Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast ... any false or misleading news." 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. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the "Fairness Doctrine" in 1987. Political dialogue in Canada is marked by civility, modesty, honesty, collegiality, and idealism that have pretty much disappeared on the US airwaves.

Is this some kind of joke, or satire?

This makes no sense either... we have several friends who live in the Montreal, Quebec area. They've been enjoying the Fox News Channel for several years. How can Robert F. Kennedy Jr state that "Fox News has been kept out of Canada"?

I think what the idiot is referring to is that Fox wanted to set up a Canadian version in Canada. The US version is of course available now although for quite a while it wasn’t. There are Canadian news channels already and a new one by the relatively conservative Toronto Sun paper group has run into flak from the usual suspects but will likely begin at some point. There is no CNN or MSNBC Canuck version btw.

"How can Robert F. Kennedy Jr state that "Fox News has been kept out of Canada"? "

Simple... he's delusional, like every other guilt-ridden-whiney-@ssed-bedwetter
