Canada considering banning Fox News from cable packages

[John_Jacob]

Except disagreeing with CRT means you do 2 things:

1. You disagree with reputable educators who set the school curriculum.

2. You ban ideas simply because you don't like them.

That's right, isn't it?

Instead of saying "There are various viewpoints in American history. We're going to teach them all. And if we don't like one of those viewpoints, we're going to teach it anyway and teach the students to assess it critically with reference to other, opposing points of view", you repress that entire point of view and that entire framework.

That's not a very fair and open-minded way of looking at history, is it?

1. ...as I use an example of a reputable educator of African American history. Huh. But hey, "Appeal to Authority" all you want instead of developing arguments.
2. I'm not banning any ideas. Why do you think I'm all powerful? If I'm so powerful, where do you think I am? Am I in the room with you right now saying, "I'm banning CRT"?

I think it's great that science is always changing and challenging its ideas.

Show me where "European doctors" have rejected gender affirming care - as opposed to being sometimes more cautious than some American doctors. I'll wait....

Crazy how you want everything to be so black and white, good and evil isn't it? No shades of gray. What does that say about your though process and critical thinking abilities.
They're rejecting Affirmation and moving back towards Watchful Waiting. This is not rejecting gender affirming care, it's making sure mental health issues are taken care of first, particularly in children [and I think particularly young teen girls who are most disadvantaged by social and social media pressure].

"But in Finland, Sweden, France, Norway, and the U.K., scientists and public-health officials are warning that, for some young people, these interventions may do more harm than good."

Weird how when it comes to mental health, one size - or medical treatment just in case you are a literal thinker - does not fit all, no matter how much you want it to in order to align to your orthodoxy.

Actually, I'm perfectly happy to let doctors deal with medical issues as they see fit. They're the experts.

Why would you think that I was not?.....

uhhmmm....are your reading comprehension skills so bad that you need me to tell you? Is this your credibility dripping away?

LOL.
You're getting worried now, aren't you?
That maybe you've been taken for a ride?

You produced this to prove your point, let's see what you think it actually is.

 

[JohnLarue]

Could be for spreading disinformation and arguably hate speech...

disinformation as define by who ?
a corrupt power hungry clown of a PM?
one who demonized those with views different than his?
Sorry, No
he is not qualified to decide what is truthful or not


you can always change the channel if you do not like FOX
The ladies on CNN look great, but I mute them to avoid the lefty bias

but you would prefer govt deciding what you can watch
more importantly, you would prefer govt deciding what others can watch

 

[krealtarron]

You do realize what the CRTC is all about, right? It's about protecting Canadian culture and regulating broadcasters. It has every right to ban ANY international channel. And, it isn't like they're blocking you from accessing Fox. I mean, I don't subscribe to that shit show, but I can easily access content from them if I so desired. Finally, how many people still have cable/satellite subscriptions???

Basically, this is just a lot of right-wing huffing and puffing. I'd actually be very interested in how many Canadian subscribers Fox actually has. I know it's included in some packages for news channels (so you get CNN, MSNBC, CBC, BBC, RT and Fox, or some sort of other grouping), but how many people pay for it a la carte?

Are they considering removing the Fox Channel from Canada itself or are they just removing it from standard pre-built packages? Meaning are users still able to opt in a la carte?

Fascist, communist no difference. All those cocksuckers are for censorship.

You back the 'don't say gay', book banning, ant trans people.
Don't say censorship is important to you.

Its a little early go all Godwin.

Good.
Ban fake news

 

[wigglee]

Why aren't you? You're for porn for kids, but no choice in news for adults??? Scratch a lefty, find a fascist.

Trans discussions are not porn. Are you in support of the whitewashing of black history? Do you not feel that a network that knowlingly broadcasts dangerous lies deserves to be penalized? Scratch a righty , find a homophobic, undemocratic racist.

1. ...as I use an example of a reputable educator of African American history. Huh. But hey, "Appeal to Authority" all you want instead of developing arguments.

These people understand more about the topic than you and I. Your argument is so dumb that it's like saying "I know more about space travel than NASA because I'm angry."

It's silly.

2. I'm not banning any ideas. Why do you think I'm all powerful? If I'm so powerful, where do you think I am? Am I in the room with you right now saying, "I'm banning CRT"?

You're not banning anything. The state legislatures are. C'mon at least TRY to make arguments here. You're making a fool of yourself.

Sooo you watch ladies on cnn for their looks? Wut? Is it after pornhub banned Utah?

When porn is banned in the red states, the righties will go back to jerking off looking at lingerie ads.

The US courts were going to determine that FOX broadcast misinformation knowingly, but they didn't want to be publicly exposed in detail so they settled by paying 800 million bucks. That is still an admission of guilt. I personally don't care if FOX is available because I wouldn't watch it anyway.

You have the choice not to watch it

The government mandated Covid shots. They told people what to put inside their body. Now they want to control everything people watch. I realize there are no independent news originations but adults should have the right to change the channel. Pretty soon they may place some people in re education camps. Utah did not ban porn, they just require age verification, just like stores do for booze. Who makes the decision on what to protect Canadian culture from? That is a snowball gaining speed as it rolls downhill. I know China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran, ban certain programs, but Canada, I never thought it possible.

The government also says we have to stop at stop signs, stop at red lights, not drive the wrong way on the highway or drive drunk.

You should protest all those government controls too.

You can just watch Fox News online, Stolen Valour. No one is removing your right to change the channel or watch what you want.

Pretty soon they may place some people in re education camps.

Might as well just say pretty soon they might just put a gun to their head and execute them if you're just going to invent more things. I know inventing things is your specialty, but there's no reason to think this is where things are headed.

Who makes the decision on what to protect Canadian culture from?

The same people who did it before now. This isn't new.

That is a snowball gaining speed as it rolls downhill. I know China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran, ban certain programs, but Canada, I never thought it possible.

I guarantee you no cable provider would be allowed to bundle Al Qaeda tv in Canada or the US either. This isn't a snowball gaining speed and your beloved USA does it too. It's been happening as long as media has existed.
