Gimme some of those ole fashioned numbers

I've been following the dissertations of a near-journalist-scorned over at Big City Lib where he directs us to Donna Laframboise's latest offering on the demise of Fox News North and her whining about how objection to it finally led to that effort's failure to achieve a rare class 1 cable license.

I never really paid much attention to her in the past. Her claim to fame, or whatever it is she has a claim to, is cherry-picking bits of information in an effort to prove there is no consensus amongst scientists on global climate change. In scientific circles she garners a great deal of laughter.

Her initial offerings slammed Quebecor and Kory Teneycke for, as M.J. calls it, seducing and abandoning her. Her latest one makes a big deal about how Avaaz, (and possibly a heavily armed Margaret Atwood), crushed the defenceless right-wingers of SunTV.

No mention is made of the activities of Kory Teneycke and the strong allegation that he was either party to or had knowledge aforethought of a criminal act of fraud. (Back to that cherry-picking thing Donna is apparently so good at.)

Who knows how good she would have been at twisting facts on SunTV. I personally think she would have been marvelous.

But if Canadian cable providers have been obliged, for the past decade, to offer a channel serving the 10% of the population that is homosexual why should a station serving the 50% of the population that votes conservative not receive an equivalent deal?

Holy frack! How many?!!
No wonder people laugh at her. In the last election less than 26% of the population voted Conservative. In fact, no political party received 50% of the vote.

You couldn't get 50% of Canadians to vote in a single block for anything except maybe oral sex, but that's on another channel.

I am rather saddened that we won't get to see her on SunTV. What a great target!
