(No Subject)‏

I have been reading about Haiti. I have gone to many web sites; not just CNN or CBC, Al-Jezeerah, and others. I am very disappointed in the comments that many Canadians have made. They see this as an opportunity to go country-bashing. "Oh! We have done so much but those other countries have done nothing". China had a team on the ground the next day. They are so busy jumping to conclusions that they don't have time to check the facts that are dozens of countries involved. I have seen China mentioned and middle-east. They see this as an opportunity to verify their biases. I don't care for people who have have those pre-conceived ideas.

All of the countries that were ctiticized were there. China, cuba, Mexico, Venezula, Iran, etc. but people don't hear about that so they automatically assume that they aren't there or they don't want to hear that their assumptions are wrong.

I mainly check CBC because I am Canadian. I know that they are primarily interested in getting news to other Canadians, that is thir job. But I am so disappointed in some of the comments. The biased based comments disturb me. I thought we were past that.
