There have been many analysis of late suggesting the shrill commentators on Fox News - as opposed to their regular news folk - are actually a hindrance rather than a help to the Republicans these days.
I think that's probably true.
And I'm not seeing how "Ed" on MSNBC is helping Democrats any.
A merger of the Liberals and NDP does nothing but help the Tories in my opinion.

No . . . . we're actually not boring.
If anything, particularly after the Olympics, we're getting hipper by the hour, including the nut-crunching French Canadian girl on Chuck the other day. And it's getting that way because our hundred year long bout of inferiority is giving way to something new . . . . we just don't give a crap what people think anymore, witness the complete lack of angst at the same Olympics over the American medal count.

and I think the channel (even though I would subscribe) would be a complete snore fest for the most part. Where as with FNC; Oreily, Hannity, and Beck are if anything at least interesting to watch on a nightly basis

Well, I guess you have to get your 'excitement' where you can.
I'm not seeing why Canadians would be different than Americans in a natural propensity to gravitate to the loudest, rudest, most obnoxious and outrageous bags of wind on the air.
Witness the success of Don Cherry.
We're all human, no matter what flag we wrap around ourselves.
