The media in any country is very much... well, patriotic. They show what they want their people to see. You hear about all the victories and casualties but not the under lying things that your gov't doesn't want you to know about.

Happens everywhere, same with Canada.

However, some other country's news isn't shy about showing it.... so in Canada, we hear bad things about us in the US news, and in the US, you'd hear about things about your country in the Canadian news.

Viewing your own country through the eyes of the rest of the world can be a huge eye opener
