Fox News does not air in Canada. It could. But it doesn't. Why? Because Canada has a law that forbids lying in broadcast news. Says a lot, doesn't it?
After witnessing the 'reporting' coming from Wisconsin by Fox News recently; the lies, distortions, and deliberate falsifications, a similar law in this country seems overdue.
Tucker Carlson recently 'reported' in a Fox News, Special Report on March 9, that public employees in Wisconsin ".....make more than you do, right, these public sector employees, they can never be fired, their benefits are things you can't even imagine, and by the way, they won't even consider taking any kind of cut in the face of the worst recession in our lifetimes and they expect you to pay for it."
Every statement is a deliberate lie. Not mis-informed, not exaggerated, not a distortion - a deliberate lie that anyone with access to the internet could easily reveal.
If Tucker Carlson and Fox News spewed this sort of deliberate, dishonest propaganda in Canada they would be prosecuted. Now there's an idea.
