Do you know why the Right Winged, Republican FOX news is banned in canada?

[LoneLaugher]

Yes FOX and MSNBC are equally dishonest and despicable. There is nary a degree of difference between them. Absolutely the same tactics. Absolutely.

Ran into a guy at the library today. He was completely freaked out because 23-26 year-olds were going to get a free ride on Obamacare and he was going to half to pay for it and liberals were going to make him homeless.

For everyone's sake righties, if your base is so dumb your going to have to be more careful with the scare tactics? I thought the guy was going to clock me when I told him he was full of shit. (Well, I put it a little nicer than that. )

My grandparents think Obama is trying to kill them through healthcare. There are effects of being chicken little.

To be perfectly honest, when the guy went inside I felt really bad for him? He was really, really scared. I mean like honestly scared. I realize Romney really wants the job and all but is this the way make a point? I tried to work through some of the points. The core of it seemed to be that all the increases in premieums and reducing in benefits lately are just the tip of the iceberg for what is coming in Obamacare. I asked him a couple questions to see if he understood how the reimbursement mechanism worked for health insurance and when he didn't I kind of saw he was repeating lines he heard from somewhere. I wonder?

Fox is nothing but right wing propaganda to brainwash the fools. Anyone with at least a couple functioning braincells knows fox is full of crap, but unfortunately there are so many ignorant and gullible people out there that will believe anything they are told.

Desperate lying is all OP and the Left can cling to.:

Canada
In 2003, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) rejected a Canadian Cable Telecommunications Association (CCTA) application to bring Fox News to Canada because Fox News U.S. and Global Television were planning to create Fox News Canada, a combination of U.S. and Canadian news. However in 2004, after a Fox U.S. executive said there were no plans to create the combined channel, the CRTC approved an application to bring Fox News to Canada.[80]
Fox News Channel is currently offered by Access Communications, Bell TV, Cogeco, Eastlink, Manitoba Telecom Services, Rogers, SaskTel, Shaw Cable, Shaw Direct and Telus TV. '

Because the law in Canada forbids lying. It's such a shame on how they cowar behind the 1st amendment to spew their false bullshit.

While I am sympathetic to the desire for a media that does not overtly LIE, (and I am convinced that most media is at best propaganda) I fear that crafting such a law leads to a social disease worse than the media disease it seeks to heal.

I do NOT want our GOVERNMENT deciding what the TRUTH is, thank you very much.

Giving the government the RIGHT to mediate the media puts on directly into 1984LAND.

Fox News: Until 2004, the CRTC's apparent reluctance to grant a digital licence to Fox News under the same policy which made it difficult for RAI to enter the country - same-genre competition from foreign services - had angered many conservative Canadians, who believed the network was deliberately being kept out due to its perceived conservative bias, particularly given the long-standing availability of services such as CNN and BBC World in Canada.

On November 18, 2004, however, the CRTC approved an application by cable companies to offer Fox News on the digital cable tier. Fox commenced broadcasting in Canada shortly thereafter.

heres an article from 2011

Fox News' Lies Keep Them Out of Canada

You know what is missing from the article and what is always missing from the discussion, is the examples of lying. Considering what ABC and CBS has done recently Fox should get considered a saint. If they were lying they would not be the most popular news outlet, by far. There is some lying going on and it is being done north of the border. Down here we have gotten used to the left and their BS up north I guess they carter to it.

So you ran into some nut big deal. What in the hell is wrong with the liberal left all they do is lie and pretend to be better then everyone else? The lies about Palin last election is all I need to know. Now the liberal left is going through Romney's records like they never did Obama's and when nothing is found lies will do. I don't even mind the liberal left blaming people for lying even though evidence is never presented. It is the self-righteousness in which they do it that is annoying.

 

[tinydancer]

I heard that Fox News can now broadcast into Canada, but it can't set up shop there.

Correct. American fox news is allowed because they lie about american politics. They are forbidden to set up a canadian version unless they stop lying.

Fox went as far as trying to change federal law to allow them to lie which was unsuccessful.

In the end they were left with two options. A) stop lying B) not create a network at all. Fox chose B) which really goes to show what a steaming piece of shit that network is.

If you had read thru the thread you would have noticed that I caught out the OP lying about Fox News not allowed in Canada because they lie.



Consequently you wouldn't have looked so idiotic with your lie in this post.

Here ya go sparky.

Progressives cannot tolerate dissenting opinion

They let WABC "Hanson was a Tea Party Guy" broadcast in Canada?

 

[zeke]

I think that here in the USA, that media outlets should be allowed to make up stories. Lie about events that have already happened. And pretend that events that should take place, have taken place.

What is wrong with helping Americnans expand their lives with lies, distortions and falsehoods. Also innuendo. And balantant racism and hatred.

It is what we deserve. The above is what our people in CON gress do. And we elected them to do just that. Evidently.

As they say, yo get the type of government you elect and you get the type of media you support.

But it sure is funny that Canada does not accept FOX as a legitimate news organization.

Damn Canadias with their health care and factual content laws. No wonder no one ever visits them.

BBC lies all the time. They are the most biased media source in the world other than communist or Muslim.

I just returned from about 6 months in the Northern Canadian woods and they have FOX news up there, This whole thread is a lie, which is typical of the hypocritical progressive I suppose.

Maybe I will need to move to Canada!

America’s middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades – against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News – fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of the Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canadian regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada’s right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.

They would have to change the law to let FOX news be broadcast. Sounds like a good law. Hey Congress – here is a law you can pass!

Canada’s Radio Act requires that “a licenser may not broadcast … any false or misleading news.” The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the “Fairness Doctrine” in 1987.

We do need better news. Too bad it is legal to lie in the USA.

Harper’s attempts to make lying legal on Canadian television are a stark admission that right-wing political ideology can only dominate national debate through dishonest propaganda. Since corporate profit-taking is not an attractive vessel for populism, a political party or broadcast network that makes itself the tool of corporate and financial elites must lie to make its agenda popular with the public. In the Unites States, Fox News and talk radio, the sock puppets of billionaires and corporate robber barons, have become the masters of propaganda and distortion on the public airwaves. Fox News’ notoriously biased and dishonest coverage of the Wisconsin’s protests is a prime example of the brand of news coverage Canada has smartly avoided.

Get a clue instead of making yourself look like a moron by quoting Wikipedia. American fox news is allowed. A Canadian version of the show is not, because Canadian law does not allow deliberately spreading lies like fox makes it's living off of.

This a typical idiot thread. The truth is sub human socialist scum and hate free speech especially when its about personal responsibility. That's why Ann Coulter had to cancel a speech in Canada the punks were unruly and violent. Just shows me besides Islamic sub humans socialists are next on the lower class list for humans. Fact
