Leftists Bring Out Their Gobell Primer...
Anti-Mayor Ford agenda is clear
Del Grande: “If you cannot derail the message, derail the messenger.” That is the essence of the continuing harassment of Mayor Rob Ford by certain journalists and media outlets in this city. Look at what transpired last week. The CBC’s Mary Walsh, dressed up as a so-called “Warrior Princess,” showed up unannounced on the driveway of Mayor Ford’s home early Monday morning to harass...

Common Sense Returning To TV...
On the air: SUN NEWS granted licence
By QMI Agency
The line for shuddering and moaning on the political left forms here.
Sun TV News, Quebecor's all-news network, has been approved by Canada's broadcast regulator.
The CRTC announced on Friday that it has granted the forthcoming national news service approval to broadcast as an English-language, Category 2, specialty TV channel.
In its statement, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission reiterated "the importance of maintaining and enhancing the plurality of editorial voices in local and national markets and ensuring that Canadians are exposed to an appropriate plurality of those voices."
"The licensing of additional competitive mainstream national news services is one means of achieving this objective," the CRTC statement added.
The CRTC's list of Category 2 specialty channels is wide-ranging and includes services such as Animal Planet, National Geographic Channel, the NHL Network, GameTV and Nikelodeon.
"Today marks the dawn of a new era for Canadian news media," Quebecor Media president and CEO Pierre Karl Péladeau said in a statement reacting to the CRTC announcement.
"[Sun TV News] will aim to challenge conventional wisdom and offer Canadians a new choice and a new voice on TV."
Run by Quebecor's TVA Group and Sun Media divisions, the new right-leaning network will replace the over-the-air Sun TV station in Toronto and have its headquarters there.
'Hard news and straight talk'
Since Péladeau unveiled plans for the network in June, its motto has been "hard news and straight talk." Some in the industry have dubbed the service "Fox News North" — a label Sun TV News officials have rejected.
Quebecor had initially sought Category 1 status, which would guarantee it a place among the default channels for all cable subscribers, like news rivals such as CBC News Network and CTV News Channel.
However, the CRTC is not considering new tier-one broadcast licences until October 2011, following the switchover of all Canadian TV signals from over-the-air to digital.
The media company subsequently requested a must-carry exemption for its Category 2 licence bid. The request was to be the subject of a public hearing scheduled this month, but Quebecor announced it was dropping the must-carry bid in October.
In recent months, Sun TV News has announced a number of high-profile hirings, including former CBC journalist Krista Erickson, commentator and broadcaster Charles Adler, veteran journalist David Akin, radio broadcaster Brian Lilley and columnist Ezra Levant.
The network is expected to take to the airwaves in spring 2011.

We Need FOX NEWS NORTH ASAP...
...and you have to wonder why the left is so opposed? Is it possible they don't want anyone to turn over the rocks they hide beneath?
Honesty not required in the Leftist media
Bill O'Reilly
After last week's election results rolled in, some on the left became distraught and went after Fox News big time. Of course, we are used to the growing problem of Fox-o-phobia: an irrational fear of the Fox News Channel. On election night, FNC won the national ratings race, even defeating the network news operations, which is incredible because cable channels are much harder to access than single digit network channels.
Immediately after the votes were counted, the incoming fire began. Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote that Fox News held "a victory party" for Republicans on the air. Milbank then stated: "To be fair and balanced, Fox brought in a nominal Democrat, pollster Doug Schoen."
A nominal Democrat? Well, that is flat-out false. FNC had seven Democrats on the air that night, and I believe Geraldine Ferraro and Joe Trippi might be surprised to see themselves described as "nominal."
So, why did Milbank mislead his readers, and how does he get away with it? We put the second question to Fred Hiatt, Milbank's editor at the Post. After a few hours of deliberation, he told us he didn't think Milbank had implied that only one Democrat was booked on FNC's election coverage. Either Hiatt is having trouble with the English language, or he really doesn't care. I'm betting the latter. Neither Hiatt nor Milbank would come on my program to explain themselves.
As to why the columnist wants to mislead readers, it's simple. He despises Fox News and wants to spread the loathing. But that's lazy. There are plenty of things to criticize about any national news organization, especially one that broadcasts 24 hours a day. Milbank just wanted to vent and didn't care about being accurate. He cared about being hostile and bitter.

Leftwing Attack On Freedom Of Expression?
Mounties stop Murdoch's Sun TV News from shining
Rupert Murdoch's attempt to create a US-style rightwing news channel in Canada has been put on hold. Rupert Murdoch's attempt to establish a US-style, rightwing "Fox News North" in Canada –to be called Sun TV News –has been halted for the moment.
When is a Job Offer Not a Job Offer?
Donna Laframboise: Invited in May to join a new Canadian television station, I was supposed to be a contrarian voice on topics such as global warming and David Suzuki. By October, the broadcaster had lost its nerve

Freedom Of The Press...
...it seems to be more about the presenter than the message.
Major Media Far More Interested in Jon Stewart's Rally Than Glenn Beck's
By: Lachlan Markay October 29, 2010 16:46
Journalists are practically giddy in anticipation of this weekend's Jon Stewart rally on the National Mall. The Rally's staff has recieved more than 1,000 requests for press credentials for the event. Only 400 were given out.
Those statistics underscore just how much the media loves Stewart's leftist message (and it is a leftist message). For some perspective, consider that the September 12, 2010 Tea Party on the Mall received roughly 150 requests for press credentials, according to FreedomWorks, which sponsored the event.

Not Surprising ...IT IS THE STAR!
Court ruling on the niqab
Court compromises on niqab
A balancing of competing rights
Fri Oct 15 2010
Canadians have a constitutional right to a fair trial, but not to expect that Muslim women must take off their niqabs before testifying in court.
I would think that in order to create that balance that all people of all faiths should be extended the right to hide their identity, for all students to be able to carry ceremonial knives to school, that all construction workers be allowed to wear turbans, etc.
