Fox News North Gets Sued!

Sources tell me that Ottawa human rights lawyer Richard Warman has launched a defamation suit against Sun TV. His suit pertains to an episode of Michael Coren's The Arena on which fellow Sun TV employee Ezra Levant guested. I have also learned that Kathy Shaidle of Five Feet of Fury has been served as well; I believe this is for hosting the episode in question on her blog.

This may be history in the making. Unfortunately, George Soros abandoned his suit after Fox News North issued a grovelling apology, so this will almost certainly count as the first one to go forward against the struggling network.

Note: I should note that Soros actually threatened to sue the T.O. Sun for a column Ezra wrote; he did not sue Sun TV.

Sun TV Anchors TVA Earnings--As In Holding Them Down

"The Television sector's financial results for the fourth quarter of 2011 were again affected by the operating losses of the three specialty channels launched in 2011: TVA Sports, SUN News and, to a lesser extent, Mlle," commented Pierre Dion, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

Still no official news re Ezra Levant's "Freedom Weekend", other than it sounds as though it never did sell out.  I am also hearing rumours that Ezra was going from table to table and asking people "Are you going to finish that?"  Gathering what free calories he could, in other words.
