Smallc Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 I see, so because she doesn't know, that's tantamount to all of Sun News not knowing? So when Rick Sanchez on CNN couldn't find Hawaii on a map, does that mean that CNN in general doesn't know where Hawaii is? Of course not. Be a little less hyperbolic next time please. Wow, you've jumped on the bandwagon, haven't you? Sun News is an amateur operation with amateur hosts (other than maybe Adler). Quote
capricorn Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Sun News is an amateur operation with amateur hosts (other than maybe Adler). The more you comment on Sun News' content, the more it's an admission that you're tuning in. So if you think it's so amateurish then just don't watch.

So if you think it's so amateurish then just don't watch. I've watched it all of four times for a collective hour. I wouldn't call that tuning in. The only reason I say that Adler may not be amateur is because of all of his experience. Quote
Shady Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Wow, you've jumped on the bandwagon, haven't you? Sun News is an amateur operation with amateur hosts (other than maybe Adler). I agree, it is somewhat amateurish. But you're still wrong, just admit it. Quote
Smallc Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 I agree, it is somewhat amateurish. But you're still wrong, just admit it. Wrong about what? My statement wasn't even meant to be taken to the level of seriousness that you took it to. Quote
Shady Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Wrong about what? My statement wasn't even meant to be taken to the level of seriousness that you took it to. Careful not to trip while you're backtracking! Quote
Smallc Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Yeah, backtracking. I made an over the top statement. It was meant to be taken that way. Quote
bloodyminded Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) It was Krista Erickson. I'm sure she knows the difference, but it was sloppy to not correct the mistake. My goodness, you certainly take criticism of FNN seriously. That's because this well-worn, old news warhorse, which strives only for integrity and balance, has long suffered under innumerable slanders and unfair criticisms by all you folks who have been indoctrinated by the leftwing news media in general. Hence the outrage (ie "stfu") over your deadly-serious remark. Edited April 24, 2011 by bloodyminded Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings

Shady Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 I didn't say it was a joke. So what exactly was the point? Quote
Smallc Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 So what exactly was the point? There really wasn't one. Next time I'll be sure to ask your permission. Quote

BubberMiley Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 It's sad to see someone's main point of contention with the CBC so neutered he has to hide in a hole and never address it. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
Shady Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 It's sad to see someone's main point of contention with the CBC so neutered he has to hide in a hole and never address it. Nonsense. Many examples in several threads have been provided illustrating their bias. Quote
Shwa Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Sun News drawing as few as 4,000 viewers Bummer. I hope they get more viewers looking for more "balance." On the other hand, perhaps the mere fact this is reported by that communist rag The Toronto Star is not really reflecting the truth? Perhaps SunTV has a million secret viewers which cannot be detected. Like the 'silent majority' of yore. In other news, us Rogers subscribers are being forced to pay for this just like the CBC, APTN and the Comedy Network. Quote

They could really spruce things up with a billion bucks. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/MediaNews/2011/04/29/18081216.html I wonder , who owns Canoe News ? Let me see......hmmm..... Hate to tell you but Sun News is sucking really bad. Chances are that after Monday night their results will worsen. But they have deep pockets, short skirts and boobies so they might just make a go of it afterall. Did you know one of the ads running is for CBC ? Gotta pay the bills ya know. By the end of Sun News’s first week, shows featuring Winnipeg-based radio host Charles Adler and Ottawa-based journalist Brian Lilley were drawing 4,000 and 5,000 viewers across Canada in their evening slots (Adler had opened the week with 31,000 viewers and Lilley with 17,000).A Sun News Network spokesman said Wednesday he had no comment on the network’s first-week ratings. When compared against other news programming on the dial, Sun News is not rating highly. While Sun News commentator Theo Caldwell was drawing 11,000 viewers at 7 p.m. last Friday, CBC News Network had an audience of 263,000 viewers across Canada. CNN’s estimated audience in Canada at 7 p.m. on Friday was 38,000 viewers. Another The so-called "Fox News North" specialty service initially struck estimated ratings of about 31,000 viewers on its evening launch of April 18, but has now dropped to as little as 4,000 and 5,000 viewers in the evening slots with hosts Brian Lilley and Charles Adler, CP reported http://www.thewirereport.ca/reports/content/12351-sun_news_network_ratings_drop Quote
Mr.Canada Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 I must first applaud the Sun TV News team for binging us the breaking news about Jack Layton and his massage parlor visit during a police raid. That was some excellent reporting. That is the kind of thing Canadians really need to know. So much in politics is scripted and controlled. Events like this give us Canadians a chance to see how a future PM would respond under pressure.

WIP Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 I must first applaud the Sun TV News team for binging us the breaking news about Jack Layton and his massage parlor visit during a police raid. That was some excellent reporting. That is the kind of thing Canadians really need to know. So much in politics is scripted and controlled. Events like this give us Canadians a chance to see how a future PM would respond under pressure. Judging from the bump in the polls this gave the NDP, I'm figuring that this last, desperate rightwing smear attack has boomeranged on Harper! And SunTV is goddawful television from what I've seen so far. Like the Sun newspapers really need a TV station so that Ezra Levant can read his editorial to us on television...or we have to look at Charles Adler, as he does the same thing he does on radio....work as a payed propagandist for the oil companies!

Pliny Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 Bell TV pulls Sun News Network in fee dispute No doubt due to the left-wing bias of Bell Canada. Come on, admit it...

Jack Weber Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 I've watched about 2 1/2 hours in total since it's inception.... It looks like a poorly produced late night infomercial for right wing cranks in this country that seems to run for 24 hours a day... Other than David Aiken,who I think is a pretty fair journalist,it's utterly abyssmal! Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
