Fox News? Not in our henhouse

By Peter Worthington -- For the Toronto Sun

Why is Fox News banned from Canada yet CNN isn't? Is it, as some suggest, because Fox News is conservative while CNN is liberal and more acceptable to Canada's governing CRTC?

Or is it accidental, because CNN was first on the all-news scene?

Whatever the reason, in the U.S., Fox News has left CNN in its wake and is, arguably, becoming more influential than the establishment networks which also lean left.

Whenever I return from an extended visit in the U.S. (we have family there) I feel withdrawal pangs because Fox News is denied access to Canada.
