Run like a Fox. Whatever.
Quebecor -- for you non-Canadians, a big and rich company -- is bidding to start a Fox News kind of station to promote the 'fair and balanced' right wing television perspective in our wonderful land.
Fine. I'm all for freedom of speech. What mixes up such a pure and noble idea is that the typical right-winger actually does not like freedom of speech -- hence their hatred of the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). Show two sides to any given story and you are not fair and balanced. Show one side only, of course the right side, pushed with single-minded ferocity, and things are just hunky-dory.
Here's a toast to another possible station which I will not watch... I don't have cable.
The news from a real newspaper...
