Ol’ Brian is livid, I tell you, boys ‘n’ girls, just livid! He must be still smarting from Justin Trudeau showing Senator Brazeau who’s boss in the boxing ring last week-end. Nah! He’s always been that wingnutty. Brian’s latest beef at the silly Lilley pad? A large Planned Parenthood complex

OK. I didn’t see the fight. My cable co. doesn’t carry Sun News. But I watched the tweets. Won a Tweet TKO of my own over Monte Solberg. And marvelled at Justin Trudeau winning in enemy territory. From what I can gather the broadcast was 40% climate change denial, 40%

Professionally angry midget Kathy Shaidle attempts to explain who’s who in the hinterland of Canadian “conservatism” to Sun News host Brian Lilley: Heh. By my estimation, Shaidle just slagged off about 90% of the “Bloggin’ Tories” in one form or another as not being REAL conservatives; at least that is,

Brian Lilley reads prepared remarks from Conservative party while Krista Erickson ponders the good ol’ days Judging by Lilley’s employer’s ratings, I’d say his statement is more than a little ironic, especially when you consider that Sun TV News serves at the exclusive pleasure of the ruling Conservative party. Plus,

Alright, I’m a bit late to this. Warren K carves Brian Lilley a new one in this Sun TV interview. Notice though how hard it is to cut through an ignorant asshole’s (Lilley’s) stream of bullshit. Many progressives think it can be done via elegant erudition. It can’t . WK knows

I’m beginning to think that John Doyle is Canada’s best social critic. His job may be to cover TV but his columns cut through the bullshit of so much more. It’s as if he’s talking for those of us on the outside without any national voice, a voice currently dominated

From the Owen Sound Sun Times: … it’s long overdue, says Lilly, whose personality, lively style and opinions — and hairdo–resonate with viewers. He’s the highest-rated TV host on the Sun News Network. The Ez won’t like hearing that, but its roughly in accord with Bureau of Broadcast Measurement numbers from

John Doyle has been doing a yeoman’s job of mocking Fox News North. Today’s gem is rife with true comedy, for which Doyle has a talent unlike his Sun News counterparts’ unintentional comedic style:Why, recently, Conservative MPs on the House of Co…

I haven’t had that much exposure to Fox News North but from what I’ve seen there’s obviously something fishy happening at that network which is symptomatic of a bigger issue with the North American right-wing male of the species. Listening to Brian Lilley’s chipmunk voice or recoiling from Mark Bonokoski’s lispy spittle or . . . → Read More: Sun News Network and the emasculation of the North American right wing

Love ya Al, but the background?Watch the Fox News North snippet of the interview. Brian ‘The 50’s worked for Elvis, why not for me’ Lilley thinks Al Gore is comparing Climate Change deniers with racists, a meme he no doubt picked up from the far right …

Dawg posted a video tonight I wish I had never seen. No, not a clip from the latest slasher flick. Worse. Michael Coren, using the meme begun by disgraced ‘historian’ David Starkey that it’s ‘not racism, it’s culture’, went on a riot of his own on Fox News North with Brian Lilley gleefully cheering him on. His rampage . . . → Read More: Michael Coren: “It’s not about race. It’s about culture”. Bullshit.

Dan Gardner calls this an “indecently enjoyable read”. I wholeheartedly agree. Too bad there is not more reporting like this about Fox News North (it really is).
