No I meant people who were paying for cable. These days a television on its own is useless.
That’s not true at all; this is 2016. I have a buddy who only uses his television to play video games, many people use it as an output device for their computers, many others just use it to watch physical DVDs or Blu-Rays, many others use it for Netflix...
But okay, cable itself is usually a mixed bag. True, conservatives are forced to finance liberal channels (having a channel blocked does not solve this problem), but liberals are also finance conservative channels. The political net gain/loss for conservatives is difficult to calculate, and I would certainly love to see a study about this. Meanwhile, the political loss for conservatives in relation to Facebook is evident, and evidently enormous.
