Sun News Network releases its first TV ads, and they’re totally Ford-tacular
Canadians can be forgiven for thinking this new commercial for Sun News Network is just another Tory election ad. The rest of SNN’s clips can be seen here, but if we’re measuring by sheer density of Rob Ford–ish conservative talking points (seriously, “political correctness”? Is it 1996?) this one’s is by far the strongest. As for comment, we really can’t do better than the Ottawa Citizen’s Dan Gardner, who tweeted, “Every brain-deadening cliché of right-wing faux populism squeezed into 30 seconds. Well done, Sun!”
Scum News Network: we’re on your side.
And by “your” we mean, if you are a soulless billionaire or corporation.
Thank God there will be a network like Fox news in Canada I hope many Canadians who enjoy watching Fox news network will tune into Sun News TV.
Articles such as this are the reason I no longer purchase or read Toronto Life mag. Noses-in-the-air, elitist snobs need not apply to Sun News.
A great commercial. I have no doubt that it is going to kick butt in the news business, probably in multiples of what the CBC & CTV are doing.
Can’t wait for news that isn’t condescending, elitist lefty bull shit.
Ii shouldn’t take long to figure out how the Sun News Network sees the world. I can’t wait to see what stance it takes on gun control,the environment, defence, the rights of minorities, abortion, taxes and a host of important issues. Maybe it will surprise us by not trying to turn back the clock on social progress. Unfortunately the ads for the network seem to indicate otherwise.
