It's a relief to hear that there is a world outside of this insanity.

They also do stories that are way more in depth and their anchors are smart AF. One of the best takedowns I ever saw was Peter Mansbridge correcting Ann Coulter over and over that Canada was not in the Vietnam War (she kept insisting). She was trying to chastise Canada for not joining in the attack on Iraq and wondered why we would go to Vietnam and not Iraq. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
