Latest TV ratings show (as always) Fox News Channel way on top in U.S.; CBC way on bottom here

It’s time for one of PTBC’s favorite pastimes!  The TV ratings!  Liberals are against this. 

Fox News Channel, when it’s offered on the same availability level as all the others (which it ISN’T here in Canada, where CBC is mandated by LAW, and FNC is only available on digital at extra cost —by order of the liberals’ CRTC division and liberals), almost DOUBLES the viewership of CNN and more than doubles all the others. 

Liberals constantly mock Fox News Channel (it’s because FNC actually allows conservatives to say things!), but the reality is that it’s by far the best news channel, and by far the most popular.  Here in Canada, news media never refer to or use Fox News Channel stories as sources for news, always CNN and others.  Why is that, when Fox News Channel is the most popular?  Weird, huh?

Naturally a comparison here in Canada between CBC Newsworld and CTV Newsnet and FNC is impossible because as I said, CBC is mandated by law, and like CTV is on the regular cable tier, and FNC is not. 

MEANWHILE HERE IN CANADA: Once again we can see where the state-owned, socialism-reliant, federally taxpayer-funded to the tune in excess of ONE BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR media, the CBC, is a total loser in this country, getting onto the top-20 ratings map only with a hockey game, as usual.  Oh thank God taxpayers are forced to dole out A BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR so hockey can be seen on the CBC instead of, say CTV or Global, huh?

And it once again proves that all those COUNTLESS HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS spent over the decades by liberal-left governments trying to create a state-mandated love for a state-created, funded, nurtured, and foisted-upon-us “Canadian Culture” and “artists” has resulted in A TOTAL WASH, remeniscent of the “STIMULUS PACKAGES” the liberal-left is foisting on us all, again, today.  All the top shows are American shows (except hockey, which is arguably supported by and is as much American as Canadian).
