A. You need a flat screen with the ability to be hooked to your computer.
B. You can hook it to your computer or if you have wireless in the house get a streaming player. Sony has one, there are a couple of other brands, namely Roku. These will run you 50-75 dollars on sale. You won’t get everything cable offers or straight internet. I have a couple of pay stations and have considered getting the MLB channel. The only problem is that I can’t get games played in my TV market. Because of my viewing habits, this has been a great choice and runs me less than $20 a month.
Very true. Say what we will about Lady Gaga, she’s talented, and you’d get your money’s worth seeing her up close in concert, where as Myli, and her father too for that matter, is a passing fancy with talent for the bubble gum period of one’s life only.
Thank you so much!

I don’t know whether you can block channels on Dish, because I have cable. I assume you can block them.
But it’s very easy to block channels on cable. I don’t do it though. I just flip pass them when I scroll through the guide.
Believe me, what they show on MTV (including Miley Cyrus) is absolutely nothing compared to what is available to 14-year-olds online everyday.
And trust me, I know — I have a 14-year-old daughter. She has shown me what is available on social networking sites (and I’m not even talking about porn sites, although they are also available). You wouldn’t believe what these kids have been exposed to.
Just through the social networking sites, the average 14-year-old girl has seen more penises than her mom has. Not to mention other things, like seeing men have sex with dogs!
Even if you were inclined to block them, you can’t do it, because you can’t keep track of them all, and teenagers have friends, and they all have smartphones and ipods.
And, thank you, too!
Yes, parents group says heads should roll...because they want to be lazy parents and plop their 10 year olds in front of that TV anytime they want. God forbid some of these doughy house fraus should have to spend some time parenting the kids they whelp out.
That must be your 70th repetition of that same basic post, getting a little more explicit each time. Seems you’re enjoying it?
I like to peek in once in a while to see what the enemy is up to and report on it as I have done regularly on the pages of FR for over fifteen years.
I've read the Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf and Obama's "Affordable Health Care Act". These communications should be read by everyone, not disregarded without comment or pushback.
I published and wrote my own conservative newsletter of wide circulation many years ago. I attended a speech in a Chicago surburb college where I tape-recorded Jesse Jackson in his radical and extortion heyday so I could report on it in my newsletter. I went into the bosom of the vipers many times so I knew what they were up to and what their thought processes were.
I have no intention of cocooning myself from any variety of media because viewing graphic eye-candy-for-heavy breathers is not my cup of tea. I will view them, then call them out at every opportunity.
It would be of no help in the battle against the marxists and the porn peddlers bent on taking over our media if everyone did what many are suggesting here....just ignore them and they'll go away....or cancel your cable.
Question.....should conservative media critic Brent Bozell, head of "Media Matters", cancel his cable or cease watching marxist channels and channels of ever-increasing corrupting of kids?....and should he advise everyone to do the same? Or should he expose them at every opportunity?
Know thy enemy.

Lots can be said about Miley Cyrus, but one of the things I took away from it was that her hairdo looked really dumb.
It wasn’t bad hair...it was ugly hair.
There is a fine line and subtle trickiness between groundbreaking and stupid slut.
The first rule is you have to have talent.
And you can’t have stupid hair. Even bad hair is better than stupid hair.
-— Parents Television Council Director of Public Policy Dan Isett accused MTV of marketing “adults-only material to children -—
We need to come up with an accurate name for the “adults” euphemism.
LOL....

We are not her audience. As grown men, $20 can buy us a better show and much hotter women in thousands of places.
Cheap spectacle and the lowest common denominator will only get you to being a slut in a rap music video. Plenty of competition for sleaze.
When I watched the news clips on (I think) Fox & Friends this AM, that was all I could focus on. It was totally dumb hair.
One psych was speculating that her being noticed is like a drug to her and that’s she had to keep upping the ante.
I’m retired, and substituted at the local HS today, and the kids were talking about how she’s not really a very good singer.
I think she feels it slipping away.
I don't know, that's why I have kids. I don't watch much TV so I don't get involved to much. I do know that our TV is hooked up to a box called an Apple TV. I t is hooked up to the TV with an HDMI cable and the kids can play stuff on their laptop and feed it to the TV. They watch You Tube stuff and other programs that they can get on their laptops. I think they can down load it through Netflix as well.
Sorry, I'm just an observer, and know that the amount of stuff they watch over cable is not much any longer.
Kind of funny, when I was in my late teens/early 20’s, I pretty well ignored what was on TV. Concerning radio, I went to college in a different city. I was use to things like AOR Rock music but the town I was at school at, no such thing. But plenty of top 40 music ! It was so bad where you hear the same 5 songs over and over again the whole day. What was so bad was some of the kids pushed it so hard where you you had to like it or you were ostracized especially from the liberal kids !
