Fox News And Porn? Cable Company: Can't Have One Without The Other

First, the Liberal Party-led Canadian government worked tirelessly to ensure the American FOX News Channel remained banned from the country's cable systems, for as long as possible.

At one time, there were even plans for a FOX News Canada channel (WOW what a great idea), but they were scrapped in 2003 by News Corporation.

Excerpt from article:

Now, just when you might think the last chapter had been written on this frustrating tale of Canadian government censorship, a new reality emerges: that several months later, it isn't exactly easy to sign up for the channel, especially from one Ontario cable company.

Ontario Tory political activist and blogger Brent Colbert, who has been an important background source for the Radio Equalizer's Canadian coverage, reports on a disturbing situation he encountered when signing up for a channel package with Cogeco Cable.

Colbert says he signed up for a plan which included the FOX News Channel as an a la carte selection, because it doesn't appear in the company's basic lineups. At the storefront location, he was assured he could add FOX News to his order in this way.

Then, Colbert got a surprise:

Later that day, I got a message from the CSR that Fox News was not available as a stand alone option, but had to be purchased as part of a package which includes SEXTV.

If they wish to bundle adult themed programming in a package, that’s fine, but why would Fox News be paired up with a network that shows soft-core pornography?
