No country or region has perfect media, but the one here in America is absolutely disgusting. I mean, are you kidding? Have you compared American media to British for example? Do you see the quality of news here? Or worse, how controlled the media is?
Compare BBC or the Economist to any American outlet. Or even better, compare them to Democracy Now <-- real independent media.
I'm not sure I agree -- from my perspective, the US left seems as crazy as the US right.
As a Swede, I follow NY Times and BBC to compare with the Swedish daily media, for the laughs -- it is like laughing at mongloids doing pratfalls. :-( I think I could do the same with most other countries' media.
