"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." Jonathan Swift
Knowing how very stupid most of the Republicans are I can't help but think that this quote by Swift has been actualized.
With their obstructionist practices, outright lies and media propaganda--such as Faux News which is banned in Canada & other countries d/t the majority of blatant falsehoods being broadcast to our US sheeple it should be obvious how deviant they are & how they depend on low information candidates, legislators & voters. The authors of ALEC know this and rally their sheeple against President Obama and other progressives.

The CRTC regulations apply only to Canadian broadcasters using Canadian airwaves; they do not apply to the Fox News Channel, which is a non-Canadian entity transmitted via satellite and cable, not broadcast over public airwaves.

"such as Faux News which is banned in Canada " <- quoting your post.
Just admit that you fell victim to a lie spread on the internet and amend the post.
