Author Topic: Is it true that Fox News is not allowed in Canada? (Read 1979 times)

I dunno what Canada's version of Fox news would actually look like. "Loath, please?" perhaps.

But, here's Mexico's version. They must have hired some Fox producers to get it off the ground with that distinctive flair only Fox can provide.

Aaaaghhhhh

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?

Akiron, My question for you is: Do you really believe that many Canadians hate America? Do you believe that many Europeans if not most hate America? Do you think most people in western democracies hate America. If so why do you believe that. Does Fox news tell you that?

Based on the stuff written by Bill O'Reilly you might be inclined to think that. His spin on things is so wildly biased, he has no credibility.

If you even begin to believe and see the world or America the way Foxnews sees it. Then you are badly misled.

I'd like to think that Canadians believe Americans to be much like themselves. However, this poll would seem to indicate otherwise: http://www.torontofreepress.com/2004/weinreb063004.htm

Is this a reliable source? If so I hope your not surprised by the results. They join the club with the rest of the world.

"What is significant is the high number of teens who used the word "evil" to describe our southern neighbour."

gee... I wonder how that word got so firmly planted into popular lexicon.

Speaking of Canadians and "evil"... Did you know it was a Canadian that came up with and wrote "Axis of Evil" for Bush's SOTU speech? Bush sure took that ball and damn if he didn't start running with it for all it's worth. Suprised a few people, no doubt.

I am surprised by the results. I didn't think that Canada had succumbed to such hateful anti-American propaganda and I hope the poll isn't accurate. Still, I ask the question, why censor a News channel that I will admit leans toward portraying America in a favorable light if not to further anti-American sentiment?

It's not censorship. It's quality control.

A lil off-topic but here what Americans said about declining tourist from the US. Sad part is Canada is a nice place to go but I wouldn't go back if I was treated like that.

Quality control? I'm sure you're joking. The number one news channel in the US and you guys don't feel deprived? Oh well, at least you'll have Al Jazeera.

Whoops forgot the link. Apparently the polls are right. Canadians dislike America and its people.

Of course another way to look at the polls is from the flip side. How ****ed up is current American policy that 40% of Canada teens think the US is evil.

This isn't an issue about Canada though, polls taken from all over the world are showing this general trend. The issue is current US policy.

Jayclark · « **Reply #89 on:** July 17, 2004, 12:39:45 PM »

I agree our policy is ****ed up but does that give a right to treat Americans badly just because idiots in the White House can't seem to find there way out of a paper bag?
