....The CBC is freaking out with the arrival of Fox. So much so that they're frantically working on a documentary about the Fox News Canadian invasion, in which they will tell Canadians what to think. Given that Fox News is now in direct competition with the CBC for whatever remnants of an audience the CBC has left, this has about as much credibility as Ford doing a documentary about General Motors, telling you that GM cars suck.
It (anti-Cheney documentary) was part of a CBC series on conspiracy theories, which are generally cooked up by people who think tin foil makes for good hats and for whom purple Kool-Aid is the drink of choice – in other words, the CBC's prime constituency.
...I'm really hoping Michael Moore takes home another Academy Award this year: The more rope you toss the Left, the closer these people come to hanging themselves. In witnessing the outrageously biased antics of the likes of Michael Moore, Hollywood, CBC and, most recently, CBS News, the public is more likely to see them for who they really are: agenda-driven ideologues who lie in pretending not to be.
...The CBC's publicity will help Fox News reach Canadians who aren't yet aware that the channel is available. Fox provides compelling, passionate, balanced, personality-driven, addictive current affairs programming. In other words, it's everything that the CBC – or any other Canadian current affairs programming, for that matter – is not. If Fox News is able to incorporate some Canadian content, then it will quickly become as powerful a ratings force as it has in the U.S., while setting a new standard in the Canadian market.
I really doubt that the average CBC National viewer is about to switch to Greta Van Susteren though...
