Canada’s Shaw Direct satellite TV may pull Fox News over RedEye joke

May 14, 2009 By admin

Idiotic.

As I explained before, Greg Gutfeld’s jokes about the Canadian military on his Fox News show RedEye were widely misunderstood by idiots. They were NOT anti-military; Greg Gutfeld is very pro-military.

Now comes this:

I write to draw your attention to a situation I just encountered with Shaw Direct (the satellite TV provider formerly known as Star Choice). Returning from a short business trip my daughter advised me that there was a “message” from Shaw and I could read it on the TV.

The message advised me that in response to complaints (unnumbered and unspecified) about some disparaging comments about Canada’s military folks made by a Fox News show personality, Shaw had decided that those persons subscribing to Fox News would have until May 18 to affirm their desire to continue their subscription to that Channel or else it would be shut off.

This struck me as outrageous on so many levels…

Thank God I get Fox News on Rogers Cable.

However, if you want to ask Shaw Cable just what they’re thinking, read Kate’s link here for the whole story, then consider contacting Shaw Cable:
