Great, now we'll get contaminated with repub'o'vision. Personally I hate FOX from what Ive heard of its style of reporting, But I guess I support the chance that people can get their news from all angles.

Last month Al-Jezzeara was aloud in Canada, but no distributors have decided to use it yet.

On a similar note, I think any channel should be allowed in canada, be it fox news or the young communist channel, everyone has the right to watch what they want.

I'd have to disagree. A channel that preaches hate, racism, etc., should not be allowed to broadcast in Canada.

Why do you need the government to tell you what to watch though? Let people chose, i'm sick of the government telling me whats right for my family.

I am for broadcasting freedom as long is it managed slightly. I mean what if a neo nazi group started a channel against Jewish people, what if KKK started a channel against people of African decent? I think as long as there isn't a message threating or promoting violence against a certain group then it should be aloud. People should censor their own TV, not rely on the government, because they can't do it with out stepping on somebodies toes.

It's too much of a hard issue for the government to pick a side on. You could ban it and say that it is propoganda, but then you are against freedom of speech. You could allow it but it leads to people being ignorant pricks. I say sensor your own TV if you want, or if you dont want
