MORE GOOD NEWS: The CRTC today approved Fox News' application to begin broadcasting into Canada. Of course, CTV describes Fox News as a "right-wing" news operation without ever describing the bias of all the other networks.

The Canadian Cable Telecommunications Association applied to the CRTC in April for permission to carry Fox News to Canadians with digital cable, satellite or wireless television service.

The CCTA said Thursday they were pleased with the decision, saying Fox "provides Canadians with a different perspective on world events," and "is an excellent complement to the current Canadian digital line-up."

We'll still have to put up with al-Jazeera but at least we have Fox News. Other good news? The NFL Network was also approved!
