Why is it so unreasonable that Canadians should have any newspaper that shows a right-leaning viewpoint? It's not like you can call the National Post "extreme" by any stretch of the imagination. This irrational bias against anyone having any competing political ideas is going to backfire bigtime when eventually people become deeply tired of their ideas and culture being suppressed.
- ksaj 7y agoI have to agree. I'm definitely left leaning, but I've occasionally read NP when nothing else was around. It's written a bit too "simple" for the style of writing I prefer reading, so it's clearly a different demographic than mine anyway. But even though they present a definite more-righty-than-me bias, I never thought it was bashing their readers in the head with their political ideals. And I do read Metro in transit most of the time, even though it is also more-righty-than-me. I can't be so kind towards The Sun, though. That's more like the Canadian Fox. The National Enquirer is more informative. The Sun is all about strong opinions, regardless of content and facts. Speaking of Metro, where did 24 Hour go? It just up and disappeared in the most silent way. I preferred their Crossword since it wasn't American. We don't have "paper ones" in the till, and we have a lot of -our and -re type spelling differences. A lot of the clues are things only Americans deal with, like SAT scores, etc. Why wouldn't a Canadian paper use Canadian crosswords?
