Canwest fights global war on satire despite threat of bankruptcy

→Canadian Foreign Policy, →Video

On 6-7, evil-doing satirists spoofed one of Canwest Global's shining towers of truth—the Vancouver Sun.

Canwest, Canada's largest media company, has launched a Global War on Satire to ensure that fundamentalist fanatics don't threaten its sacred freedom to monopolize media or mock its profound pro-Israel and neo-conservative bias.

Brave Canwest is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy but it will never abandon the War on Satire. The pernicious parodists will have to pull this SLAPP suit from Canwest's cold dead hand.

Canwest needs you to support their War on Satire. Watch and share the newsreel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho8FHLsBny0
