Come on Tabs - the Fifth Estate is an essential part of the democratic process. And it has failed the USA miserably in the last coupla years. It is exactly the job of the press to deeply, seriously challenge and question the actions of government, not to play lapdog to the Oval Office in a manner not demonstrated by any body as significant as CNN since WW2.
Watch the news for a few days, any days from both the BBC (or Canada's CBC) and CNN and the differences become obvious. It's exactly the failure of the US press that has given traction to the likes of Micheal Moore.
If the press had been more objective up to this point, Moore would just be another cow chewing old cud for crap's sake...
