To watch Sun News for an entire day was to be in the waiting room of a dental office before a root canal, surrounded by whiny kids and strident adults bickering about taxes and moonbats. It was not something you wanted to do again.
The ratings reflected this.

In the 2013-14 broadcast year, Sun News Network averaged 3,600 viewers at any given point of any given day. In the 25-54 demo, coveted by advertisers, this number dropped to 500. In other words, Sun News could have reached more people by giving anchors megaphones and putting them on sidewalks around King and Bay.

3. Wow is correct!...

One of the best descriptions of Fox I've read

Attitude only goes so far in television. Fox News Channel, the conservative model and inspiration for Sun News, has no shortage of brashness. But what it also has, which Sun News never figured out, is a keen sense of what makes for good TV. Splashy graphics, screaming crawls, polished gabbers, huge budgets, veteran producers, militaristic sound effects, on-air brands that are leveraged across multiple platforms, all of this transcends ideology and can garner big ratings.

To watch Fox News for an entire day is to be strapped into a looping roller-coaster.

Oh, it may make you queasy. But it is memorable. It is designed to thrill its base.

2. Didn't Murdoch fund that crap?

If so, he lost a ton of money.

4. I knew it was bad, but sheesh

My dad is a hard right conservative who thinks the CBC is too liberal and hasn't voted anything but the most extreme right wing parties both provincially and federally for the last 30 years. Even **HE** cannot stomach the channel. He'll watch it on occasion for a good laugh, but he definitely does not get his news there. If they cannot even capture my dad, they were clearly in trouble from the start.
