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

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.
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.

Fox News' Lies Keep Them Out of Canada

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.

Americas 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 Canadas 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!
Canadas 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.
Harpers 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 Wisconsins protests is a prime example of the brand of news coverage Canada has smartly avoided.

Fox News Has a First Amendment Right to Lie - Updated < Library Grape
fox news has a constitutional right to lie, after being taken to court on it.

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.

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