Would you like me to tell you why? It has nothing to do with Fox News. The fact is that Canada has legistlation which prevents too many American shows, of any kind over there. I think it was 60% of all media has to be Canadian produced. Jerrek might know more. When I was there I noticed it and the friend I was staying with told me about it. DirectTV (The North American satelite system) works perfectly well in Canada, but it is illegal. Some people there have cloned DirectTV boxes (so they can get good channels like HBO), but they risk serious trouble if they are caught.

I dislike him as a person for what he has done in the past. Unless he suddenly has an epiphany and changes his values, I don't think it is liable to change much.
With his films, I don't disagree with him, purely to disagree because I hate him. Because I despise him, doesn't mean he is any less right or wrong about something. I take it on a point by point basis. I always read both sides, Moore's, and the anti-Moore's, then I think what I think is the most likely to be true.
