@millsix and you and your hick friends are going to hell thanks to your redneck ideology XD, btw tell your wife ill pay her 50 bucks for a blowjob tonight i feel sorry for your poor ass
See, I was looking forward in seeing the tactics and partisan tricks both American liberals and conservatives use in the media. That's what the beginning of this show lead me to believe. But, aside from a few short clips of a few liberals saying some stupid things, this is obviously blasting the conservatives. Although exposing their lies and tricks is nice.. it would have been nice to see the same thing for liberal media outlets. CBC has really demonstrated media bias.
@infernocanuck The lies and tricks are far more egregious on the conservative side of American political discourse than the left. MSNBC has some silly nonsense on it as well, but nowhere near as bad as Fox News, and with nowhere close to the same consequences. Fox panders specifically to white, Christian, conservative voters and tells them everything they think they want to hear regardless of how accurate it is. They ran with the ACORN stuff, question Obama's citizenship... it's ridiculous.
@infernocanuck Actually, what you are misunderstanding is that Canada is bias towards reality. Democrats and Republicans are both part of the same game. It has nothing to do with bashing "Conservatives" I am Canadian Conservative. I believe in lower taxes, economic fiscal sustainability, free health care, toll-less roads, social security, taking care and housing the downtrodden, feeding the hungry, helping and defending the innocent. I found it to be an accurate depiction of situation.
This piece is as disgusting as The O'Reilly Factor. Way to throw mud back. I'm sure that's the best way to elevate the debate. I believe that the commentators at Fox are buffoons but this report made me feel sympathy for them. Thank :[
This is proof that Canada is stuck with the Liberal equivalent of Fox. Neither party has a monopoly on the high ground.
I like 'thehourhas22minutes' on youtube...it's a fun place...I don't have cable, nothing there but adverts adnauseum and follow bbc online news...I like how they had a conservative attack ad on Dionne...he was in the 8 items of less line at the store and he had 11 items...so if he can't count, how can we believe his numbers :)))
For anyone who doesn't know the CBC is extremely bias. I am not surprised AT ALL they are favoring the Liberals in this documentary. My tax dollars paid for it : ' ( .
The Liberals are just as hard on the Conservatives as vice-versa. To be honest you really have to watch more than one channel to get somewhere close to the truth.
Donahue is such a fucking hypocritcal asshole.The press is suppose to challenge politicians.ALL OF THEM!!!!!The main streem media doesnt go after the left wing democrats.Why would they,they have the same agenda.Total power over the american people.COMMUNISM!!!!!!
I really like this episode of the Fifth Estate, but I noticed it's similar to the documentary Outfoxed (ie similar guests, similar points, etc). Still pretty good though.

Jeremy Glick is giving the far left diatribe about Afganistan and Iraq and the CBC guy is against O'Reilly for getting upset at these lies. Amazing. Then they interview Mallick who is far left as well and employed by the CBC and posts hateful things all the time. The CBC guy paints her as normal and down the middle. This is the same woman that degraded Sarah Palin.

