They know this will work, even if they did make a correction ... days later (which they probably won't bother to do)

Fox news, a real threat to democracy, and rational government.

If M$M media weren't controlled by Corporate owners & advertizers they should be talking about FOX news lies every time they occur. But they aren't interested in criticizing anyone who gives tv journalism a bad name, or in standing up for honest journalism. They don't practice it either so what do they care?

They would have to change the law to let FOX news be broadcast. Sounds like a good law. Hey Congress – here is a law you can pass!
Canada’s Radio Act requires that “a licenser may not broadcast … any false or misleading news.” The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the “Fairness Doctrine” in 1987.
