The only ones who loathe Fox News more than CNN founder Ted Turner does are the stuffed shirts at the state-controlled Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
While Turner’s loathing of Fox may find its roots somewhere in dementia, CBC’s loathing of Fox is based on nothing but fear. It’s the kind of fear that comes from imagining the droves of Canadians likely to flock to Fox when it’s fully available.
Even though Canadian taxpayers have paid CBC’s freight to the tune of nearly a billion dollars, countless studies document that they don’t watch the left-leaning network.
Marching for as long as anyone can remember to the same old socialist tune, the CBC is out of touch and out of synch.
Turner compared Fox News to Hitler during the week of the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz. Lying low in the reeds, CBC is getting ready to spring a stealth attack.
Frantically working on a Michael Moore-type documentary about the invasion of Canada by Fox News, CBC is sharpening the knives. Comically, Fox News is not even in direct competition with uptight CBC Television.
Fox News has something that the CBC doesn’t: balance. . . . .

BINGO!
Are we sure the Ted Turner hasn't taken over the CBC?
Wouldn't it be interesting ifthe Canadians were to perform a radical surgery, and dismantle CBC?
I imagine that the biggest supporters of CBC are to be found in our PBS. If FoxNews creates a radical backlash against CBC (oooops... almost wrote "CBS"...) then what might we be able to accomplish with such a precedent in our own country?
Well, gotta go. In thinking about the possibilities I'm afraid that I've begun to evidence that particular physical phenomenon that we've been warned about in the television commercials:
"Should you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours, report immediately to the nearest emergency clinic."
Anytime a liberal compares anything conservative to Hitler or the Third Reich, they not only expose themselves as the asses they are...they totally demean and marginalize all those who suffered under Hitler.
You would think with that in mind, there would be an outcry (hello ADL) against those liberals who continue to marginalize this brutallity by comparing it to another political party that is technically, the antithesis of Facism.
Yup...fear that brainwashed Canadians will hear some fair reporting, fear that they will actually start to think for themselves rather than walk around with their eyes glossed over repeating every little anti-American soundbite that has been drummed into them.
Socialists will fight hard and dirty to maintain control of the thoughts of the masses.
That's why most of us freepers think the original meaning of CBC was: Communist Broadcasting Corporation
You are probably right! I thought the first C just stood for "crappy", but I like yours better.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
Fox News needs to do to the CBC in Toronto what they did to CNN in Atlanta - post a huge bill board across the street advertising Fox News and take the occasional snipe at and misfortunes the CBC experiences. Every CBC employee will be LIVID and won't be able to concentrate on their jobs!
