I can't say I'm terribly surprised. I don't recall ever really seeing a non-commentary news program on the channel (though, I also don't really watch it very much at all). I wouldn't have a concern with a channel that was 100% commentary... my only problem is when commentary is presented as news (i.e. the FoxNews model).

LOL, even in the face of facts still gonna look towards Fox news as the "evil lying one". Can't say I'm terribly surprised.

Commentary presented as commentary is never the problem, on FoxNews or MSNBC or wherever. The problem is where commentary is presented as news, and always has been. I believe that this is what causes viewers of FoxNews to be the most ill-informed:

(since we're talking about "facts", this is always a nice one to put on the table)

Is it the fault of the channel if the viewer cannot tell the difference? Personally, I don't watch Fox or MSNBC. I just like that it is coming to light how MSNBC is just as bad, wait, worse than FOX. Makes me smile.

Ah - partially true.

American news is so sensationalized no matter what you watch basically, it makes CTV, and Global (Conservative Canadian news organizations) look like leftess socialist networks.
