| Which national broadcaster do you feel is the most fair and balanced when it comes to Canadian politics? |

| I actually like CTV though some of their commentators are clearly biased. |

| I would like to think Global since it is part of the Asper / National Post empire but I don't watch it so I don't know. |

| Chantal Hebert is usually balanced. |

| I find Andrew Coyne to be fairly respectable. He seems to be more of a Conservative than a Liberal. |

| John Ivison is pretty fair in the National Post. Duffy is usually pretty good. |

Ya, Chantal Hebert is probably the most fair and balanced opinionist I can think of. She has interesting insights without the spin.
Rex Murphy too. |

CBC is as discredited as the Red Star. The more i watch them bash the CPC the more I pray for a majority so we can sell it.
Some tory candidate will say something off colour remark about immigrants and crime and they automatically pan to Dion asking for his resignation. Then after 10 minutes of this they then make a 5 second comment on the Liberal resigning after saying that Israel warned the Jewish people in the twin towers.

Nice to see some media outlets(The Star) actually coming out and saying some nice things about Harper. They must be noticing their subscriptions dropping.
By the way the National Post was selling 3% more newspapers then last year. Pretty good when newspaper sales are falling. |

| I watch all types of news. I watch Global National, CFTO (CTV) evening news, and Mike Duffy Live. |

| We use to think that the CBC had no competition when it came to promoting far left Canadian political policies and parties; however, now CTV is challenging CBC’s far left, socialist loonies. |

Most reporters are leftwing because of the Universities they were educated in.
It's amazing to watch Duffy and then switch to Don Newman. Duffy kills Mr. personality every time. Plus Duffy isn't biased. |
