One more thing: I'm sending and email and calling my cable company and telling them that the ONLY reason I have cable is because of FOX news. The fact is, most of the other programming on the other networks is repetitive and stupid. Same 6 movies shown over and over again, sometimes even back-to-back. And I'm talking about the non-pay channels (I don't have HBO or the other extras).
If there was no FOX, I'd get a DSL connection and just watch movies on DVD and get my news completely from the internet.
I'm sure many others agree with me. I hope they make their feelings known to their cable companies.

Four years ago in March, I really let our local/national cable company know my feelings. I cancelled our cable and went to Dish to get Fox News. 12 fellow conservatives did this in two days after months of trying to get the cable company to carry Fox News.
We carried our cable receivers in with our signed letter demanding cancellation of the cable service. We did that over a two day period. The manager refused to see any of us or talk to us. The poor lady who handled this, made the understament of the decade, "It is obvious that you are upset with us not carrying Fox News!"
At that time our cable was an AT&T owned company. I threatened AT & T with cancellation of our credit card and the use of AT & T on long distance services. We got some snide replies back that basically said "Stuff it!".
Then, we cancelled the credit card and went to another long distance phone provider.
We love Dish, don't miss the credit card, and are saving a ton of money with a different long distance provider.