Then they mention Dan Rather, who obviously is a liberal and don't forget rathergate. Guess CBC has egg on their faces after that eh? Then they attack the MRC because they dare to expose the liberal bias that is out there. Bernard Goldberg has it right and he just exposed Cronkite for the liberal that he was and how hateful too he was against those with conservative views. Rather is terrible and I hope he is proven guilty in court.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They have Charles Lewis talk about partisanship, a leftwinger. Notice the CBC guy doesn't label him leftwing or liberal but does it to Ann Coulter. One-sided? You betcha. Then, he says the American right took over the airwaves? Because more people listen to conservative talk radio hosts than liberals, that is called a takeover by the CBC.
Hey, look at how effective their bullying was. They lost 2/3rds of the branches of our government and one of their installed judges stepped down in horror of their bullshit!
Ann Coulters remark that countries should be invaded and their leaders converted to Christianity illustrates how the right has wrongfully hijacked Christianity and is using it for their own ends.Her remark was also also stupid as it pours petrol on an already inflamed situation.She does it merely to draw attention and ratings to herself.
I think it's so funny that Ann Coulter thinks the conservatives are holy and the majority. She demonizes liberals so thoroughly. It's very MacCarthy-esque to me. Yes, there is probably a favor towards liberalism in this documentary, but I think that doesn't make all statements invalid and it shows how most of the rest of the western world views American politics. That I think is interesting.
I think it is necessary to leave the US to be able to see how completely insane US political debate really is. Even reasonable and educated Americans are so caught inside the insanity they therefore can not see it objectively. Europeans and Canadians look at the intolerance and anger of US political and social debate and we just cringe.
Ugh. Why waste air time on Ann Coulter? She's a nitwit with nothing interesting to say. What kind of simple-minded fool really says "I'm always right and everyone who disagrees with me is evil"?
Its not liberal vs conservative.. its future vs past.
"Conservative" religious persecution, "christain nation"
"Conservative" against technology, want to burn books..
"Conservative" closet racists...
it just like the civil war.. they r the minority.. pretty soon their party will be forgotten.. and the two new parties will be libertarians and democrats..
Coulter is a fucking liar. The conservatives are not getting stronger. They are getting weaker in this country, thankfully. Every day I see proof (people, laws, beliefs, our students) that we are becoming more liberal in our thinking. Not stupid nut cases like Coulter.
This is probably the most best documentary that I've see from the fifth estate. It shows an accurate portrayal of how the American media cares more about its self-interest and agenda than to promote integrity in jounalism
@MEpianist ;Much appreciated MEpianist, right back atcha. We think most of the Americans we talk with are cool too. There seems to be a lot of hate towards Canadians down there though, I'm not quite sure why. I've always thought we were pretty peaceful, friendly people. Anyways, thanks for the thought.
Ann Coulter and Elisabeth Hasselback should go bowling together. I pray they never get into politics. Get the facts straight, and I think that if US wants to learn more about rights and foreign policy should use their cable tv to watch CBC.
Its like posting a 41 minute video saying dog shit is a good alternative to Windex - you don't keep watching the video. Right-wing bias? give me a break, the media is overwhelmingly left-wing - it's openly admitted to, not something I, or anyone else is pulling out of their ass -- unlike this video of coarse.
At the end of the episode (it got cut off from this YouTube video, but the episode is the same), the Fifth Estate host here mentions to Canadians that you don't have to be American to get Fox News anymore. Fox News has been available as a digital network for about three years at least.
man, i would pay lots of money to see big mouth O'reilly and ass Coulture get the shit kicked out of them. and it's really sad that these people have a show because all they are doing is making more enemies for their country
stopped watching? geez man peek behind the curtain. are u afraid to have your opinions questioned? what are opinions anyways? aren't they formed based on what you see what u hear what you learn? what is the danger in seeing a different point of view? what is laughable? i suppsoe you find it hilarious that the pentagon recruited Ex-Military officers to appear on network and cable TV as "experts" with talking points? yep thats a real knee slapper all right.
If the massive industry of right-wing talk shows not part of the media? Is there a leftest equivalent to that? How do you suggest that this supposed left-wing bias came about given the popularity of Fox and that regardless of what network they're all owned by right-wing CEOs. I'm not sure how people have convinced themselves that the media is left but it's pretty daft.
Get this unless this vids on your list it wont be seen by the honest browser, Dont belive me, Do an easy walk just for you joe nothing, take a stance or opinion in a vid???? notice how i can question? Make honest comment against whats going down, and where will you end up? between net diversion and slightly more then the GED that can give you corperal stripes to a reatard,?
There's certainly bias everywhere you look, especially in the media. This documentary seems to paint the picture that all American media is biased toward the political right. Certain outlets (especially Fox News) are clearly biased to the right, but as a reader of the New York Times and watcher of broadcast news it would be hard to qualify everything as right leaning.
There's biases on both sides, so the more aware of that everyone is, the better. Shout out to Canada, haha.
Steve88, your almost right, Liberty was a word a concept that cost the blood of millions now being spewed like commie, You know the bank OF China, were in an agendist war, one for world dominance the other for peace among all life, we are one race all of us ManKind, and then you have those who mastered to exploit its us against them, I dont fear the Muslim world, I fear corperate military agenda, that will never fight or die, but simply migrate like the powers of rome,
