Oh, and I should have added, so far, no one has been able to give a sample of bias. And he's been making the offer for at least two years, as far as I know.

If the same offer was given on CNN, within a few hours I'd be a few thousand dollars richer.

Maybe if you've been living under a rock for the last 3 years. Otherwise it's just tiresome.

Starchoice satellite also has it listed on channel 503. BellExpressVU most likely will not be carrying Fox News since they own CTV Newsnet Channel which they hope will compete against Fox.

I was in Vancouver on business the last few days. From what I saw of TV as she is played today, I'm not missing a thing. ;^)

I wish Fox would do some advertising in Canada. People don't even know that we have it.

Good idea.

Especially since most carriers are offering a free preview of it.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It's certainly full of tedious self-absorbed PC preachiness.

When FOX started the media elite laughed at the concept. The
local NYC cable company refused to air it until Mayor Guiliani intervened.
They will do well in Canada as they are offering a unique product with no competition

If Fox replaced Bill O'Reilly with Don Cherry, they'd be #1 in the Great White North. Heck, they'd gain some folks Stateside, too.

I used to listen to Radio Canada (CBC on shortwave) until they changed the schedule.

Before the last Canadian election, the CBC talking heads said that voting for the conservative candidate
would mean cuts at the CBC. In other words, something they do every election.

I remember Limbaugh mentioning that EIB had negotiations with the CBC to carry him, but talks
broke down because the CBC wanted a portion of the non-Canadian revenue.

"that's already divided the country into red and blue"

The red and blue states are just color codes to show how each state voted. It has nothing to do with FOX dividing the country. These people are a joke.

Most of my family are left-wingers, they vote for the Democrat no matter what! I'm a right-winger and run a right-wing website. We still love each other and our neighbors.

Friends, neighbors and countrymen come before politics. I don't care what the media tries to make us believe, FRIENDS, FAMILY, GOD, NEIGHBORS, COUNTRYMEN AND EVEN STRANGERS come before politics. Love thy neighbor.

"There are several interviews with media personalities and analysts, including sit-downs with liberal rascal Al Franken and conservative viper Ann Coulter"

Actually, I'm not sure viper is all that pejorative when applied to Coulter. In fairness, they should not refer to Franken as a rascal when adjectives like scoundrel, hypocrite, or numbskull are available.

Don't be too hard on him, He probably intended that to read "Conservative Vixen (fox), Ann Coulter."

How dare you right-wingers attack the Star, the CBC and other moderates for raising questions about FNCs objectivity?

heh heh. After she told him the war in Iraq was going "magnificently" he did get a little bit bent out of shape. She didn't take it back.

The National Socialists who run Canada from their hallowed halls in Ottawa fear, they FEAR Fox News because the common people are now getting new that isn't filtered by liberal hacks.

Can't have those Newfies and the lesser classes in Alberta, Saskatchawan, and Manitoba getting all stirred up with dangerous ideas about less government, *individual rights*, and other such rubbish.
