WHY are you paying leftists to propagandize you on ALL dish/cable to begin with?
Because the Powers That Be will not allow 'ala carte' Cable programming...................
Hows the cow business up in NH?
Stalin, Mao, and Pol-Pot were all LEFTISTS, and thus, part of the “protected classes”, who can never be objects of scorn, contempt, derision, nor hate. That would be politically incorrect, you see.
Because of Liberal Socialist DemoRat Degenerates, that's why.
Because the world is run by idiots (short answer)
** btw, in CANADA, pick-your-channel programming is coming Dec. 2106, after many years of complaints ... so maybe complaining works!
The reason why they always use Hitler as a reference is because they are low information thinkers who cannot think for themselves. Stalin was way worse than Hitler, based on the numbers each killed.
You don't. I haven't been subject to that for the last 10 years. OK, I did for 6 months when m'lady demanded getting cable TV, then realized it cost too much and we didn't watch it because the channels sucked and were full of ads.
$69 for an AppleTV box, $8/month for Netflix, $1-6/rental on iTunes. Way cheaper than "TV", no ads.
Why WHY WHY!!! is the dipstick tube in my truck designed to float outside the engine block without actually being attached to said engine block?
Dipstick tube? I drive an electric car. No oil.
Why am I seen as a wild eyed murderer for supporting the death penalty for killers but not for babies?
1. Those doing the seeing don't differentiate between themselves and the wild eyed murderer but for actually acting it out.
2. Out of sight, out of mind.
Why is it OK for children to be assaulted in US protectorates in the Middle East but when I tell a young lady she looks nice today I'm worse than Hitler.
1. Out of sight, out of mind.
2. You're the designated enemy of some.
Why am I always worse than Hitler and not worse than Stalin
Innumeracy is rampant. Some believe 0 > 12,000,000 and (simultaneously) 0 < 32,000,000. Remember the end of "1984"? "2+2=5".
Why am I paying for two PBS channels, being taxed at the same time, that show the same british crap simultaneously?
Don’t have a cow, man
ROKU. I don’t miss cable or satellite.
WHY are you buying cable?
WHY do you bring filth into your home?
You wipe your boots before you come in don’t you?
It’s OK to vent on FR. Hope you feel better.
Regarding your TV complaint, I’m in full agreement which is why we have no cable or satellite. Our last service was cable, and out of the 200 plus channels we typically watched about 2 - 3 hours a day on two or three of them. The rest were just plain crap.
We now watch Netflix via ROKU, which is advertising free. For 8 bucks a month you get unlimited streaming. Then if we want we can get local channels with a tv antennae. Then ROKU has many free or pay as you go channels.
I too’d be pissed if I was supporting leftist trash on the TV.
>> Why do I have to spend a large sum of my hard earned money for 13 foreign language channels on my basic cable package? <<
Where I live, there are also about a dozen foreign language channels in the basic cable package. But they aren’t true “cable” channels because every one of them is available for free over the air from local TV stations. I suspect the situation is the same for your cable system.
Moreover, if my understanding is correct, the cable operators are required by the FCC’s “must carry” rules to include these local stations in their “basic” packages without any extra charges. The cable operators don’t like these rule, but the broadcasters’ political influence has been too powerful to permit a change. So your complaint probably should be against the broadcasters, rather than against the cable operators.
