Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's failed attempt to repeal the country's Radio Act that prevents false and misleading news on television and radio (a repeal would have allowed the launch of Sun TV News, dubbed the Fox News of Canada). Cenk and Ana debate if the United States should have something like the Radio Act.

  • Disagree with you Cenk; the Radio Act is fantastic, and diligently implemented.

    A lie repeated often enough becomes truth; there's no way to fight the flood of bullshit passed off as fact, which is one way Creationism survives in the US. Without holding Broadcasters responsible for what they pass off as "News" and "Fact", viral bullshit spreads.

    It's fine to have an opinion show, but once that show starts spreading BS to its audience (ie. "Death Panels" and "Obamacare"), they get a "FUCK NO!".

  • I LOVE being a Canadian

  • We don't have complete freedom of speech in Canada! It is against the law to spread hateful speech as it should be. We have standards of how we should behave and if a bigot tries to make his or her beliefs made known, they will go to jail!!!

  • Sun News finally came together and is a channel. They have good conservative hosts that tend to keep it a little more clean than Fox. I have no problem with them existing. Also: we are not americans which is why this law works in Canada and why NO law works in the US.

  • @Andycathunter9999 Wow, Youtube is not allowing my link to be posted... SOPA is already in action obviously.

  • This dame has Stockholm syndrome! She loves big government running her life. I have a brain to think with unlike anyone that gives her any credibility.

  • TAz68x: This great Country was founded by supporters or your so-called "Creationism". Feel free to believe the BS "created" by some inbreed that loved slaughtering birds in his spare time.... yes, that would be your beloved Charles Darwin. Make yourself useful and try looking it up sometime.

  • @Harry182182 please do

  • FOX News being fair and balanced, is liked reporting four shots to the head, as a suicide.

  • Bull. Infringement on free speech. Ana, and that dreadful Michael Shure, have on a few occasions agreed with restrictions on free speech rights. At least Cenk is intelligent enough to set the record straight.

  • @LilacStar82 Pas vraiment...

  • @Matticus333 why so those faggot liberals could get in