Well yes scept during the ramp up towards the Iraq War, kindly point out the hard questions being asked by cbs nbc abc et all? Your network news let you down. they simply did not do their job. Outside of U.S.A. it was known taht Iraq , a secular regime had sweet frigg all to do with 9/11, and saudi al quaida. Im not saying now..i mean then. Canada committed troops to Afghanistan right away (liberal Government in Power). Iraq..totally different story.
I always wondered by watching the cbc report why it is terrifying to be called a liberal in the states. to the contrary there is nothing better than being opened to national healthcare, women rights, human rights, gay rights, seems like the republican platform is all about prosecution and alienation and closemindedness and oppression, what is great about that? I am so glad to be canadian :)
love the fact that the canadian journalist from the Toronto Globe and mail has written a column where she welcomes all american soldiers against the iraq war moving to Canada. we will accept any american who is at least intelligent enough to move north of the border and I want so suscribe to the globe and mail now.
If Canada does nothing on crime, how come we have 10 times less crime in Canada per capita than in the usa. that means that their is something very wrong with the american society. you have the dead penalty and we do not yet you have the biggest murder rate per capita in western hemisphere
I was horrified that a Radio Station CFRB was airing the topic of Deporting American Deserters. These young people swore an oath to defend the costitution of the united states and found in there hearts the true enemys of that sweet paper the constitution.
Are we being softened up by corperate media like in the USA ? Then again on CFRB Ryan Doyle Talked Being for America to go anywhere into any country and capture citizens?
America cheep Beer and smokes, Orivat insurance, 40 bucks a pop to get something like canadian Otrivan,
No Codien with out a script here,
so a generic brand of 1/8th grain ,you need a script for costs you the doctors visit,
just over 50 bucks for a 4 or 5 dollar intem compared to the states, The lists are too numerous to mention, And never walk with a limp after dark down here,Might as well be in Africa on a game trail.
the united states is the biggest insult to the civilized western hemisphere. The land were being put to death on death row is accepted, an eye for an eye vigilante attitude and you are the most criminalized country in the western hemisphere, please check the stats about your country
They are it's true. But the US is providing a terrorist target buffer for the rest of the World. While to USA gets hate, the terrorists target them and not Canada. That is why I want to US to continue with this right wing crap.
please, you can't even give your citizens universal healthcare, only in the united stated can people lose everything of they do not have sufficient health care coverage, insurance is for a car, a house, not heathcare, please this is a fondamental rioghtn for everybody. Canada puts its wealth on the people and social programs as for america they put money on the military and invading countries.
I think they should boycott Canada so we can sell our goods for their actual value instead of getting ripped off by these American corporations. Canada would just sell their goods to other countries, but what would the U.S. do for their resources.
Why you so angry? Being Canadian as well as you are, I had to ask that,
I never seen FREE DRUGS I would love to see Marijuana though placed into the same laws as Tobbaco And Alcohal which are by the way the 2 biggest killers and leagle products.
As For Prostitutes, Who gives a shit, clean them up and give them a licence, Canadians are alot more then your perspectives young man. You should go out more, Make Friends, Enjoy life find a nice partner or wife, And learn to smile.,
360shon's anger does seem rather misplaced considering this documentary was about the vitriolic tone of political debate.
As far as the whole "free drugs" thing, I've never heard of our federal or provincial governments giving out free drugs, either prescription or ilicit. Perhaps he was referring to the free methadone some clinics give to addicts - which is actually a way of DISCOURAGING heroin addiction. Maybe 360shon should research his arguments instead of spewing hateful words.
I hope I'm right in supposing that Bill O'reilly's show is popular because most people look at it as the 'journalistic' equivalent of the Jerry Springer Show: low-brow entertainment. Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if I were wrong to do so.
Good analysis. But now you're the enemy because you're using your brain and seeing things for what they are and not for what the regime wants you to see.
Although CBC is admittedly a Liberal media (I say this as a Liberal Canadian), the folks at Fifth Estate make a strong point- this kind of media one-sidedness and political affiliation is EXACTLY the situation that can be identified in early Nazi Germany (minus the dictatorship and direct media control, of course. Although I do find myself wondering on occasion how truly democratic the US really is these days.)
Watch the Michael Moore appearance on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. Notice how in the 4 min. SiCKO segment how supposed neutral journalist Dr. Sanjay Gupta. It's not easy to notice but you will see how he does the "fact checking" for you instead of letting you decide for yourself. A good news channel will only ask you to make up your own mind and Fox strongly discourages that.
alright, i vote NDP but im also open minded to conservative ideas such as tighter penalties for criminals but i can assure you, cbc anchors like peter mansbridge or ian hanomansing are not told what to think by stephen harper or stephan dion
That's right Ann, go over, kill "their leaders" and give them democracy, after that is, you have finished destroying democracy in America. The funniest part of all this is that the founders of the United States tried to create a system without political parties, because they recognized that it was partisan politics that lead to the unfair British taxation.
Air america was a sellout from the beginning when it signed with clear channel. It was meant to divide the left and the right. Just like Murdoch owns Bill Oreilly and the Simpsons. The left is allowed a voice, but never a winning voice. look at all the liberal losers on Air America. They picked people who have no mass appeal. If a liberal existed which had charisma then S/He would not be hired. You have to be annoying as a liberal if the conservative media hires you.
