Canada gets its own "Fox News" type channel

[Hauldren Collider]

While I admit I do not really pay much attention to this stuff, and I only watch Fox occasionally, I find myself a bit skeptical of all of this. Common sense would seem to dictate that if it actually did really suck then it wouldn't be the most watched news source (it is, in fact, the most watched news source in the US).

How can you be skeptical about it? It's all over the web. They repeatedly issue apologies about the "mistakes" when called on it.

It's why Fox News is a running joke.

{conspiracy theory} you all just hate on Fox because of Firefly being canceled {/conspiracy theory}

Look, I don't know. I've never run across it Their local news certainly is perfectly fine, at any rate. at least around here.

The washington post always has a "mistakes" section in every paper where they apologize for their screwups. Isn't that sort of standard?

Mistakes are not unheard of and are fine. But Fox News' "mistakes" can only be deliberate, and they ALWAYS end up being "mistakes" in being pro-GOP and anti-democrat. ALWAYS.

I've lost count of how many times they put "D - (state)" underneath the name of a disgraced republican senator/congressman.

If you say so. WSJ is a much better news outlet anyway, and I find its relatively conservative tilt a refreshing break from CNN and the new york times.

That's because you're a kid.

[Asher]

If you say so

So I have said, so it is done.

[Wezil]

Look, it's Sun Media. What'd I tell you, Wezil.

Are you implying I didn't know they were right wing or are you proud you were able to identify them as such?


Are you a Liberal because the Toronto Star is your primary source?

[Asher]

The Toronto Star is my primary source of amusement.

The Globe & Mail is my news source.

[Wezil]

The Sun papers are tabloid trash. They're toxic, not beneficial to the press.

We already have a right-wing paper (National Post) which is still mostly respectable.

But the Post doesn't carry "Weird News".

I need my daily fix Asher.

Btw, The guy heading this up just left the PMO so he could do it. He's more to your liking than mine.

[Asher]

I don't like Harper or the Tories, I just hate them less than Ignatieff or Layton and their cronies.

No, you're an idiot who can't read. I said none of those things. You say that Chicago represents the US one day and is exceptional the next. This is because all you know about is corruption in Chicago and I doubt you know that much, because facts and examples are always absent from your posts.

You have no idea the corruption in China. It makes how you describe Chicago a paradise. That you think China and the US are equal in corruption and that you think Fox news isn't more biased than other major news networks on TV in the US only demonstrates your ignorance and stupidity again.

Maybe someday you'll be capable of having an honest debate, but I won't hold my breath. But for review.

If you read what I actually wrote. I agreed that Fox was more biased. I didn't say that China wasn't more corrupt. I said an arguement could be made that they weren't so far apart so maybe that wasn't the best example. You said I was wrong without any facts. At least I mentioned some Governors getting convicted and that idictments were at an all time high. Maybe someday you'll have a more open mind instead of just calling anyone that disagrees with you and idiot.

Post some facts that we can discuss.

[Heraclitus]

No, you can be. The problem is they are intentionally and admittedly objecting "opinion" into their "news pieces", which causes them to cease being journalists.

Like the New York Times?
