Hmmm, why don't we let the free market decide who is right? We all believe in freedom, right? So what is the Canadian media establishment so scared of? (Answer: someone might have a different opinion than they).
Ironically enough, with all the press they're giving Fox more viewers are going to tune in to see what all the fuss is about. After all, there's no such thing as bad press.
What you're not being told is that at the end of the Fifth Estate broadcast they gave information on how to subscribe to FOX . Fear of FOX ???
Hmmm, why don't we let the free market decide who is right?
The FCC has explicit mandate for control of broadcasting in the USA and reports to Congress . CRTC does the same job in Canada and reports to Parliament . The air waves are not free and are regulated . The use of the word banned by some posters here is insulting to the intelligence of the readers of FR . An out right distortion , if not lie . FOX and CanWest Global had approval in 2000 , with Canadian restrictions and chose not to broadcast . That was their decision based on economics . This stuff costs money and return on investment happens to be of some importance . Contrary to what some think . Ultimately the market place will decide, but it isn't a free market .
