The brain killing commercials drove me away a long time ago. Always pushing drugs, fear, disease, death, and more fear....and anything else that will make people feel bad.
How about the brain-killing political correctness and social engineering in TV programming? I'd rather watch the classic TV shows on the antenna networks that show them.
I have cable back for a one year real good deal (almost over) because I wanted to listen to Washington Journal instead of the traitors on network news. When I give it up at the end of the year, they'll raise the monthly cost of my computer because I'll no longer be a "bundler". That's irritating.
One year of Washington Journal is enough.
