The tough part is when you boycott it all, your boycott becomes 100% ineffective. (Which is not to say that youre boycott wouldn’t have personal benefits.) But if you punish the decent programming with the bad programming, they just decide you’re unreachable and give up on you.
(IOW: The Amish never affected a programming decision.)
The problem: Is there any good TV?
There is almost no good TV. It is a form of control and manipulation. Most Americans will stick with TV and let their kids be sold into serfdom because they cannot miss American Idol or a ball game.
If 30 million people cancelled cable/sat TV then we might get some unbiased TV news coverage. FOX is around 15%(?) owned by Saudis. They are the money behind getting O elected.
