You have my deepest sympathy: just heard that Faux News is

now in Canada

Check out this thread... and don't buy their BS, even though you're all bright enough to know that's what it is. They should be BANNED

1. It's about time you guys

finally started exporting comedians to us instead of the other way around.

2. HA

ROFLMAO

Still, I really don't think Bill O'Reilly is a fair trade for Mike Myers. We still definitely owe you.

4. You'll forgive us for The Cat in the Hat?

You're too, too kind!

[WildEyedLiberal]

5. Oh God I forgot about that movie

*cringe*

However, it was an aberration, a blight upon the otherwise funny career of Mr Myers, so I will indeed let it slide.

3. LOL!

Great response!

6. let the crazies 'eat cake'

Seriously who cares? When they commit libel they should be taken to court, until they issue a full retraction and apology. Otherwise who cares? Seriously!

These people are so nutty that they can only be a good thing for Canada. If the federal Conservative party were to adopt their views they would gurantee themselves to be in perpetual opposition. They would probably relegate themselves to a parliamentary rump and create a new three party system with Liberals, New Democrats and Greens (and of course the Bloc in Quebec) as the main parties.

Besides it's only accessible by digital cable -- therefore hardly anyone is going to see it. :D :boring: :7

9. I hope you're right...

Because they have done a lot of damage in the US (of course, there is an AUDIENCE for their kind of BS in America) and I view them as dangerous. But this may be strictly an American weakness... I hope so (if it has to exist at all)

7. I recommend you pass around

copies of "Outfoxed" to your friends and family. Then you could make a game out of it like, see how many times they say "some people say" or "shut up". At least try to inform others not "in the know" what a bunch of hogwash the station is. Good luck.

8. Excellent idea-- everyone should see "Outfoxed"

Murdoch's people are even worse than you can imagine...

10. I think it's a good idea

It lets us Canadians see what crazies are in charge of the US media.
I don't think any average Canadian is going to be swayed by FOX, not even the most rabid RW'ers we have. I think we will be appalled by the one-sided pro-*bush agenda, though.
Forewarned is forearmed.
