FOX News BANNED In Canada (mod note: not entirely true)

I don't know much about Canadian politics, but do they not have the right to free speech up there?
 
Yes, because CNN and MSNBC never air deceptive propaganda....

Kind of a slippery slope when the government can exhibit random censorship.
 
GOOD

I wish it was banned in America. The existence of Fox News has set back the cause of real conservatism at least 30 years.
 
Did you even read the article? The editor retracted the authors headline in the update. More liberal lies from Ron Paul Forums. How charming.

Fox News is not banned in Canada. Fox is a standard channel offered by many cable companies, available on-Air from broadcasters transmitted from the states to many Canadians, and of course available on satellite or internet delivery. However, Fox just isn't as popular in Canada as other US stations (CBS, ABC, CNN, etc.) merely because it has a lot of US sports content not terribly appealing to Canadians. Finally, course few Canadians watch any US new (let alone news channels) simply because their stories aren't as meaningful to Canadians. So many Canadian cable companies don't carry Fox News (or CNN) -- you get CTV News or BBC World News.

The law referenced only applies to Canadian broadcasters using Canadian airwaves. Basically, it was put in place to ban the CBC (government subsidized) and Canadian broadcasters (using Canadian frequencies) from political ads, infomercials, phony health shows, etc. designed to look like news but selling stuff. Talk shows and discussion groups are not considered news programs. So... this law only affects the CBC and those broadcasting over regular air waves -- it does not affect any US station (they don't broadcast over Canadian air waves), nor any satellite, cable, or internet delivery -- i.e. about 95% of broadcasting is exempt.

At least she admits that all the corporate media lies. "I am the only one posting here as of roughly seven months ago and I insofar as I believe propaganda spread by Fox and the U.S. corporate media is literally a threat to our democracy, I take facts and accuracy dead seriously and I apologize that the flaws in this post weren’t corrected immediately." Srsly, if every news outlet that puts out propaganda and misleading/false information were banned, there wouldn't be much media at all! :D ;) The corporate media is a dying breed anyway. Let it die a relatively painless death.
 
Look, there's another one.
What? 1) what I said is true. We have mostly lies from cnoservatives here, as this is a conservative-ish leaning site. (I didn't say that all conservatives here lie, or that all lies come from conservatives) 2) I'm not liberal (in the modern sense of the word)

You fail. Try again.

Not good. The government should never be involved in shutting down free speech. As bad as Fox, CNN, and the rest are...they at least ALLOW people like Ron Paul on. A government run media outlet would just simply not cover him.
 
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a US and very special interest puppet.

Glad they associated him to corporate borg FOX NEWS/NEWSCORP and the propaganda/indoctrination airwaves.

Now let's see if the Liberal/socialist corporate media will be banned when a aprogressive is prime minister in Canada.

Who decides what is deceptive or misleading? I don't like this at all. Very Orwellian.
