Fox News Channel ban lifted by state-censor

[cleopatra]

The ban against Fox News Channel in Canada was finally lifted on Thursday November 18 2004, by Canada's Liberal Party state-censor, the CRTC, after forcing Canadians to wait until the hurdle of putting the liberals through two elections - one in Canada and one in the U.S. - were over.

While Fox News Channel is the #1 cable news channel in the US by a huge margin (its primetime ratings are higher than CNN, CNN Headline News, MSNBC, and CNBC combined), it has been banned in Canada by the Liberal Party's state censor for years because they were concerned it allowed conservative viewpoints to leak into society, thereby ruining years of liberal-left media indoctrination, some of which was done by the state itself through the state-run CBC.

In typical Soviet-style bureaucratic nonsense that goes on for thousands upon thousands of words, the state-run state-censors at the CRTC released their decision and it will take half the day to read it. Here's the link to it.

This was the third time that Canadian cable companies applied for the Fox News Channel, so it looks like three is the lucky charm. Perhaps 3 should be used as a number in the next lotto draw.

Just think. An alternative news source. And conservatives actually getting fair representation on a news show in Canada. What a change from the CBC where it is all liberals sitting around debating the news stories.

Egad!

Fox news is not an objective news source. Popularity doesn't necessarily mean its a reliable source. Fox news is actually a very right wing biased news station that has as a main anchor that sexually harasses female co-workers. I believe his name is O'Reilly, and he settled rather than have the tapes revealed incriminating him. Because of Fox news, you no longer have to watch or go to a football game to see cheerleaders. Fox is very biased and not objective news reporting. And now it has bragging rights to be the only network to have a main anchor who believes sexually harassing female employees is acceptable.
Cleo may deny this, but facts are facts. O'Reilly settled rather than go to court and have the taped incriminating conversations revealed. If he believed he was innocent he should have went to court and proved his innocence. The guy is married also and the existence of the tapes proves he is a smuck having phone sex with a female employee. So much for right wing conservative values of whom this guy is the poster child of.
Don't argue he settled to save his reputation because the detailed transcripts more or less say there were taped conversations. His reputation is already trashed with his settlement. If he wanted to clear his name and if he believed he was innocent he would have went to court.

Sexual harrassment is a terrible charge to be saddled with.....it's even worse when the wrong person is implicated.....Mr. Sinclair is innocent. Bill O'Reilly is the culprit.

Sure I will play these numbers tonite...

Bottom line is that even this number was not good at all (the 03)....just as everything else...But the 01 came up in Super 7 so it is your first acurate prediction on this board...Which makes me ask this question...What softwares are you using???

Fox news is not an objective news source.

And how would you know since it is/was banned in Canada?

Fox news is actually a very right wing biased news station that has as a main anchor that sexually harasses female co-workers.

Bill O'Reilly is not a main anchor. He hosts the O'Reilly Factor (the #1 rated show in primetime for cable news channels)and has always said he is not an anchor nor a journalist.

And how in the world could you accuse him of sexually harrassing female co-workers when there is no proof of that? If he did indeed harass female co-workers, then Andrea Mackris would have never settled with O'Reilly after O'Reilly sued her for trying to extort money from him. She never would have settled if she had a good case. I take sexual harassment seriously, but there did seem to be a few holes in her story. Why leave Fox News for CNN, then come back to Fox News if you are being sexually harassed? In fact, why come back and ask O'Reilly for your old job back?

And Mackris' lawyer is a contributor to the Democrat Party (big surprise since lawyer's have major influence in the Democrat Party).

I have seen in the past that the left will stop at nothing to destroy reputations of people they dislike (look at the racist cartoons in the last week about Condi Rice after she was appointed Secretary of State). I think they would love to take O'Reilly down because he has influence with his #1 rated show. Remember Soros' Moveon/org tried to get Fox to drop their 'fair and balanced' moniker. I saw it on their website.
This is what they said: "Let's take back our media."
A little Freudian slip on Moveon.org's part there.

Although I admit that Fox News Channel leans slightly to the right, it is a fair and balanced news channel. They were one of the first (or maybe even the first) to (in error) call the 2000 election for Gore. Compare that to CNN and CBS who refused to call Ohio for Bush this year, when he had a bigger lead with more votes in than Kerry did in Pennslyvania - which both CNN and CBS quickly called for Kerry. They were the only TV news organization that was reporting the UN's Oil for Food scandal. The liberal media refused to report it....until after the election was over and they knew they were stuck with Bush for another 4 years.
Fox also reported the Associated Press lie that Bush supporters booed Clinton's name at that Bush rally. (Bush wished Clinton good luck in his then upcoming heart surgery) If Fox News wasn't there and had an audio feed, this lie would have been allowed to stand. No way the liberal media would come out and say it was a lie.

The Fox News channel is not a 'very rightwing biased news station'.
Even Yale said so. They said it is centrist
and it is the rest of the media that is liberally biased. (Duh! Like that wasn't obvious).

Note: The link at Yale is no longer available, so I had to link to another site that reported on this study.

Dennis BassBoss:

Actually, I believe I predicted Bush would be re-elected. As for numbers, I just go by my feelings. I really don't have a 'system'. And I don't play the Super 7. Odds are too high.

What softwares are you using???

I use 9 numbers and play 3 tickets each draw. That's it. I am surprised when I read your posts and you write the lines you are going to play. Some of them are over 40 tickets. I don't understand a lot of the lotto lingo you people use here, but do you really play that many tickets?

 

[Dennis Bassboss]

Finally I have succeded of making you talk about lotto...
When the big Tomalli will hit everybody will see it....Trust me...Yes I play a lot ...

 

[cleopatra]

Good luck. I don't talk a lot about the lotto because I don't understand a lot of the lingo you people use. Plus, many seem to use huge wheels here. The only one I can remember reading who plays small amounts like myself, was Sheba. If I remember correctly, she said she plays 2 tickets per draw. I play three.

Also, many of the threads here seem to be about lucky or hot numbers. I'm not sure if I believe in that. However, I have read nearly all the threads about lotto wheels and lotto strategies. Some of it was very good and helpful.

The only real thread I remember starting about the lottery was a thread titled Any Tips For Eliminating Numbers (or something to that effect). I got some good replies, too.

Dennis, what is the most numbers you have matched? My best is 4 of 6.
