Okay then FOX News is good for democracy.
It shows that news organizations have free speech (and are biased).
It shows a different point of view (when ignoring others).
I do think it rather foul to allow Al-Jazeera and not Fox News.
Use Logic Or STFU!!!

ok so fox news isn't actually banned then, they chose not to attempt to meet the specified criteria.Originally posted by j2k4@10 August 2004 - 19:51
FOXNEWS evidently gave up the ghost due to concerns that further attempts to gain access would be met with more of these little road-blocks.
In any case, it is not my intent to discuss the viablity of FOXNEWS in Canada, but to stick to the stated topic per the header.
to the original post i feel that fox news is no less worthy as any other news station when it comes to reporting current events. Perhaps they may have bias in 'features' in the same way cnn or the bbc could be accused of but as a NEWS channel i see no difference in any of them.

I just saw Bill O on the tube last night and he didn't appear to be frothing at the mouth any more than usual...has he been informed?
Why?

Do you know everything? do you know 3% of everything? Could it be that what you don't believe in is in the other 97%?

FoxNews is banned in Canada? Well, I'd better go tell my television that then. It apparently hasn't been brought up to date.
Edit: And no, I don't have satellite television or digital cable.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

It is kind of a loaded question IMO because of the making of the point that Al jazeera is/was shown (i am taking J2s word for this because Al jaz been shut down in Iraq) and Fox isn't (on cable at least)Originally posted by j2k4@10 August 2004 - 16:52
Well?
What about it?
Keeping in mind, of course, that FOXNEWS is now banned in Canada, though Al Jazeera is welcomed; if Canada doesn't like it, it must really be bad, huh?
To say that fox is "banned" was very misleading to say the least, false to say the facts.
Canada already has several news stations from other western countries so i think the question would have been more valid if it had been
Is broadcasting Al jazeera good for "free speech" ?
I can't see the democracy connection

Fox News' effect on democracy... that's pretty difficult to gauge. i find it difficult, anyway, when it's shown in a country that already has democracy or a variation thereof. i imagine that a more obvious test would be to broadcast it in a country that has no democracy and then see whether democracy "happens." then you could draw a correlation between X amount of Fox News and Y amount of democracy.Originally posted by vidcc@11 August 2004 - 08:05

Would that you applied the same scrutiny to the statements of Mr. Kerry?
There is a great link in WN&E that I would love to have you parse.

I still don't understand the question. In what way would Foxnews be "good for democracy".
