Sun News may offer needed jolt to TV scene

At a press conference in Toronto, Quebecor president Pierre-Karl Peladeau and vice-president of development Kory Teneycke assured reporters that Sun News won't be anything like CBC ( "boring news by bureaucrats for elites and paid for by taxpayers," Mr. Teneycke sniffed), or CTV (much of the same, just not paid for by taxpayers). It might be a little like LCN, Quebecor's French-language TV outlet, but it won't be nearly as much like Fox News as all those hyperventilating lefties would have you think -- except, one assumes, in that, like Fox, it will soon be kicking the living snot out of its lamestream competitors in the ratings department.

What will Sun News be doing, then? "We're taking on the mainstream media," said Mr. Teneycke. "We're taking on smug, condescending, often irrelevant journalism. We're taking on political correctness."
