quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity Again, Supposed "lies" arent the point here quote: ORIGINAL: Politesub53 Blatant lies are not the same as oppositional speech. The notion that that fact iritates you doesnt surprise me one bit. Nor does the fact you dont know the meaning of the word fascist. Again, supposed lies are exactly the point. Why do you suport such a practice ?

Just go for the title of the two threads, one is an actual Headline, one is NOT supposed lies are all some have

quote: Leftists have a strong fascist streak generally, and are always seeking to ban any form of speech that they feel threatens their failed ideology it annoys me no end that so many of my compatriots in the gop feel the need to lie in order to support their ideology. why can't we just speak the truth and let our ideas stand or fall on that?

They're not banning free speech, they're regulating what can be said during newscasts. By that logic America banned free speech long ago when they decided you couldn't say "fucking cunt shit pig" during newscasts.

Which means your government now censors political speech. Ask Mark Steyn about it.

Which means your government now censors political speech. Ask Mark Steyn about it. Trucker. Come on man. Something is either true or it isnt. when people use video and purport it to be protestrs in Minnesota in February and there's people in shorts with palm trees in the background, someting's fishy. When people post videos of protestors in Moscow and the writing on all the signs is in Greek, somethings fishy. Either FOX lies a lot or they put a whole new definition on the word incompetent. I'm not saying that CNBC and MSLSD don't do the same thing but the topic is about Fox and if we don't stay strictly with the topic, it gets pulled. By the way, welcome back man. Been a while. ETA. My understanding of what I have read about those crazy Canucks is that you can tell all the political lies you want as long as you say "This is an editorial" What they don't like is a whole news station just doing political speech without regard for facts which is, unfortunately, what some American stations on both sides are doing. If I'm wrong, will a Canadian set me straight eh?

quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity Again, Supposed "lies" arent the point here Why not? Canada refuses to permit lies. Your position seems to be that this is prejudicial. Are you trying to make the case that conservatives lie and liberals don't, so that discrimination against lying is biased? Or is it that both lie, but you only consider conservative lies to be okay? Exactly what about lying do you consider praiseworthy?

I find it interesting that they didnt do their homework to find out exactly what they are complaining about.

Censoring political speech would, in fact, be restricting speech. What disturbs me is the assumption here that all conservatives lie, or that everyone on Fox lies. What about Alan Combs, Bob Beckel, Joe Jackson, Susan Estridge? None of them are conservatives, and they are on Fox. Also, if you watch Fox (which of course I do on occasion) you would see that on every segment, there is a liberal as well as a conservative. You don't see this on the other networks. I personally wouldn't call it balanced, but it's more frequent than the mainstream media does it.

quote: Censoring political speech would, in fact, be restricting speech. And the news is not political speech...or at least shouldn't be. Now, if Fox wants to air political speech, that's permitted. It just can't call it "the news."

Canada isn't banning political speech. they are banning deliberate lies colored as news. Political speech can be (and usually is LOL) lies. All you have to do is say "This is a paid announcement in support of Joe Liar for Congress" and you're golden. Unfortunately, the main mission of FOX has gotten away from news and become primarily "Political Speech". There's a little thing called truth in labeling. I can't sell horsemeat and call it Angus Beef and that's what some of our news stations are trying to do to us.

quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic hmmmmm no one is banning free speech, no matter how you spin, parse or distort it the CRTC stopped a corporation (who doesnt have the same rights as a person), from lying to canadians for profit. quote: Banning oppositional speech or opinion is fascist Fascists work to overturn free speech rights its not even close to fascist but dictionary definitions dont seem to matter much The term Fascism was first used of the totalitarian right-wing nationalist regime of Mussolini in Italy (1922–43); the regimes of the Nazis in Germany and Franco in Spain were also Fascist. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach from the oxford english dictionary http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fascism And Mussolini once said that fascism could be better accurately termed corporatism. He also said that fascism... "believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism -- born of a renunciation of the struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have courage to meet it. All other trials are substitutes, which never really put men into the position where they have to make the great decision -- the alternative of life or death...." http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/mussolini-fascism.asp Sounds more like the war mongers and corporatists are embracing fascism than anybody on the left.

Two.. maybe... but go look back at how many apologies Fox has had to make for their erroneous reporting. Never mind, I did it for you. Im all helpful like that... sometimes. No US national news media broadcasts from Canada. Likely never will. Why do you presume to tell another country what they can or cannot do?

Notsweet -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 10:26:44 PM)
I don't recall that Fox falsified documents, as CBS did, or set cars on fire, like ABC did.

Notsweet -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 10:28:26 PM)
Just wondering, Tazzy...is there a reason for the sarcastic and condescending tone you're taking with me? I thought I'd been very polite. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Lucylastic -> RE: Fox Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts (1/14/2012 10:28:40 PM)
Free speech has not been abolshed which was my point I am more than well aware we have hate speech laws, however that has been the case since WAY before this particular incident. IM perfectly fine with that, When someone says from this incident that Canada has ABOLISHED FREE SPEECH. its bull. PLUS a corporation(as yet) does NOT Have the personhood rights that REAL people have THANK GOD altho that might change under the waster we have now
