“I thought Sling was one of those “pay for what you want” deals”

They advertised as being a la carte (pay for what you want) TV when they first got going, which was a pure lie. As with satellite or cable, you have to buy their basic package, then pay extra for the good stuff. So you wind up subsidizing CNN in their basic package along with other crapola you will never watch.

Last time I checked, they never offered Fox news, not even as an extra pay channel.

Well that’s a good start.

Now if only DirecTV and all other cable providers would drop that garbage too.

that the satellite giant only wanted to pay "a fraction" of what it paid English-language channels.

Wow the "race bating card" chunked down for all the wetback greazers who do not want to learn English.

GTF out of my State

How can that be considered a loss. Tell Jorge that Mexico is about to become a Socialist Paradise. Maybe he can get his followers to join him there. After all he claims there is no need for profit.

TV IS mostly crap ... but commercials are easy to skip with a DVR ... for those one or two things that might not be crap ...
