Well just finished watching a Fifth Estate special on the US media and percieved 'left' and 'right' wing bias... interesting to say the least - it's too bad DeltAlum doesn't get the CBC I'd have loved to here his take on the interviews with some of the media personalities...
Link to CBC website listing resources:

For those interested media watch-groups from the left and right are listed at the end of the page... intersting to see the connections to certain "studies" already used on GC.
Personally I found the correlation between primary news source and beliefs regarding the War in Iraq and US Politics - particularly the fact that the more you watched FOXNews the more apt you were to believe a) World opinion was in favour of the US taking military action in Iraq; b) WMD had been founf; c) Saddam and Iraq were directly responsible for 9/11... now if Fox is far and balanced, how can these misconceptions be more prevalent amongst their more advid viewers?
PS> Canadians will get a kick out of the FOXNews coverage shown regarding Bush's visit to Canada after the US election - priceless that the experts no so little about our and their own history
Ann Coultier stated that Canada had sent troops to fight in Vietnam, and when corrected by the interviewer she argued with him that he was wrong.... he was even helpful enough to suggest that perhaps she was thinking of Australia... which she said no to - she was sure it was Canada
Priceless.
