There is only one way — one! — to finally and forever destroy Hollywood and much of the mainstream media. You have to cut your cable or satellite cord. You have to cancel your pay TV package. The one-legged stool propping up ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, Disney, MTV, and the entire Tinseltown crime syndicate is you paying for cable TV.
If you want to know how this scam works, read all about it here.
If you want to know what do to after you cut the cord for America, read all about it here.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but there is no single act any American can perform that will do more damage to the institutional left than to cut your cable/satellite cord. So please do so today. If that sounds like hyperbole, look at the recent news, look at what cord-cutting is already doing to Hollywood:

Same here... have not missed much
I have Spectrum at my NYC apt and DirecTV at my upstate cabin. I have a Slingbox so I could easily and happily and savingsly ditch my DirecTV except that my upstate Internet sucks so bad.
Make no mistake - strong rural broadband is the mortal enemy of the far-left media-entertainment complex.
Support rural broadband!
“would love to have one of you tech savy freepers right a simple tutorial on how to get roku, etc...”
I’ll second that! We have DirecTV and Netflix (”Longmire” returns in November!). We’d love to take advantage of Roku, Sling, etc., but don’t really understand how the alternatives work.
We’re on the basic $8 Netflix plan, where we can watch on only device (TV, PC, etc.) At a time. The higher monthly rate plans allow for multiple devices simultaneously.
Do you not realize that those ‘networks’ are providing you the same kind of propaganda programming?
My wife fussed too.... for a while. Now we do more productive things with our time than sit & be programmed.
Gotta have Investigation Discovery!
I would be thrilled if people were doing it for patriotic reasons. It’s going to happen anyway however since the future is all streaming from the interwebs. People are increasingly choosing to pay for just the content they want.
Will you really be missing anything if you never watched another NFL game? Or, will you just be getting a lot of your life and free will back?
“I wish I could cut cable but my TV is an older TV that does not allow streaming. I hope to get a job (still haven’t got one) and save to afford a new modern TV that I can down stream from my modem.”
You seem to have Internet Service, just use that. We shut off the TV 8+ years ago. Never missed it. Plenty of movies on YouTube. If it is something we ‘have to’ see now, we rent it. However, I do not even know how to operate those Red Box things. Few of the newer offerings appeal to me.
Can you post the brand and model of antennae you have?

55” Roku TV, 4k for 397.00 at Wal Mart.
We have internet only. No landline, and no cable. It works.
Satellite and cable TV companies need to unbundle or die.
I cut my cable in the late 80s. Smart TVs with streaming costs maybe 1/4 of what cable costs.
>55” Roku TV, 4k for 397.00 at Wal Mart.
We ‘cut’ just this week. After a trial run with a leftover 2-bay antenna pulled in all the locals, I bought a J mount ($12) and a 4-bay antenna with VHF ‘sticks’ ($20) and now get 39 OTA channels.
For all the web stuff, I’ve got a Fire stick I got when it was yet to be issued ($19) but it’s slow ... torn between this TV (same price BB/Walmart/Amazon right now) or.a Roku box.
The box is nice in that it’s independent of the TV; the TV you cite integrates OTA right in with the streaming channels for a seamless experience.
The reviews suggest it’s a pretty good if basic 4K HDR TV; the $600 one has local lighting for better contrast plus the remote with the earphone jack for quiet listening, but then you’re in ‘serious TV’ money albeit far less then OLED beasts.
For the prior poster with the older TV, the ‘Roku Express’ ($30) or ‘Roku Express +’ ($40, with composite outputs for the pre-HDMI TVs) might be just the thing. “Only” 1080p but $30; it doesn’t have to be expensive.
I have Turbo USA. Land line only. $10.95 a month
What mycotoxin induces hepatocarcinomas?
You signed up after the price was raised. We pay $8 too.
