I spend alot of time in the US and have watched Fox News many, many times. The truth (that you won't hear in the media) is that Global and the CCTA have been pounding away at the CRTC because of thousands of letters demanding the Fox News Channel. In addition, since the announcment of the approval, Rogers, Bell ExpressVu, etc... have been bombarded with requests to order the channel. The CBC (Canadian Brainwashing Channel) have already put in a request for an additional $100 million of taxpayer funds in an attempt to improve their pathetic broadcasts, knowing that they don't stand a chance when Fox arrives. The best part about this whole media smear job of Fox is in the end, more of the public will want the channel just to see what all the fuss is about. In effect, it's free promotional press for Fox, which suits me just fine.

No kidding. I can't imagine that the Canadian people will stand for being kept dumb for their own good. The people are able to make their own decisions and they will. The longer it takes for the government to give in and let the people see the other side, the stronger the backlash will be.
