bloodyminded Posted December 1, 2010 Report Posted December 1, 2010 I sincerely hope they hire Conrad Black as an anchor commentator, it will set leftist veins throbbing on foreheads from sea to shining sea. Yes, actually, that might perform a fine and much-needed public service: dispelling forever the myth of how conservatives are natively repulsed by "elitists."

It's that most of the con's I know fit into the "Submission to Authority" types... They like the elite as long as it fits the con ethos...

Battletoads Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 I can't say I'm happy to see fox news north coming to Canada, and I hope Canadians reject this pseudo-media joke, but they have every right to try. Quote "You can lead a Conservative to knowledge, but you can't make him think."

Fox News isn't coming to Canada....relax, it's just Sun TV Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
scribblet Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 Fox News isn't coming to Canada....relax, it's just Sun TV Exactly LOL the hysteria and misinformation over this is amazing, how quickly they rush to condemn something never seen based on misinformation and assumptions. Never mind, Warren Kinsella should make it all right LOL Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

Never mind, Warren Kinsella should make it all right LOL Scribblet, you're simply awesome! You kill me! For one, there is no "hysteria" about SunTV in Canada. So your statement is nothing more than wishful hyperbole. Since you use obvious hyperbole to make a factual statement, this is a type of misinformation based on the assumption that people are unable to discern such 'extravegant exaggeration' in everyday communications. In other words, you are the one who is spreading the "misinformation and assumptions!" Now that is a nice piece of irony, like a chunk of crystal that builds upon it's own symmetry. Very well done! And it is nice to know that SunTV has a ready made market here in the Great White North. They've obviously done their research... Quote

scribblet Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) Can be seen on TV, where can I see it, thought it wasn't until next year - never mind the heads will keep on exploding and the frothing will keep on - well - frothing :D sorta like that Guardian article a while ago that got it all wrong, you guys must be writing for them.

Which is a great point actually. I mean Fox News is a prime source of Jon Stewart's best jokes and media cut-ups; Rick Mercer must be also frothing with anticipation waiting for SunTV to start up and provide him with a rich source of comedic material as well. I wonder how long before Mercer comes out with a special called 'Talking with SunTV News viewers." I can just imagine him asking some SunTV viewer what they think about the new 5$ coin - the Woodie.

I really cannot wait for this channel... I suspect I'll be pulling muscles laughing at the "unbiased reporting of the news"... How 'bout this one for Mercer,because I think he's going to slice and dice this thing... "Let's find the Sun TV viewer.... The method? Go to any mall and find the "We Support the Troops!" sticker on the bumper..." Probably a good place to start...

That's very interesting, because Canadians clamor for many kinds of American media formats and content, from news to sports....even stealing cable television service. So now we have the odd circumstance of Canadians rejecting one of the very same formats in a domestic production. Fascinating..... Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

dre Posted December 19, 2010 Report Posted December 19, 2010 I can tell you if I was a SUNTV executive, I would be pretty happy about this whole debate. They will have many millions of viewers on DAY ONE. A loyally following thats been pining for them on the internet for almost a year already. KA CHING! Wish I thought of it first!

Such revelations were a gift in a cereal bowl...adding yet another element of American "culture" that causes both longing and revulsion in Canada. Let's see....some Canadians want Cocoa Puffs in the worst way (see online petition), but not a Fox News media format....do I have that right? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
