A funny satirical view of News Headlines

If you like Satire you will like This Hour Has 22 Minutes. However this show is meant for Canadian audiences, If you are an American or a Canadian Politician of any political persuasion you will be offended. The show is pretty well relevant only to Canadians. Non-Canadians wouldn´t know the issues or the personalities that are often lampooned.
