hey, pgh, you have not disproved this post. I stand by what I posted and have provided citations that support that FACT.

NewsCorp's SunTV application was rejected, exactly what I said.

Try reading what was written and not what you think was written next time.

I can't believe I am posting twice in the dumbest ever thread but here it goes. Those who claim Fox was banned from Canada are not telling the truth.

The Daily Advance

Ironically, the Saturday Daily Advance (column by Bud Wright) calling some journalists liars was itself based on a lie. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) did refuse to give Fox News a permit in 2003, but the reason was that they planned a new “Fox News Canada” channel and had nothing to do with fairness. The following year, Fox News dropped the plan for a new channel so the CRTC reversed its decision, and now the Fox News Channel is available on most Canadian cable systems."

You're wrong Fox radio was rejected. Unless you don't know talk radio is opinion based. I am shocked you are not outraged about opinion being banned. Truly despicable in a so called democracy.

Will you stop with that inaccurate and wrong claim. It was a local Fox station, not the Fox News Channel.

Hidden behind a sliver of truth, your post is completely bias.

Quote: "If viewers spent an equal amount of time watching Fox's 'Special Report' as ABC's 'World News' and NBC's 'Nightly News,' then they would receive a nearly perfectly balanced version of the news," said Milyo, an associate professor of economics and public affairs at the University of Missouri at Columbia. -end

Now tell me why FOX is such a threat! I don't even see how they could act as a counterbalance to all the left hacks out there. Can you name this many high profile right biased outlets?

We get spin from both sides, but far far more from the left. Just like any other habitual liar, they've perfected spinning the opposite of the truth because they don't want to lose a single micro percentage of market share. It's all about the money and the left has every liberal hating FOX, exactly like they planned.

is MSNBC or CNN? When NPR fired Juan Williams who hired him? Who gives the right time like FOX does the left? On any given day you'll see more liberals wasting breath on FOX than you'll see from rightminded guests in a week on any mainscream broadcast. I give equal watch time to all of them and can safely say that FOX crushes the scales if you compare.
