lol it is
The CRTC regulations apply only to Canadian broadcasters using Canadian airwaves; they do not apply to the Fox News Channel, which is a non-Canadian entity transmitted via satellite and cable, not broadcast over public airwaves.

O'Reilly in particular loves to boast about the ratings, I just wonder when it inevitably happens that FOX news gets beat in the ratings (that is - when 2/3's of his audience dies off in the next 10 years), will he still stand and support that logic?
And also, he must be a biiiiiig fan of Honey-Boo-Boo, Keeping up with the Kardashians and Duck Dynasty, just look at their ratings!

All the major media outlets put out biased reporting and opinion pieces as news. You have to be half nuts to watch that stuff everyday.

You posted this bro..... after fox agreed NOT to open a Canadian faux news channel, only then were they allowed to broadcast American generated faux news in Canada. They don't want their kind of news in Canada.....
I already posted the same info, doublejj ignored it because it shut down his insinuation.
And yes I watched the Young Turks video, same old propaganda they usually produce.

I agree. Every media outlet has an agenda to push and from a non biased perspective, it's very easy to identify. People stuck in the left/right paradigm simply don't seem to have this ability. It's all about their team being right and the other team being wrong. This is the exact reason younger generations of people are moving away from TV news sources onto more independent ones online, they have more to gain by telling the viewer the truth and a lot more to lose lying as establishing credibility creates supporters and if you lie to the viewer, even just once, all that you've worked for is immediately destroyed. The old adage "it takes a lifetime to create trust and only a moment to destroy it" explains it perfectly.
The Young Turks on youtube has a pretty clear left leaning slant, but for the most part the information you get from that organization is relatively honest. They criticize politicians on the left as well as the right, as well as Obama when he does stupid shit

So the Canadian standards that require "News" organizations to broadcast the truth does not apply to FOX news, so they are allowed to broadcast in Canada. Explain to me how he was proved wrong?
Do you believe if they were also held to that standard they'd be allowed to produce and broadcast FOX in Canada?
Obama metaphorically bitch slapped O'Reilly and made him look like a fool, that was beautiful!
Benghazi, the IRS "scandal"? LMFAO I was waiting for him to bring up the birth certificate next!
And here's the truth that puts your misinformed ass to bed.

Fox Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch was rebuffed in his efforts to establish Fox News Canada in 2003 due to Canadian laws regarding foreign ownership of print and broadcast media, but the CRTC approved an application to bring the Fox News Channel to Canadian digital television line-ups back in November 2004, and that channel is now carried by dozens of different digital providers throughout Canada.

Why isn't FOX held to the CRTC standard for news organizations Canadian produced news organizations are?
The whole wiki article pretty much says what color of crime says, but there is a sentence or short paragraph where it says something like poverty is a better fit that race, but the biggest indicator of the wealth of a neighborhood is also race.
Linking crime to SES instead of race sounds cool for a minute until you realize that the best indicator of SES is also race.
Poor whites also commit more crime than middle class whites being the only saving grace of your counterpoint.
Only Canadian owned media is, but that does not mean Canadian news is any more reliable than Fox.
I wish we had that law here in America.

I'm a fan of Duck Dynasty.. and?
Not sure what happen with you pada but you slipped off the ball on this one..
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and video content to a dispersed audience via any audio or visual mass communications medium, but usually one using electromagnetic radiation (radio waves).
Even though they don't have a physical location, fox news is still (broadcasted) over cable. << This as whole proves the statement wrong that they are not allowed to broadcast in canada.
Not sure why you needed the young turks to walk you through the obama interview, but you saying that O'reilly was metaphorically bitch slapped by obama is completely wrong. Unless you count avoiding questions he always avoids as him bitch slapping someone then ok.
The last part you wrote about him bringing up "things of the past", is a major talking point around the beginning of that video, but even still its relevant because he always dodges the questions and while some may think that Benghazi is done and ppl should leave it alone are obviously not thinking of the families that still want answers that they will never get.

If person A can lie and person B can't, who would you say would be a more reliable person in regards to credible information?
