Why? Because it openly gives a voice to conservative commentators rather than the Lib-Left establishment. And, naturally, the thought-control police of the Jean Chretien/Paul Martin regimes can't tolerate anything that doesn't walk the official Lib-Left line.

I'll never forget the day Murdoch announced he was creating a new 24 cable news station to compete with CNN. The MSM laughed. They're not laughing today.

I still shudder at the thought that the USA has become so socialistic that a liberal like Geraldo Rivera would be thought of as a "conservative" ?!!?

Bump for Mr. Jackson and I hope; by association, many like-minded Candadiens.

Now Greta and Geraldo is a longer story; but nonetheless - despite Geraldo's insufferable and idiotic case of 'Michael-Molester Blindness' - I am glad that both he and Greta make their home at Fox News. . .

The liberals have started referring to Murdoch's network as "Faux News." That's rather clever. Of course, the most brilliant and effective such one-liner ever crafted was our very own "Sore Loserman." Such sloganeering can actually have quite significant effects.

oops! 'Candadiens' - reads better as Canadians. . .(Candadiens are extra-terrestrial - though more than few now live in Canada)

One cannot rave about Fox News without mentioning Brit Hume. Simply the best they have on a number of fronts. Fair, smart, funny, honest and no-nonsense. If not for the enormous news competition he has; locals at 6pm and all the networks hitting him at 6:30pm, his numbers would dwarf B.O..

My personal ratings...

O'Reilly = 3 (Disrespectful towards Swiftees)

Sean Hannity = 7 (Buy my book!)

Rita Cosby = 8 (If I can ever get over her strange voice I tend to like her)

Geraldo Rivera = 2 (You can take the liberal scumwad out of the sewer...)

Greta Van Susteren = 5 (She's gets obsessed with things that should be better left to the local news)

Col. Oliver North = 10+ (Col North has a perpetual invitation to my home, and I will watch him over anyone else on any news network, including FOX.)

O Canada! A country that can't tolerate a diversity of opinion is a country in a sorry shape indeed. Fox News does have liberal journalists, commentators, show personalities and guests - but its not 100% Liberal like on CBC and the Liberal Party's other organs. It would give Canadians a balanced view of the issues of the day. And as Denny Crane says, girly men can't take the heat. Yeah really and neither can Canada's Liberal mouthpieces.

(Denny Crane: There are two places to find the truth. First God and then Fox News.")

Great line, gotta remember it.

As an aside, the only Democratic senator who is talking sense these days is Joseph Lieberman.

And Zell Miller.

"A top-notch fellow"? You've got to be kidding me. Lieberman is a whore. Any credibility he had was lost forever during the 2000 campaign. He went from being a fairly centrist, decent person to being a shrieking liberal harpy all so he could attempt for a VP slot.
