Fox News North (ugh) Hires It's First Attractive Blonde Anchor, More to Come

[Metric System]

***CBC television journalist Krista Erickson appears to be the latest “Fox News North” acquisition.

Blond, attractive and dating a politician who is a few years her senior — Calgary Conservative MP Lee Richardson — Ms. Erickson has been a controversial figure on Parliament Hill.***

I guess the CBC wasn't full of Commie Pinkos after all.

1. I am saddened that Canada will now be torn apart by this propaganda.

Not only will you get blonds but they will stoke hatred, spew lies all day long and organize their political people through their station. They will bash health care also.

2. All the usual right-wing suspects in the Sun are gung-ho on this...:P

Coren, Worthington, you know the gang...

And the letters in today's Ottawa Sun were deplorable (as in so bad that the satire value is $0.25 well-spent..I buy it to read the sports coverage and laugh with co-workers about the other stuff).

One dumbfuck went on about Christianity, praised Glen Beck for reclaiming America for Christ, and went on some nonsensical tirade about the CBC and Islamism. The other idiot complained about the fact that tax money was being spent on CBC Radio doing "a human interest piece" about an Aboriginal apartment burning down when he "tuned in", which likely meant he randomly fell upon it for 30 seconds while playing with his radio dial and heard the word "Nunavut" or "Mohawk".