When fascism takes over, the media propagandists set out to divide the populace. First be gender. The airwaves are filled with misogynists. Then by religion, then by regionalism, then by race. They never divide the people by class, because fascism is a unspoken class war. The only thing used to unite the people is fear, fear from an outside threat so the country must go to war.
Great, somebody finally found proof that Fox News makes you stupid! How can anybody take anything they report seriously when their "news" consists of hourly updates on Anna Nicole Smith, Britney Spears and American Idol? Their mean-spirited, vacuous coverage is only meant to distract people from the complete and utter political corruption fostering a gradual corporate foreclosure on every aspect of American life.
my god, american republicans are the most ego-minded people on the face of the earth! fuck you man, burn in hell... only alive to gain power, no matter the cost..
Actually, its rather odd. When I was at NJC, they told us they didn't want to see any Hunter S. Thompson gonzo journalists but from the right. They said they wanted objectivity, yeah, right.
Wow, I remember when I was a part of that. Even attended the same internship as Coultier (NJC). Realized it was meaningless when George Bush came along, a guy who's really on the left passing himself off as a "conservative". In my book, there are those who believe in the power of the state, and those who don't, and it doesn't break down by what people are calling others "leftist" or "right wing". Bush is one of the most Statist Presidents ever.
Um, im sorry but saying Anne Coultier challenges you to think is like standing up and screaming 'I am a sheep, here me bah!' Anne Coultier is a puppet plain and simple. She may or may not even be human~
Of course they will win all the awards of the Canadian Association of Journalists. The CAJ is dominated by the liberal left mind set. Over 95% of the CAJ will vote against Harper this spring, they do not represent a cross section of Canadians! The TV news media is filtered by the left!
Of course you lost all the arguments in this thread, newtonbrook. You are preoccupied by the radical right mind set. Less than 1% of the American will agree with your viewpoint. You do not represent a cross section of Canadians. Your dumb ass.
Never said I did. It is the Liberal media who claim they do. 1% of Americans? A lot more Conservatives then that in America, cheapb, you have drunk from the Liberal media's Kool-aid.
Never said I drink. It is the conservative like you who claim I do. 95% of CAJ? A lot more conservatives then that. newton brook, you have drunk from the radical right wing media's piss.
WOW, one network that gives Conservatives fair treatment and the left goes crazy. It goes to show how the liberal MSM wants a total monopoly on TV news.
The CBC is a government subsidised far left network . They hate FOX because they are the only news network that offers balance. This irritates the CBC, they feel that ALL news networks should conform to their left wing bias. I have watched CBC for 40 years, they need to be pulled of goverment life support.
FOX=balance...HAHAHAHAHAHA. Pure jokes! Listen I really dont see conservatives as evil incarnate like some "lefties" do, just people with a different "style" if you will. But dude PLEASE give me a specific example showing some piece of journalism that shows their balanced point of view. Calling fox balanced is like calling Al frankin Unbiased...
CNN with its equal helping of rights and lefts is balanced. FOX? Their a mainstream version of FAIR. Your problem is your so far to the right you see EVERYTHING with red tinted glasses.
I agree except the part about CNN. You look at people like Glenn Beck and you tell me that CNN is Liberal. Like all American media except PBS, CNN is also right wing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
CNN is owned by Ted Turner, a flaming liberal. Furthermore, CNN has ran at least three unvetted and false stories that put U.S. soldiers in a very negative light. Owned by the government? Don't quit your day job, becuase you're a washout as a political commentator.
"In addition to its impact among viewers and on society, the fifth estate is also recognized by its peers. It has won a remarkable 243 awards, including an Oscar for best documentary, three international Emmy Awards, 31 Geminis, 20 awards and certificates for investigative reporting from the Canadian Association of Journalists and dozens of honours from The New York and Columbus International film and video festivals."
The American public is finally waking up about the dangers of conservatism. Do conservatives really want a one party system? They lable anyone a liberal that disagrees with their point of veiw. Conservatism and the Bush white house have done more to undermine American freedom than terrorism
The documentary is largely correct, but it's a bit rich coming from the CBC. The CBC's liberal bias is evident, and their coverage of Prime Minister Harper is vicious (they've had to apologize for their biased reporting). They've been a mouthpiece for the Liberal party for years. They're no better than Fox News.
Fifth Estate has won a remarkable 243 awards, including an Oscar for best documentary, three international Emmy Awards, 31 Geminis, 20 awards and certificates for investigative reporting from the Canadian Association of Journalists and dozens of honours from The New York and Columbus International film and video festivals."
it's frightening to hear that Mallick and Glick got threats after appearing on the show. now think about it, it's probably the same group of person (could be paid to do so), just like the british hooligans in the 80's. But still, this nation already is stumbling and the media is not slowing it down.
Exactly thrice ... I'm not sure how people can say that it is biased as this shows both sides of the controversy equally. Oh and can Canada please send that Rachel woman over to the states ? I think she got her views from them. I don't know anyone in Canada who thinks that having universal health care is a bad thing.
The documentary is not biased, it clearly shows the distinction between liberals who stick to the facts, and conservatives which make up their own facts and love to yell and humiliate others.
The only reason you think this documentary is biased is because it exposes the truth. And the truth doesnt side with the conservative base.
You just cant fix stupid.

