GWiz Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Now THAT'S a great strawman. Nobody said ordinary people shouldn't have NO RIGHTS. Stop acting like a crazy person. That's a double negative... But anyway... Hmmm, that's very interesting Shady, or is it "nobody"... What makes YOU think that YOU are one of the people I was referring to? Or perhaps you are just the official representative for a certain group of people on this board, or in fact this whole board, to make such a bold statement?

Shady Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 What makes YOU think that YOU are one of the people I was referring to? Because it's the same type of specious argument made in other threads. That if you don't support a perverted negotiating system for public workers to confiscate more of other people's money, you're somehow in support of them having no human rights or something. Quote

scribblet Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Globe and Mail Update Posted on Friday, February 25, 2011 4:43PM EST To be exact... No where is there any evidence that the CRTC's decision or the committee's request which has been asking for years, is tied to SunTV. There maybe speculation and the public may be buying into the media and left wing narrative that it is, but that does not make it so. Again, the committee requested CRTC to make the change long before SunTV's application. Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

kimmy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Let's see if I've got this straight... In order for this so called "Fox News North" (Sun-TV) channel to get approval from the CRTC the CRTC needed to CHANGE a regulation... Wrong. The CRTC approved the Sun TV license change months ago. No conditions needed. The CRTC has decided NOT to change said regulation... Because of there being NO CHANGE in said regulation the so called "Fox News North" (Sun-TV) channel can NOT get CRTC approval to operate... That about it? Nope, pretty much completely wrong. There are some who claim that Sun TV won't work without this rule change, but that's an opinion and not a regulatory requirement of any sort. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

Does that mean SunTV will be operating without CRTC approval, be licenced as a comedy channel, what? Could you provide some back-up other than your say so? Not that I care, I don't watch Fox News South and I wouldn't watch a fifth rate Fox News North either, sicko opinion isn't NEWS and the Rush/Hannity/Beck crapers are for the previously brainwashed to stomach... just sayin' Quote There are none so blind, deaf and dumb as those that fail to recognize, understand, and promote TRUTH...- GWiz

M.Dancer Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Does that mean SunTV will be operating without CRTC approval, be licenced as a comedy channel, what? Not only is Kimmy correct, the comedy channel has CRTC approval. Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

kimmy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Who are these "many" on the left and how significant are they? Should we go through the various "media bias" threads and count how many people think CTV and Global are corporate/conservative mouthpieces?

kimmy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Well now, why don't you tell me? The CRTC decision being discussed refers to rules regarding the deliberate broadcast of "news" that is known to be untrue (hence the reference to "fake news".) Nothing at all to do with Sun TV's license. Don't you feel silly that someone had to explain this for you? Figured as much. "People more attention pay to what you do than what you say." Incidentally, do YOU believe that the "fair and unbiased news" slogan Fox News uses is an accurate description of what Fox News does/broadcasts? I honestly couldn't care less about Fox News. I've never watched it, don't plan on watching it, and don't plan on watching Sun TV either. Oh, btw, where did you get your journalism accreditation? I know where I got mine... Based on what you've shown in this thread, I'm guessing it came from Clown College. The only response you'll get for that is.... Wait for it...

However, meeting and maintaining CRTC criteria is germain to being able to broadcast in the 'Fox News North" style of "news"... Without which SunTV becomes a NOTHING "news station" no different than the CBC or CTV news networks, only a lot less watched, meaning a lot less advertising, meaning they ain't gonna be around for long, if at all...

You can decide for yourself how significant they are. -k Ah, I thought you were talking about politicians and public personalities, not people on this board. However, Herman & Chomskys Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media is still a damn good read. Using the propaganda model, Manufacturing Consent posits that corporate - owned news mass communication media — print, radio, television — are businesses subject to commercial competition for advertising revenue and profit. As such, their distortion (editorial bias) of news reportage — i.e. what types of news, which items, and how they are reported — is a consequence of the profit motive that requires establishing a stable, profitable business; therefore, news businesses favoring profit over the public interest succeed, while those favoring reportorial accuracy over profits fail, and are relegated to the margins of their markets (low sales and ratings). - wiki article Quote

However, Herman & Chomskys Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media is still a damn good read. - wiki article A good read indeed, but based on the US model, which is where the Huffington commentary comes in... Canada has SAFEGUARDS in place, which weren't changed, to prevent FLAGRANT FALSE PROPAGANDA, such as is the (US) Fox "News" model which is STRICTLY a propaganda for profit model of FALSE and MISLEADING "news" with a designed purpose... On the "left", in the US, there is MSNBC, but to a far lesser degree than the "extreme bias" on the "FAR right" that Fox "News" typifies... We will have to wait and see what "format" Sun-TV - being deemed "Fox News North" - will, or more importantly, be able, to adopt in living up to that designation... IMHO Sun-TV will fail, IF it gets off the ground, simply because it will not be able to cater to a large enough demographic in Canada being a "right leaning" news station little different than the CTV news channel already is...

Mr.Canada Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Sun News is going to begin airing April 18, 2011. If you don't like this news just change the channel.
