be fingered as responsible for this perception, and this includes the Liberal Party and the other Far-Left Opposition parties, who haven't exactly demonstrated much friendliness towards America.
But wait... many Canadians are also extremely displeased with Ms. Mallick's unprofessional, infantile, biased, Leftist drive-by smear of Sarah Palin.
For example, over at top Canadian blogger Kate McMillan's Small Dead Animals, there's the well-discussed post:
Heather Mallick Lifts Her Snout From The Trough
(There's an appropriate picture, too)And we're forced to pay for this crap.*Any offense to swine is purely unintentional. Pigs are, in fact, both intelligent and useful - traits that cannot be convincingly attributed to Ms. Mallick.
When will the MSM ever get the hint that the People are sick and tired of their Left-wing crap being thrown all over the place, as if the People actually want and appreciate it?
It's time to demand an end to MSM bias.
The MSM is supposed to be impartial. Supposed to present factual information and allow the People to decide for themselves how their brains will process the information.
The entities that deliver "news" should not engage in bias-oriented fact-selection-and-presentation coupled with perceptually manipulative spin. In other words, the big-money newsmedia must stop with its propagandizing!
The news should be news, with the facts, and just that. Leave the spin to separate media, whether it be owned by the same company as delivers the news or owned by individual citizens in the form of blogs and everything in between.
It's not enough to simply add a descriptor that says "opinion", "commentary" or "viewpoint". If it's delivered right beside the news, there's still a perceptually-manipulative effect. The facts must be fully separated from the bigotry!
At least create a separate arm within the MSM entity for nothing but opinion, commentary and crap like that which Heather Mallick spewed and for which she accepted our tax dollars, which weren 't surrendered with consent for them being used for that purpose!
Scrap the CBC. Save our money. And separate factual news from any spin... completely.
Please. No more Left-wing nonsense from big-money "news" media.
