Have you ever heard the song Dirty Laundry, by Don Henley?

This is what Ima is talking about, I believe:

Quote:
 
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It’s interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re stiff
Kick ’em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!

I assumed that Canadian news was just like here in the US and the BBC from GB.....I have looked at yahoo news, the Canadian edition, and noticed that it was just as liberal as the American edition (Daily news).

I would suggest canada.com or http://cnews.canoe.ca for Canadian internet news (I'm sure the others have their favorites as well). With respect to tv news, I would suggest that Canadian news seems to be more localized (or at least an attempt is made to tell the viewer how the story influences them) versus American news that seems to be more sensationlized. Note that I said 'seems', as this is only my impression.

P.S. Thanks psyc, now I have that song in my head. :bash
