Cable companies have had an evil incestuous relationship with politicians (especially big city types) since the 60s, as they “purchased” exclusive rights to territories.

Their huge profits let them run propaganda channels like MSNBC and CNN without any worry about those networks being profitable.

There was some hope when satellite started cutting into their markets, but the consumer desire for broadband internet kind of helped them out.

Choose another cable company other than Comcast or Time -Warner whenever possible from here on out even though they want to become a monopoly and will not be stopped by the current traitor in chief. The only wayto stop these types is to remove their $$$$$$

????? All the satellite companies also carried MSNBC and CNN.

OTOH, cable companies carry FOX news and FOX business and Bloomberg.
