There are alot of Canadians that have been waiting for this for a long time....the liberal french canadians will love it I'm sure.

So there are two sides to the story then Toad.
Fox news and the rest of the world?

if a channel heaped such hate on the US as Fox heaps on Canada would you endorse it being available in the US.
of course you would not. You would endorse waging war on the country of broadcast.


Far more important is that we can get the NFL network now.

Fox heaps hate on Canada? I watch Fox News almost daily and I think you are mistaking O'Reilly's views of France as Fox's view on Canada. How often do you watch Fox News?

Did I say that? Actually, there's usually AT LEAST two sides to every story. Hasn't that been your experience as well?

Show me where I said Fox is "always right" or even "fair and balanced" please.

What I said was

Quote
Any news that is even a quarter of an inch to the right of Dan Rather's CBS is considered "far right" by people who still don't understand why Kerry lost.


which does not deal with directly with Fox or any other news service other than CBS at all.

I probably watch about 5 different news sources in the course of a day for varying amounts of time. Fox gets no more and no less of my time than any other source.

I really haven't seen Fox demonstrate "hate" of Canada at all. Perhpas you could link something?

And if there were a situation such as you describe, I'd probably support such a station being available. I read Al-Jazeera right now at various times; I think it's pretty basic that you need to read opposing sources to examine all facets of an issue. Don't you?

As for "waging war"......... what's got into YOU lately? Yah.. right... the US would attack a country that broadcast people saying nasty things about us. Very rational observation there, Pongo.

FNC is the extreme right?


I wouldnt say it is "extreme" right. unless your on the extreme left.

It does hoever lean more to the right.
But the other stations lean more to the left. But no station leans farther to the left then CNN

During the Elections I found MSNBC to be the most balanced of any of them

Rude..

blah blah blah..
here is what you said.

"Now instead of the CBC and Al Jazeera giving Canadians their news, perhaps some of you folks might hear the truth...unless you fear it.
"
I would understand if you forgot saying it..except that all you have to do is read the first post of this thread where you recorded your true feelings for prosperity.

The "truth" is only at Fox. All the rest is "lies"

do you even understand what you write?


Why should I bother digging through your old posts to rub your befuddled brainwashed noggin through what you actually say when you cant even remember what you said in this thread..that you started this very day?


Now you are saying that Fox has never portrayed hate to Canada and canadians...are you on drugs?

Pongo, you've been asked twice to support your claim that Fox spouts hate for Canada. Where is your evidence or where did you get this idea?



Is this the kind of hate you're talking about?

Help me out here, Vort.

Here's my ENTIRE post. Would you highlight where I used the words "the truth" for me?

Thanks in advance.

There's one guy that may have "gotten it" though.

This quote is from John Edwards and is on the second page of today's KC Star:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We can't be a party of elites and intellectuals. People have to believe we're on their side...People have this instinctive radar for that. They know whether you respect them. They know whether you respect their way of life."

The Best shows on Fox I think are Brit Hume, and the beltway boys.

The Financial show "Your world" isnt too bad either
Even if you arent into following the market the fan/hate mail is usually pretty entertaining in itself



O'riley I can only take in small doses. he's the type where one day or on one subject he may be spot on, and others you just wanna hit him in the head with a  sledge hammar

Hannity and Colmes are the two largest morons ever to have a camera pointed at them. I keep wondering what special Ed class is missing two students
