By Montreal Simon Oh dear. What a dilemma eh? I just created my very own Con Klown Hypocrisy Award. But now I can’t seem to decide who is this week’s winner. So please help me out . Here are the candidates in no particular order: (1) PHILLIP HINKLE, the 64-year old Republican State Representative from […]
No Murdoch-style scandal in Canada, you say?
By Alison@Creekside We’ve been getting a lot of stories from our media lately (here, here, and here), assuring us that an equivalent to the Rupert Murdoch scandal couldn’t possibly happen in Canada. Really? No cozy incestuous relationships? No dirty tricks? On March 30, 2009, Stephen Harper, PMO staffer Kory Teneycke, Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox […]
Revisited: Sun TV’s Ezra problem
With the Sun News Network lately embarked on a jihad against government funding of the arts, it might be worth remarking: at least when artists are given money, they do what they’re supposed to do with it. On the other hand, we have the example of SNN costume rack Ezra Levant, who, when he shut […]
On Sun TV and Margie Gillis
On June 1, 2011, the Sun News Network broadcast an interview with veteran Canadian dancer and choreographer Margie Gillis (see link below), which quickly turned abusive towards the guest.

Really, Kory Teneycke, that’s all it took?
By Frank Moher Seriously, Kory Teneycke, that’s all you’ve got? Avaaz.org gets 80,000 of the left’s more suggestible adherents to sign its petition against SunTV, manages to rebrand your nascent operation “Fox News North,” and raises $110,000 in the process, and you step down? That’s all it took? Do you think your spiritual forefather, Roger […]
Sun TV: Teneycke’s cat and dog show
By Alison@Creekside Here’s Korncob Kory Teneycke on CBC’s Power and Politics on Friday, stating that his baby, Quebecor’s Fox News North, never asked the CRTC for a must-carry licence—the kind that would require cable and satellite providers to include the channel in their basic package: “We are not nor have we ever asked for mandatory […]
Sun TV vs. Avaaz and Atwood: who’s the real hate-monger?
By Frank Moher Sure we should wonder what Stephen Harper was doing having lunch with Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes in New York last year.
