This week the CBC has started "in depth" coverage of the American election. Now I had over kill a couple of months ago with the American election. No offense intended about the election.
Now CBC is our national station and presents much different programming than commercial stations. I listen to it all the time.
So teams of broadcasters have been set up all over the main areas of the US to "give us the background" on what they think are key areas and policies.
With that, many of the usual programs are cancelled.
What I find particularly offensive is the handling of the truth by the political parties. Parties have always skillfully used slant to make their policies appealing. Now they just plain out lie about things.
I saw a picture of an interesting cap that said Make lying wrong again. Wouldn't that be great.
However in a short time all the shenanigans of the last year will be over and the fight will begin as to who won. So apparently counting of votes doesn't show who wins. Some people think that people can't count and for sure machines can't count.
Machine counting is very easy and accurate. You take the ballots and records to head quarters. There are a few checks and balances and then the ballots are put in the machine and the count is spit out.
So I will have to enjoy some more election time.
