I've watched 'em all, CNN for years, Fox is better. But I do agree with your point. Well, sorta. Not in that what I choose to watch supports propagandists but rather making only one viewpoint available is very similar to what the Nazi's or any other dictatorial government does. Letting your government decide what news is politically acceptable is far along that path.

When you say there is only one view point available since there is no Fox News then does that mean that all the other dozens of news channels(including many fox affiliates) present one viewpoint..and fox news presents another?

Do you really believe that there is a valid-constuctive-insightful news viewpoint that you can only get through fox 24hr news?
Do you think the hate that people on that channel direct at my country is worthwhile for the people of canada to see?

I myself am pissed that we cant get NFL sunday ticket on satelite. Fox News has done such ireparable damage to the reasoning power of idiots in america I would just as soon spare idiots in canada the pain. The intellectually challanged are so suspetable to the chants of hate and fear..we really do have to look out for them.

Now. My expectation is that you will ignore my first paragraph that tears your logic to shreads and pick some sentence out of the rest to be outraged about.

A-shreckin'-men to that.

But I have higher expectations. A Canadian produced version of Fox news would probably last all of 2 days before everyone here started shakin' their heads and sayin' wtf IS this cheese and just who do they think they're tryin' to kid?

Hate for Canada on Fox News? Hardly. The hate seems to be toward the US and based on the polls cited, much of it coming from Canada. And you would know all about Fox News how?

Tell me that the polls citing about half of Canadian teens believe the US to be evil are false. Please.

In all truthfullness.......I don't think we get clean information from anyone in any media.  Be it written or broadcast.  We can put a label on any Newspaper or News Channel....and that would depend on your political view......or even on how you felt that day.

As Sargent Friday would say.."just the facts M'am"....that would be good enough for me.  

I don't like allowing someone to influence the thinking of my feeble mind.  I'd rather make my own decisions.

My view on how News should be reported as follows...

In Atlanta today.....Mr. Conrad Frizzel was awakened by the frantic barking of his dog JoJo in the early morning hours.  His Apartment Building was on fire. Visibility was non existant and he crawled following his dog....who led him to an elevator ..... he fell 8 floors to his death.

As I said....just the facts M'am.

Oui, ca marche aussi en anglais :)

My friends from France used the expression in french, and my english friends use it in english. What was odd was that we were all "ingenieur en optique" so it made us losers.
