Do you know why Fox News is banned in Canada?

It is not banned in Canada. I can tune in anytime I want, and I don't want to, ever.

LOL. Yes... I know what a lie is.

Like for example, when someone says that Fox News is banned in Canada. I know that is a lie because I get Fox and I live in Canada. Within seconds anyone can look up the channel lists of any Canadian cable or satellite provider and can see that various Fox channels (including Fox News) on on their listings.

Let's see... Shaw Cable System has five Fox channels -- including Seattle (15), Rochester (83), Fox News (143), and HD versions of Seattle (203) and Rochester (208).

So... you are clearly lying when you stated that Fox News is banned in Canada.

The source of this nonsense comes from some rather silly reporting by various US news agencies. There is an old CRTC (Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Committee) law which dates back to the 1960s which states that you can't lie on the news broadcast on public *airwaves*. At that time, there were only three main Canadian networks and the government owned station (CBC) was the main source of news. The law was enacted to keep the CBC independent of government and prevent politicians from trying to use the nationally owned TV station for political purposes. Today... that law is meaningless as 95% of Canadians get TV via cable or satellite (which the law doesn't cover) and it has been thirty years since the CBC news was the only major news channel. A few years back the government moved to scrap the law. Fox (nor any other US network) has never applied for a license to broadcast using Canadian TV frequencies, nor would any of them as 95%+ of Canadians don't use antennas nor would they watch US news anyway. The law has never been applied to Fox nor has any government agency needed to rule that Fox lies. They haven't ruled than CNN or PBS news lies either.

While I do think that Fox lies and spins stuff, it is not banned here. I can watch it any time I wish. I don't watch Fox news because I have little interest in US news. In Canada, even CNN is ranked around #5 after the CBC, BBC, CTV, and various local stations.

Except, of course, this isn't true.

I'm no fan of Fox News, but it can be seen in Canada. What you may have heard was that it was originally rejected, as a combination US/Canadian News outlet. However, since that was not the plan, it was approved.

Fox News Channel is currently offered by Access Communications, Bell TV, Cogeco, Eastlink, Manitoba Telecom Services, Rogers, SaskTel, Shaw Cable, Shaw Direct and Telus TV.

Television is merely educational if you are watching a documentary or something similar

better watch a movie,than read a book.Of course,it is better to get an improved picture by watching the action(images),then looking at all these indicated words.

Fox News is not banned in Canada.

Yes they did.

But they claim the whole country of Canada is wrong.

Seems like a weak claim, and think, "who needs them anyway their socialists."

Is it really a lie when it reaffirms your pre-exsisting assumptions about yourself and others?

Wow is it really? That's interesting. I never knew that.
