Fox News channel heading to Canada

Now that you mention it, I want CBC in this country. Let's start a campaign. What a good idea. We need input for other countries and a good place to start would be with our closest neighbors. I'm sure the Canadians would love the additional income.

I worked in the industry for a time. The Canadian government got American film production to move up here through offering attractive tax breaks. The lower costs (staff, locations, and our dollar) added to the potential savings.

I don't think one needs to posit a a quid pro quo deal between Canadian/American officials to further American media penetration however. I think that's better seen as an aspect of NAFTA and related trade agreements.

This is an amazing thread! I'd love to see nimh, walter, mctag, dlowan, thomas, steve and the others from outside the US comment on the posts here.

Whaddya do with folks like fox and jw?

On the one hand, there are the many folks who read press and commentary, daily in most cases, from diverse sources spread all over the world, including from the US.

On the other hand, fox and jw and select company who don't. Unless linked from townhall, of course.

And this second group actually does think they have the objective and balanced viewpoint!?!

And in North Korea, the folks there, only slightly more isolated than our friends here, believe that the whole world loves and admires The Great Leader.

What I saw was nuts in a million ways. And cool in a million ways too.

I removed myself from the industry because the time demands weren't compatible with raising a daughter, but it wasn't a terrifically tough decision as I took offense to how many dollars were going towards absolute crap.

Smug much? What should be done with you? You read a few articles and think you have the right to denegrate the opinions of others? As JW said, you don't have a clue as to what is read by whom.

You also speak as if you don't dismiss any conservative viewpoints you hear as quickly as you hear them. Feel free to correct me, but I don't recall you posting a wide array of the diversity of opinions and views you claim to hold most dear. Based upon my recollection of the content of most of your postings, it appears you only read/watch liberal mags, rags, and tv programming. Shall I be so bold as to conclude you to be an unenlighted, one-dimensional, subjective, and out-of-balance poster for that reason?

Perhaps it's time to reign in the superior attitude a bit before I'm forced to retch.

Jesus! It takes a fair bit to get you turned around a corner.

LOL. Well, in my case, I've been far more familiar with corners than anything straight. The slightest skin blemish and I change career, address and lady-friend. If someone shakes out a down comforter from a balcony above, I'm into a hardhat in seconds.

"...thick as fleas on a hound." ain't so creative.I wouldn't be surprised if that was in Homer.
