Canada denied Fox news

[charrison]

To recap, U.S.-based Fox News wants to broadcast its 24-hour news channel in Canada, the CRTC turned them down, The Globe and Mail's television columnist John Doyle applauded the CRTC decision and, at the same time, fired some of the usual broadsides that the political left reserves for Fox.

That prompted a flood of cross-border e-mails between supporters of Fox and The Globe's John Doyle, which appeared in the Sunday Times. Entertaining reading to be sure, but the larger issue that is at play here is hardly quirky. Set aside for the moment that Fox News is the dominant news network in the United States, leaving the increasingly dreary CNN far behind. (Never mind CBS, ABC and NBC, which have been reduced to marginal status, sandwiching tame news items between ads for new products for seniors.)

CBS/ABC/NBC still has significant viewership. Their daily world news 1/2 hour dwarfs fox/cnn/msnbc viewers.

Why does Canada not want fox?

Canadians are socialist weaklings who do not deserve our attention and bask in our protection.

For some reason the socialist sheeple only want to be spoonfed the pablum that abc/cbs/nbc spew in thier vomitous fashion. Like some huge filthy buzzard regurtitating it's meal of roadkill to it's ugly offspring.

LOL censorship? Canada has much less censorship than it does in the US. The local channel use to have a nude news on at 11 (where nude people would do the news LOL), and a nude cooking show. And cuss words or pornography never gets censored even during prime time.

Canada denies A LOT of US content unless it contains a certain amount of Canadian content. Time magazine is US based, but you'll notice a slight difference with the Canadian edition because it has to contain a certain amount of Canadian content.

So you're saying that fox news morals are to high for canadian television?

Maybe in Canada you have to Actually Be have a base in journalism and adhere to the principles of being a reporter and journalist to broadcast news.

In that case Fox fails. They are 24hr Editorialized commentary on the news with car chases and hot chicks.

You can apparently get into some legel trouble in Canada if you subscribe to satellite network that is American based.

Or how about we just speak out against censorship of thought?

Fox-news shouldn?t run in Canada because it?s got to little French content.

Censoring nude people is infinitely less of an issue than censoring points of view.

Remember it?s America, not Mexico Canada nor Britain, that's the bastion of freedom of political expression in this world; freedom comes at a price, but it's also made us very wealthy: other places exchange freedom and prosperity for a social government control.

The fact is: the more towards communism you get, the more the government controls what you?re allowed to think, this shouldn't surprise anyone but the poor moderate liberal who actually thinks the only way to do-right by his fellow man is to have the government steel from the affluent but also believes in freedom of political speech.

If I was Canadian this would concern me but since I'm not it doesn't.

Fox can stay home.

LMAO you have just as much censorship there, just different stuff than here. Stern was kicked off the air in Toronto for degrading women and minorities and there have been numerous flaps regarding B&D porn from the US not being allowed into Canada without significant revisions. Canadian law like British law also allows for prior restraint of news. Just see the flap over the Karla Homolka trial for a good example of this.

Maybe because its sh|t.

Fox News incites violence, just like al-Sadr's newspaper incited violence so we had to shut it down (censor it) and just like al jazeera incites violence so we had to lean on Qatar to pressure their news network (censorship).

Well it might not be the government.......but FOX is capitalists who are reporting, and they report whatever gives them most money. Commercials works better when served with something you like, like how rightfull your country is acting, and that you're the good ones while you fight the lowest scum of 7th Hell. They don't want you to think or give you the whole truth, they want you to feel good so you go buy stuff from the commercials. (Just to put it very squared)
