Yes, but what does any of that have to do with a contract dispute between Dish and Fox News?

I have no doubts that hussein (along with Soros and Buffett) are somehow behind this. The goal of the regime is to stamp out sources of truth. The evil, illegal occupant of the White House manipulates a lot behind the scenes to achieve their ends.

Of course you could be right...but recently the Turner channels dropped off of DISH. That includes CNN.

It’s all about the money.

He’s got nothing to do with it. This is a standard rights fee dispute. Every year one of the major carriers and one of the networks get in this pissing contest where the network wants more money than the carrier is willing to pay to the point where the contract ends and the network is taken off the carrier. Then the customers bitch and moan and the carrier caves in. 2 years ago my carrier (Cox) got into this with CBS during the NFL playoffs, unfortunately for Cox they had a preplanned rate hike that went into effect 3 days into the CBS blackout, you should have seen their Facebook page. These arguments happen all the time, and the carrier always loses, and the network always gets the money they want, usually it lasts less than a week, A&E and DirecTV got in one that lasted months though.
