Where did you get that figure? I can't speak to Fox News TV and radio. It isn't beamed into Canada. They have an application before the CRTC. I doubt it would be eagerly received here. We already get heaps of American programming. LoL Julie:

Irony! FYI, I love the likes of O'Reilly, Coulter, and Hannity... Puh-leez!!

It is merely a fact. I think American consumers are poorer for the lack of world news, but that is just me. The difficulty I have is that when we do make the news it is painfully apparent how domestic the coverage can be. I doubt Canadians would be any better off allowing Fox into our broadcast lineup. I honestly can't opine on the Fox talent. All I know about Fox is what is on the net. I have little problem with the fact border countries are a non-issue to most Americans. It is merely a fact.

It is more pro-American than CNN, who strives to have a more internationalist vantage point, for they want a worldwide viewership. Fox is as right-of-center as CNN is left-of-center; between the two, things are fair and ballanced. People us O'Reilly to bash Fox, but that's only five hours out of 168 (ten if you count a late-night rerun). Use the remote to head elsewhere between 8 and 10PM Eastern Time weeknights and come back during the day for a solid complement to CNN. I don't see the average Fox viewer has a lot of anti-Canadian sentiment; for most of them, Canada's a non-issue.
