I actually do not feel news deprived at all Martin. One of the benefits of living here is that we get all US networks as well as Canadian networks. As I am a news junkie I also check out important\interesting stuff on different sites.
Canadian and international sites and sites such as AP, Reuters etc have no dog in this fight and no interest in shaping public opinion. Ive saif this before and I will say it again. I find Al Jazeera a fair site for news. While its opinion editors are probably left to left of center...the news side reports facts as they are. Like Fox news does now
Not saying they are perfect or infallible or better...just they have no reasons to lie about things, or misrepresent
For example...Mike Pompeo is being excoriated by CNN for saying there would be a seamless transition to Trump's second term...then played that over and over....while ignoring the rest of his statement. Pompeo says it was a joke...and probably was. Bad timing and tasteless perhaps, but I give him the benefit of the doubt there and am dismayed by CNN's reporting there.
On the other hand, Fox Opinion side (not the news people) are all in on the massive election fraud conspiracy
I am totally against edited news clips designed to take things out of context and it taints everything the offenders say
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