There seems to be a lot of hate towards Canadians down there though, I'm not quite sure why. I've always thought we were pretty peaceful, friendly people. Anyways, thanks for the thought.

Ann Coulter and Elisabeth Hasselback should go bowling together. I pray they never get into politics. Get the facts straight, and I think that if US wants to learn more about rights and foreign policy should use their cable tv to watch CBC.

At the end of the episode (it got cut off from this YouTube video, but the episode is the same), the Fifth Estate host here mentions to Canadians that you don't have to be American to get Fox News anymore. Fox News has been available as a digital network for about three years at least.

zaunbie 3 years ago
There's certainly bias everywhere you look, especially in the media. This documentary seems to paint the picture that all American media is biased toward the political right. Certain outlets (especially Fox News) are clearly biased to the right, but as a reader of the New York Times and watcher of broadcast news it would be hard to qualify everything as right leaning.
There's biases on both sides, so the more aware of that everyone is, the better. Shout out to Canada, haha.

360shon's anger does seem rather misplaced considering this documentary was about the vitriolic tone of political debate.
As far as the whole "free drugs" thing, I've never heard of our federal or provincial governments giving out free drugs, either prescription or ilicit. Perhaps he was referring to the free methadone some clinics give to addicts - which is actually a way of DISCOURAGING heroin addiction. Maybe 360shon should research his arguments instead of spewing hateful words.

Although CBC is admittedly a Liberal media (I say this as a Liberal Canadian), the folks at Fifth Estate make a strong point- this kind of media one-sidedness and political affiliation is EXACTLY the situation that can be identified in early Nazi Germany (minus the dictatorship and direct media control, of course.

Watch the Michael Moore appearance on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. Notice how in the 4 min. SiCKO segment how supposed neutral journalist Dr. Sanjay Gupta. It's not easy to notice but you will see how he does the "fact checking" for you instead of letting you decide for yourself. A good news channel will only ask you to make up your own mind and Fox strongly discourages that.

Air america was a sellout from the beginning when it signed with clear channel. It was meant to divide the left and the right. Just like Murdoch owns Bill Oreilly and the Simpsons. The left is allowed a voice, but never a winning voice. look at all the liberal losers on Air America. They picked people who have no mass appeal. If a liberal existed which had charisma then S/He would not be hired. You have to be annoying as a liberal if the conservative media hires you.

When fascism takes over, the media propagandists set out to divide the populace. First be gender. The airwaves are filled with misogynists. Then by religion, then by regionalism, then by race. They never divide the people by class, because fascism is a unspoken class war. The only thing used to unite the people is fear, fear from an outside threat so the country must go to war.
