Fox News Channel more than doubles CNN in ratings

image In this latest snapshot, American viewers prove they’ve now solidly chosen the fair and balanced Fox News Channel over liberal CNN and the rest. 

Once they figured out that it existed, people have proven that they yearn for both sides of the story, which FNC offers as regular viewers know—not just the liberal and sometimes rabidly anti-conservative side.  “We report, you decide” is one of FNC’s mottos. It’s the way it should be, but it is precisely the opposite of how it is done in Canada.

Regular viewers of nothing but Liberal*Vision here in Canada, after decades of it,  don’t really have a clue what’s really going on or even how to critically analyse what’s going on, having heard or seen only one side, but thankfully, Fox News Channel is now available in Canada after being banned for some time.  The ban was lifted after the state censors at the CRTC allowed Al-Jazeera to broadcast in Canada.

Just to counteract the effects of the state-run CBC and the other liberal media in Canada for a generation, it should be offered for free to Canadians, paid for by the Liberal Party of Canada (not to be confused with the government —those Libbies seem to have a problem sorting out that difference!…)

As I’ve mentioned before, FNC doesn’t have news anchors who sneer or roll their eyes when conservatives say things—and they in fact allow conservatives to say things. 

They often call suicide bombers “homicide bombers”.  Terrorists aren’t called “freedom fighters”.  And on occasion, they report the good things going on in Iraq.  Capitalism is seen as a “good thing”.
