Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canadian regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canadas right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news. Canadas Radio Act requires that a licenser may not broadcast ... any false or misleading news. The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.
