Default No Fox News in Canada
Why in the world would anyone be trying to repeal a law that prevents lying in broadcast news?

Quote:
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canada regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada's right wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.

Canada's Radio Act requires that "a licenser may not broadcast....any false or misleading news." The provision has kept Fox News and right wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom.

I think Kennedy should have used MSNBC as a better and more current example.

Yeah, somebody has to stop people from telling the truth about this administration and its harmful policies.
