What you're not being told is that at the end of the Fifth Estate broadcast they gave information on how to subscribe to FOX . Fear of FOX ???
Hmmm, why don't we let the free market decide who is right?
The FCC has explicit mandate for control of broadcasting in the USA and reports to Congress . CRTC does the same job in Canada and reports to Parliament . The air waves are not free and are regulated . The use of the word banned by some posters here is insulting to the intelligence of the readers of FR . An out right distortion , if not lie . FOX and CanWest Global had approval in 2000 , with Canadian restrictions and chose not to broadcast . That was their decision based on economics . This stuff costs money and return on investment happens to be of some importance . Contrary to what some think . Ultimately the market place will decide, but it isn't a free market .
"CRTC does the same job in Canada and reports to Parliament."
I fully understand how things work both north and south of the border. I also understand, given the many Canadian government scandles of late, that a million Canadian here and a million Canadian there pretty much gets the result you want out of the Canadian (liberal)government.
Running a hit piece and then telling how to subscribe is not fair reporting. Please note that I never used the word "banned" in any of my posts, but understand completely how beaurucrats "ban" things they don't like via regulation, review, and the "process". I am also glad to see you admit that the Canadian market is not free. I look forward to the day when it is more free.
We do agree that ultimately, the market will decide.
