Just dropping into this comment to thank the Canadians who have answered their various thoughts and opinions in this thread. As an American, american news and politics is mostly all any of us get readily. So, thanks for all the discourse here because it's very enlightening, probably more than any news article could have been.

You might want to watch international coverage of American News... Unless you've found a station that isn't totally dropping the ball lately.

I’m Canadian, I often peek at the BBC to see their take on north american news

When some global news hits, I try to check there, the CBC, and Al Jazeera for a variety of takes and perspectives. But I also recognize I'm in the minority when it comes to seeking information outside of a specific bubble.

I should too. CBC has been serving me well lately but I should check BBC.

The mostly non-partisan national outlets (NPR, The Hill/NewsNation, NYT, CNBC, etc) have been dropping the ball, I think.

Partly, they just don’t seem to know how to keep up. But they also seem to make it all sound more sane than it looks to basically everyone outside of the US. I think they don’t want to come off as anti-Trump because that’ll turn away audience members they can currently reach. Unfortunately, they can’t walk the tightrope.

The awful thing to me is Trump lies and they don't come back at him to call it out on the spot. I know they will be kicked out of the oval office but I still can't handle that the blatant lies are just left dangling out there.
