From the supplier: Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien believes that editorials affect not people but the position of the nation's politicians. He criticized the US media's obsession with the sex scandal surrounding US Pres Bill Clinton for being, in his opinion, obsessed with ratings rather than with informing people of what is happening around the nation overall. Chretien noted that a weakened president was not good for the world economy.
