Your biggest problem is reading the Huffington Post to begin with. I tried to read that article but I must confess I gave up and could not finish it. When you recognize such bias in the first few words it doesn't take long to decide not too waist your time. If your view of the world is formed from what is written in that rag you are bound to grow more frustrated and bitter about the world.
Bottom line? All news stories are biased due to the human being reporting the story. You as an individual have to be able to discern your own opinion from the info given and recognize when a reporter is interjecting there own. If you can't do that, you end up reading an article like the one above and not seeing the obvious bias like the fact that the article title says "Fox Style News" and then the article talk's of a Canadian law that outlaws lying on the airwaves. The non-discerning among us can then assume Fox News Lies right. What garbage! Use your head for more that a hat hanger. A simple google search provided the following description of the real story:
There was a CRTC [the CRTC is best described as the Canadian version of the FCC] ruling recently making it more difficult for the Sun TV News (a network similar to FOX in Canada. They're welcome to broadcast, but the cable networks won't be required to carry them. THAT'S A DIFFERENT RULING.
THIS regulation, about "false and misleading news", has never been used, so it has nothing to do with keeping Faux News or any other channel out of Canada.
The CRTC wants to change this regulation, not for some nefarious reason, but because it's unenforceable. The existing wording could easily be challenged in court. Actually, leaving it unchanged is probably better for any News station and everyone else who wants to broadcast false and misleading news, because there's no enforceable rule against it.
Furthermore, it doesn't 'ban' FOX news at all. I get FOX news on my cable box. I was watching it yesterday. And "Canada refuses to repeal" is a little bit of an odd and uncomfortable wording for what actually happened. It was suggested to get rid of the law, and that suggestion was shot down. But there was no "refusing" of anything, this wasn't a gestapo interrogation.
Just another example of the Huffington Post being more concerned with slinging crap at Fox news than reporting real news......My opinion

That is obviously the opposite of "remedy".
Dude. I'm the resident hate the left guy here, and you make me look liberal. I hear there is some bat isht crazy that needs to be looked into... And rumor has it, that it might be you.
Fella, there is a difference between bias and fiction. An example of bias is reporting more news that is in favor of your views. Lying is reporting news that didn't actually happen.
There are many examples of Fox outright lying, there are many more examples of Fox "mistakenly" reporting incorrect info that they later retract (all the mistakes favor a certain viewpoint, conveniently), and there is, on a daily basis, a blurring between fact and opinion that Fox acknowledges by officially calling most of it's news "entertainment" leaving only a small handful of broadcast minutes of what Fox themselves will officially claim is "news."
No one is forbidding Fox from broadcasting in Canada. Afterall, they have similar freedom of speech and press to the US. They are forbidding them (and other media outlets) from labeling their programming something that it is not.
Sorry Joker, but to me your only a cheap fill in for $tinkle, FSM rest his soul.
Some bars are impossible to reach. That boy had some world hating issues.Sorry Joker, but to me your only a cheap fill in for $tinkle, FSM rest his soul.
Off the record, do you realize that Fox and Faux sounds awfully similar?
