Tell me if this makes sence to you. Conservatives in Canada are

[applegrove]

starting "Sun tv" to be fox news north. But Canadians are well informed and have CRTC laws that make it illegal to purposely lie during a newscast. So the Sun tv show will be much different that fox news in the USA. Because they cannot lie. Can we point that out and show the difference between the two news networks on a whole host of topics and make the difference on facts an issue? Would a story on fox news make it through to teabaggers?

1. would the story air on Fox News? Then probably not.

2. They'll end up just left of MSNBC because the truth that they are required to tell has a

"well known liberal bias"

;)

[HEyHEY]

3. You can slant a story easily without lying at all

It all depends on who you interview and what facts you leave out.

[glinda]

4. exactly

[HEyHEY]

5. I will say, most crappy reporters I know weren't purposely slanting...

They were just too pigheaded and thick to understand they weren't being objective.

[applegrove]

7. I see your point. Still, they will have different facts than fox. It will be telling.

[HEyHEY]

9. Of course, that's what I mean by choosing which facts they use.

They will report do things like (and this is a made-up situation) report HIV infections have gone up 35 per cent, but won't report that they closed a safe-needle exchange the month before. Then they'll say that prevention measures aren't working.

6. I wouldn't assume they can't lie.

With a lot of people, even Canadians, their emotions and drives matter more than the truth. So what matters is not whether you tell them the truth but how cleverly you appeal to their baser selves.

8. They had a test run with the Sharia Law thing already.

[HEyHEY]

10. Really? What did they do?

[glinda]

14. Over year ago some friends in Canada were all worried about Sahria Law as the rumor was

put out there that Muslims in Canada were trying to make it Law. Exact same BS as in the US right now.

[HEyHEY]

15. Oh that, yeah. I'm still against it though. Even if it's voluntary.

[snot]

12. Give it a little time. You have to repeat a lie a few times before it becomes "truthy."

[Tx4obama]

11. If Sun TV does NOT lie, then they will NOT be like FoxNews. n/t

[CommonSensePLZ]

13. Illegal to intentionally deceive the masses? I feel slightly jealous now. :(

It is fun making fun of Fox though. :)
