    Correct.

    Also, that's Quebec. The rest of Canada is ashamed of their actions at all times. The only reason the east coast goes there is for poutine, and the fact that the drinking age is only 18 there... or to commit suicide, beat up frenchies or to go through it.

    Its some BS about patriotism, good sportsmanship, respect, yadda yadda. For the most part I agree, but... it feels good to hear your anthem after winning the world juniors or something :p

    So America(most of it) is ashamed of fox news yet you guys were bitching not to long ago about how it represented the whole of America and we should be held responsible...

    There's a word for that.

    Hey, I'd boo the Australian anthem if I could figure out which one it was. I'd probably end up pissing all over mine. They all sound the same.

    Don't know where you get that - it's higher rated than any other cable news out there

    /sigh

    I apologize to the world then. Why would anyone with a brain and keeps up on ANYTHING want to listen to fox news. I was hoping it was just because I live in Oklahoma that people had a hard on for the station.

    At least Fox News provides some right-leaning bias to counterbalance the more left-leaning stations (MSNBC I'm looking at you...)

    Really though, there isn't such a thing as a major news media outlet that doesn't have some political agenda one way or the other.

    On topic. When is Canada, or even the Montreal Canadiens gonna apologize?

    The media is only as liberal as the conservative corporations funding it.

    However, there's a point in there that Fox News is kind of a holdout as the lone cable news station that caters to the more conservative mindset, whereas the more liberal viewer has a choice of different stations to watch. That's part of why Fox News has so many viewers relative to any individual other news station--it has no competition for that market. MSNBC, however, does.

    Some interesting notes re: Fox's TV News Stattion dominance:

    http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2008/narrative_cabletv_audience.php?cat=2&media=7
    Impressive, compared to the other cable news stations. However, please note that 2 million viewers for the top-rated show (Bill O'Reilly) on the network does not = representing "most of America". There are, after all, more than 304,059,724 people living in the United States, according to the US Census Bureau, which means that only .6% of the US watches it. :p

    Even more fun? Fox's broadcast station is acting like it's going to cancel Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Why? Low viewership...of over 3.5 million for the season finale...and an average viewership of more than twice as much as the top-rated Fox News show. :p

    Didn't read any posts but ALL and I do mean ALL NEWS shows are dumb and should not be watched. They don't show the real news they just want to show you lame bullshit.

    Only 2 you can watch that give a glimpse at real news is Colbert Report and The Daily show ;)

    I know you are from OU etc... I was just mentioning that Fox News is a horrible news station and you can watch it but if you have a brain I hope you realize that they are one of the worst news stations ever. They should label themselves as entertainment instead of news so that so many idiots wouldn't actually believe the BS they spew out.

    Conservative/Fake Republicans have lost their way and its mainly because of fox news and the fat man.

    lol the fat man, I would not say real conservatives have lost there way at all, real conservatives distance themselves from the republicans. republicans have sure fallen hard over the last years, its b/c of bush (who sucked terribly) and the fact that the are weak minded and bend over on stances they are apparently opposed to.
