I just can't understand where those silly Conservatives keep getting this idea about "Liberal media"


CNN had a hilarious story this weekend about a new "trend" in America: Americans moving to Canada, because America is just "too Conservative"! (an actual statement from the article). To illustrate this trend, CNN found a whopping 3 Liberals, yes that's right, 3 people who are leaving the US to live in the big government utopian fantasyland to the North. One of them is a puppeteer (yes, that's right, a puppeteer), and another is a guy who is still in college (America looks better once you start paying taxes and stuff). The article also quotes another guy as saying: "Canada has an opportunity to define itself as a leader. In some ways, it's now closer to American ideals than America is." (Apparently, gun confiscation and high taxes are American ideals -- does anyone actually think that the country will miss this dope?)


The best part of the article is the end, where it nonchalantly mentions an interesting fact: "But every year since 1977, more Canadians have emigrated to the United States than vice versa -- the 2001 figures were 5,894 Americans moving north, 30,203 Canadians moving south. ". That means that Canadians moving South outnumbered Americans moving North by a ratio of 5 to 1. CNN gleefully writes a story about three people moving out of America because it is "too Conservative". I wonder when they will get around to writing a story about some of the tens of thousands of people who leave Canada because it is "too Liberal".


Biased story? Nahhhh. Where would someone get that kind of silly idea?
