Hard to believe that many folks are clueless, but....
I don’t care for digital myself, but I don’t watch much tv either. I find it is like watching video back in the modem days with breaks in the audio/video stream. Such as life I guess.
That’s just way too damn bad...imagine all them Democratic imbeciles can’t get their government news from the broadcast MSM now...it’s just a cryin’ damn shame....
Maybe Michael Moore was right, maybe we are the stupidest people on earth...
These folks couldn't find their way out of a paper bag without government intervention.
That is to say, “democrat voters”
They’ve only been told about it for a YEAR!
“...and school system has continued to worsen, was probably the next most effected city...”
The writer should examine his own material before throwing stones.
Totally clueless and looking to the government to make things better at someone else's expense.
How would these people see Charlie on TV???? Must have been the entire audience for either MSNBCLSD of cBS calling in.
Is anyone else disgusted that there were actually freaking HOTLINES set up to handle angry folks calling in???? Seriously? If all you do is watch tv all day, sucking up the free stuff handed to you by the government, how the hell did you miss the info regarding FREE converters for your government provided living space?
It’s hard to imagine anyone not knowing. Many stations had ‘crawlers’, occasionally running at the bottom of the screen, for at least a year.
What’s the problem? If you need a converter, it’s because you can’t pick up the alphabetnetworks. No loss there.
Truth be told...I don’t think they’re stupid...bottom line they probably don’t want a “coupon” for a converter box, they probably just want the government to provide them for free.
Most analog stations had been running a scroll at the bottom warning people about the conversion for months.
If people didn’t see it they don’t watch TV. If they did see it and didn’t know they either can’t read (in which case they need to learn to instead of watching TV) or were too stupid to care.
Screw em.
They should have had a coupon cutoff on live day too far as I’m concerned.
Remember, these people are allowed to vote.
Like my grandfather used to tell me; “Stupid is supposed to hurt”.
I’m sure that giving people money to buy a TV, is somehow what the Founding Fathers would have intended.
I chose not to convert. I think I gained about 20 IQ points too, maybe more.
I thought it was hilarious hearing about husbands who told their wives that they had to go buy a large flat screen TV because of the digital switch even though they had Cable, DirecTV or Dish.
I’m neither poor, nor stupid. I just refuse to pay for TV that still subjects me to commercials. Bought my converter box last July in preparation for February.....no conversion. Oh well, it’s here and I’ve been ready for a year.
