Chicken Noodle News

I like that but prefer Cartoon News Network. It says they are a joke and fit only for small children who don't know any better.

Most mom and pop shops or franchise restaurants if they are going to put on any news it’ll usually be CNN since it’s still falsely regarded by most as the least biased of the 3 cable networks. However, CNN does pay airports big money to have their fake news on round the clock.

Hmmm, that seems reasonable. I never bought into their “package” or “bundled” deals where folks were forced to pay for TV just to get the Internet. That was a con-job from my perspective.

I’m sure people are going to take this opportunity to talk about their cable bill, or lack thereof.

why cord cutters think that their utility bills are a subject of fascination to everyone else in the country is mystifying to me.

Spectrum has an unadvertised spectrum tv choice package. $21.99 a month. You pick 10 cable channels and get your locals included. Now no msnbc,cnn, or ESPN at my home

500 channels, and 460 of them are infomercials.

Yep, it was a rip-off to have to bundle in the past...but even Comcast sees the writing-on-the-wall...ISP/Internet business is better than no business at all! My younger nephews (mid-20’s) have never had cable TV and don’’t plan on getting it. Anything they want to watch, they stream.

I just have internet, no cable
I can find endless documentaries on Youtube and no it does not bother me that they are posted in copyright violation from the leftist networks.

We then cycle through the streaming companies, taking advantage of their free introductory offers.

Other than that I like Amazon Prime.

This limits our support of the leftist ideologues

There are so many free Over the Air stations now that you won’t miss cable television. Just get an antenna.

Where I now live, we get over 35 solid channels for free FROM AN INDOOR ANTENNA.

Get anything else you want off the Internet and you save a ton of money while getting everything you do want.

No one should pay for CNN today. NO ONE.

Yep! TV just can’t compete with the Internet. I personally have no need for that product.

Most of the ads you see on cable are sold by your provider, not the show producer.

Good for you. I once had cable, until they kept raising my rates. After the price nearly doubled over several years, as their commercials became, "what's on TV", we just parted company.☺

“CNN pays Airports to watch their propaganda”

Not only that, it’s played around the world. It’s how Europe gets their “news” from here. Scary disinformation!

If I were to wish Trump a free executive order it would for all federally funded airports to play FOXNews or OAN News and drop fake news CNN.

I wish someone would start a streaming service where regular channels were on it but you could choose which ones you want and pay for only what you want. Most people would only pick 6-12 channels and all the useless dreck would eventually wither on the vine.

I’ve had a full cable package for a long time. I couldn’t even tell you what channel CNN is on. Same with MessNBC. Just don’t watch them.
