On Friday (May 2004), O'Reilly took exception to reports that he is an "ultra-conservative" and that he does not like Canada. In recent days, the outspoken American TV personality has been involved in a running dispute with Toronto's Globe & Mail newspaper, and in particular its TV columnist, John Doyle, who wrote that Fox News should be allowed on Canadian cable and satellite services because viewers in this country could use a good laugh.

... O'Reilly resents the image he has in Canada of a "right-wing loon who is running around out of control."

The CRTC approved Fox for digital pay-TV and we started getting him in the winter of 2005 on a 3-month free preview. That lasted a year. And not just because it seemed that way ...

The antagonism of (the former Liberal) government toward Fox News became apparent in recent years when the CRTC readily approved broadcasts of the pro-terrorist Al-Jazeera network on its cable channels while banning Fox News.

I reproduce that because it's a lie, of course:

Lately it seems that the right-wing American media have been having their panties snapped back at them by the CBC's news programme, The Fifth Estate. In an episode entitled "Sticks and Stones", Bill O'Reilly was crying on (and on) about how the CRTC banned his 'news' show "The O’Reilly Factor", then went on to create 'facts' to back up his claims.

Surely Bill will be defending to the death ...


By the way -- if you haven't seen Sticks and Stones ... and if you enjoy watching Ann Coulter make a complete fool of herself ... you can view the full 42 minutes of fun with the right-wing USAmerican media as seen from up here on line:

Or you have the option of just watching the fabulous three minutes in question.
