Who will protect us from Fox?
Censoring Al-Jazeera a double standard
U.S. cable news station abusive, openly biased


ANTONIA ZERBISIAS

Now that its critics have ensured that Al-Jazeera will never get on Canada's digital dial uncensored, will they now fight to protect us from Fox News?

Recall that, last week, the federal broadcast regulator gave a half-assed go-ahead to the Arabic-language news channel, requiring that distributors who add it to their offerings keep it free of "abusive comment."

That decision, complete with onerous guilty-until-proven-innocent restrictions, was reached after lobbying by both the Canadian Jewish Congress and B'nai Brith Canada who, naturally, were concerned about anti-Jewish hate speech.

1. Just be happy you're not down south

I hate it when Canadians whine about anything. As a Canadian living in the U.S. you don't know how good you have it to actually not be ashamed of the land you live.

4. Canadians

Brain washing is like hypnotism -- the subject has to want it to happen. The more blatant propaganda is, the less effective it is. And my guess is it will seem MUCH more blatant to Canadians than it does to us Mexico-touchers.
