No one wants to carry al Jazeera. I can't see the average Canadian wanting it either.

Canada's a big country. These two companies are based in Alberta and that says a lot.

CRTC took the unusual step of putting a condition to authorizing the broadcasting of the Al Jazeera feed, which condition has never been applied to any other network or station.

A cable or satellite provider that supplies Al Jazeera must do so with a delay in transmission and muust monitor the feed to remove abusive content, (Similar to what is now happening to broadcasts of football games in the US since the Janet Jackson mid-time fiasco.)

This would convert the cable or dish provider into a censor, which none of them are willing to become,

So all of them have declined to provide Al Jazeera.

At the time that Al Jazeera was authorized, Fox's application was already on the board and submissions respecting it were already being received.

I don't watch BOR, but Brit Hume welcomed the Canadian broadcast on his show, which is broadcast about two hours before BOR.

Why would Canadians want to watch the NFL - AKA - the dullest game on earth?

Rachel Marsden is not particularly liked very much by us FDers/Canadian conservatives because she is a convicted serial stalker. She stalked one of our MPs.

O'Reilly just announced that next up will be a swift boat vet to tell how he has been punished by Kerry since coming forward.

"I don't think anyone could forgive him after he had that love session with Rather."

I had hope for Oh Really when he asked Dan Blather about Juanita Broderick.

Dan Blather said "That was a personal sex life".
Oh Really didn't say anything else about Juanita.
I take it that both Dan and Bill think rape should only be a mans personal sex life.

Last time I watched this POS.
