Canada Keeps Censoring Fox but OKs Al-Jazeera

Canada's increasingly strange government, which continues to censor Fox News Channel, has covertly approved the unleashing of the terrorists' favorite propaganda machine.

"The federal broadcast regulator made one of its most controversial decisions in recent years when it approved the digital distribution [Thursday] of the Arabic-language TV news network Al-Jazeera, although it did so without any public hearings," the Toronto Globe and Mail reported today.


Story Continues Below



Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, apparently caught up in Ottawa's P.C. craze for "diversity," also OK'd eight "other so-called ethnic distribution requests": five in Spanish, one German, one Romanian and another Arabic-language station.
But Canada's FNC fans who want a popular network that would actually draw an audience are out of luck. Like America's pseudo-intelligentsia, the Canadian elites have no tolerance for diversity of ideas that might be moderate, conservative, libertarian or patriotic.

Maybe they just like to keep abreast of what the people in the mideast are saying, are hearing, are being told, and what they know from that perspective?

If you only make the effort to see things from one side, how do you know the big picture?

That is disheartening. What is their Arab/Muslim population like? Has it been growing?

Thanks Kiko! Looks like the majority are coming from the Asian and Pacific areas.

If you want to see the "big picture" watch John Gibson's show on Fox!

Here's a sample of the boorish behaviour they're missing:

Quicktime Broadband

56k Quicktime
http://cdn.moveon.org/data/ShutUp_Final_BbandLo.mov

Windows Media 56K
http://mfile.akamai.com/11672/wmv/cdn.m ... _small.wmv

Windows Media Broadband
http://mfile.akamai.com/11672/wmv/cdn.m ... _large.wmv

pick yer poison... QuickTime worked best for me.

Give me a break Kiko. Firstly nice edits.. Point of the video was to show he dosent give anyonce a chance for there side to be heard? But at the same time they make the clip showing only what oriely has said.. And secondly good to see you take the topic at hand and turn it around to a bash on FNC..

and one mor thing.. ah... Forget it.. just listen to the clip again :wink:

Not me, Chad... Canada censored Fox.

I did listen to it again. The 'clip' says it's my right to speak up.

Here's a thought: There's censorship in "progressive" canada? Tisk Tisk.

I feel bad for those brainwashed liberal canuks.

Better crank up Voice of America and aim it north.
