Sun News Network rises today (Conservative News in Canada)
London Free Press ^ | Apr. 18, 2011

Posted on 04/19/2011 7:44:51 AM PDT by nuconvert

There is a new Sun rising and you’ve never seen anything like it.

Sun News Network hits the television airways Monday at 4:30 p.m. from coast to coast.

Sun newspapers have risen in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg and today they’ll be joined by Sun News.

Sun Media is the largest newspaper chain in Canada and Sun News plans to capitalize on that.

“We are proud of what we have accomplished and can’t wait to see the results. We want people to watch and see our product for themselves,” says Luc Lavoie, the network spokesman.

“The pace will be different from what people are used to seeing in Canada. It will be personality-driven, prime-time programming. It will be less politically correct and we will focus on what people are talking about around the water cooler or at the dinner table.”

The style of TV news in Canada hasn’t changed in 35 years, until now, Lavoie says.

“They all cover the same stories, take the same position and have the same style of news. It is time for something different,” he says.

“I respect the competition, but we are offering something different. The top gun is not the CBC. People don’t watch them — they watch CNN.”

Geeze Max, it would be nice if you made sense.

Please reread your post. Then, if you can talk in a civilized manner, please reply.

You call Ontario a State, and a metropolitan city, and go on to say that Ontario is jealous of Detroit???

Then you say
“Like I have explained more than countless time on FR, I helped Harper win in BC as part of the strategy staff that polled every city outside of the BC Inland, including Manitoba and Sask.”

‘strategy staff ’
Hmmm, that stinks of ‘paid worker’.

Most of us ‘worked’ for Harper and the conservatives on our own time, and at our own expense. Many of us also worked for the Canadian Alliance. Did you?

So, as part of the strategy staff in BC, what are you doing to fight this downward trend?

You originally posted this at #3:
“It should draw viewers in the Atlantic provinces and Alberta but inland BC and ON, is questionable.”

Wrong. Sun TV will do better in rural Ontario than Atlantic Canada.

Oh, and my Blow Hard Detector doesn't use tinfoil.

Now before we begin, why are you always including canuck conservative and everyone in this personal squabble with me?

If you really had the gall, just post me personally and ONLY ME...don’t include every kanadian on FR in Your personal vendetta, shall we?

OR

shall we include the magnificent post where you CRIED/COMPLAINED to Jim Robinson via CC that you complained about me calling canada Kanadastan a year ago? AND HE IGNORED YOU? ;)

Canuck conservative pinged me to this thread. Kanawa and Snowyman replied to my post.

I simply included them in the conversation. Since I've mentioned them again, I'll ping them again.

2 to 3 years ago, I ‘reported’ you to Jim because I saw you as a mouth piece who constantly insulted Canada, Conservative Canadians, and on a personal level, myself.

Not exactly the type of person I expect to have to deal with on FR.

There is no need to be so obnoxious Max, but a normal person would know that.

Good grief, which part of just to me didn’t you understand?

Is it because you cannot stand on your own?? You remind me of grade school kids who couldn’t fight back because they have buddies behind them..

So it’s time to waste other people’s time with your little vendetta with me, eh?

That’s better. Go ahead and blast me like you always do.

Imagine this..I avoid your posts yet you make it a point to respond to mine, which are clearly directed towards the thread starter. Harrassment, correct?

Instead of wasting other Freepers time because you CANNOT fend for yourself. You ALWAYS need other Freepers to back you up every time you fail.

Dude, you immaturely attempt to establish your ‘Americanism’,
by feigning extensive knowledge as you trash your ex-homeland.
Don’t be surprised when you get called out.
