    Fwiw, here's a sub-wiki summary of polls re: the American public's view over time of perceived bias by the US news media:

    Old news, but still relevant (FYI, Brian Lilley once opined on 580AM CFRA radio [Ottawa] that 'Communists' are ones that 'kill people', and why do many Canadians treat them as kind of 'cool' when other forms of extremism are not treated that way?):

    edit: supplement to my introductory paragraph, re: Brian Lilley:

    Here's the wiki re: humidex; note that the record value recorded in Canada was in Manitoba 2007 (before that the record was held by Windsor, Ontario, Canada's southernmost point, since 1953) - I've seen on the internet search results showing that high humidity levels might be the world's downfall (that is, assuming belief in manmade global warming):
