As America's middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades -- against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News -- fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all!

I saw that. I laughed. I wish we had a law that outlawed false or misleading news. Instead, we have Faux News fighting to ALLOW lying to be broadcast as news. Sad state of affairs here when we allow a propaganda network to operate as a "news organization."

" The provision has kept Fox News and right wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom.

I would have been laughing if it was any American "news" network excluding perhaps NPR as I haven't them lie about anything. As far as TV goes, if you don't want to be lied to it's either PBS or the BBC.

Isn't lying like Fox News did about Ron Paul in the straw poll considered libel, so technically it was against the law?

I was alluding to the Dan Blather incident......but the point is, Fox isn't alone.

News networks are like breakfast cereals. No matter how healthy they claim to be, you need to find nutrition elsewhere. They all have some sugar added.

Because one significant mistake by CBS is the same as essentially being a propaganda network based on lies? I think not...

I'd support it for any network that chooses to call themselves a news network. Want to be full of opinion hosts? Well, then you can't call yourself news.
