That is correct. Woe to any minority or woman who dares not bend their knee to the US Liberals.
I actually don't care much for Sun News. I'm a traditionalist, I like the CTV setup.
But while were on the topic, will someone tell Brian Lilley to get a haircut.
That swirl on top of his head reminds me of
Steady now...hair today, gone tomorrow.
p.s. I cut my hair for sport as you recall.
Pain is temporary, pride is forever.
For that apology, you got a thumbs up.
Although I find it odd that you apologize to Andem, but just ignore my posts when they trump your false hoods.
That's a lie. I don't find it odd at all.
I watched Levant once on that channel, and he was an intellectual lightweight. Not that I necessarily disagreed with him on some points, even many points, but found his defence of his position to be meagre at best.
I still agree with cutting funding to the CBC, but just saying that it's sad that so many would tune in to trash TV.
It's a fuking news channel, who cares? They're all biased in their own way and frankly none are worth watching considering you can get the news via the internet hours before it is broadcast.
Since all the rest are biased to the left...what is all the fuss about one biased to the right:smile:
I could care less to be honest, I don't watch any of them. It's up to the viewer to wade through the BS I suppose.
If you understand the ratings system and a survey you would quickly understand this is
little more than a joke. First of all surveys and broadcast ratings are done for economic
purposes. To Sell Advertising. This survey would not net the network one thin dime.
Sun News has limited range at best, among people who don't know what they are watching
or listening to half the time.
A ratings book would be held across the country and the official one is the Bureau of
Broadcast Measurement. The working of a ratings book go like this.
Every fifteen minutes the hour is counted. How? from 9 to 915 you are a listener from
915 to 930 you are two listeners and so on for each hour. By the time ten rolls around
if you fill out your ratings book for that stations you are four listeners. If you jump to a
different station you are 3 listeners for Sun and 1 listener for someone else.
A survey asks about 1500 people across the country what they think.
A Ratings period runs over six weeks with two weeks being the prime week for those
chosen to fill out their hourly and daily diary.
I agree Sun News could win a market share in a regional or even a city of Toronto survey
perhaps even a ratings diary in a specific market, but if you are trying to tell me that Sun
News is number 1 in Canada, you are delusional. For the moment CTV, CBC and Global
are likely the most watched. and will be for some time to come because nationally Sun
News simply does not have the resources to compete financially on a national level, not
yet at least anyway. For someone to make the statement especially if it was Sun News.
it like George Bush landing on the aircraft carrier saying Mission Accomplished in the
Middle East. We all know the truth about that now too don't we

You are correct in that CTV, CBC, Global etc dominate the ratings, but I certainly wouldn't count Sun out, they're backed by Quebecor, which has a substantial media presence in this country.
Levant blowing his own horn. I wonder if he practices yoga to be able to pull that off?
I heard Sue Ann Levy likes to blow his horn these days. They would make some remarkable children.
I'm sure if the ratings went the other way you would be on the very top of the bandwagon blowing the horn...
I don't think you are as neutral or centrist as you claim to be...your leaning is definitely showing through;-)
It was a joke Sleepy. A friend once said the only reason he would learn yoga was to be flexable enough to blow his own horn. Knowing him he would die doing it, draining himself dry.
