Ah so finally, it should be good to have some favourable journalism in Canada.

We'll just see if there's an appetite for hyper-partisan news in Canada.
Personally, I doubt it.

You should wait until it airs at the very least before you judge it.
They've hired Kinsella and Levant.
Balanced enough for you ?

No, it just proves my point about it being a hyper-partisan network. But I'll wait before passing final judgement.

If it's Hyper Partisan BS like Fox, I hope Canadians refuse to watch it. We don't need "Press" which only destroys the legitimacy of the Press.

But there should nothing wrong having a privately funded network broadcast, unless, some groups feel threatened by opposing opinions being presented to the populace.

News stations are supposed to report the news, not have a pre-determined political agenda. Very sad. I'd say the same thing if someone was starting a left-of-centre news station.
As for Rick Mercer tearing them down, I say the opposite. He and the rest of Canada should give them as little attention as possible.

They should be forced to not call it a news channel. What they propose is nothing more than a gonzo editorial channel, not a news reporting channel. I for one won't watch it simply because it isn't a news channel, it's a special interest channel no different from OUTtv or GreenTV. I hope it goes the way of the dodo bird.
