So basically you are saying that you/we are trapped and that there is/are no alternatives? We just have to take the beating and the lumps while they beat us over the head and we can’t do nothing about it, cause you know, we just have to have it cause there are no other choices or alternatives?
You know I remember when I was growing up, you know, when having principles and such mattered, we had only 5-6 TV channels to watch, that was it....all with an antenna.
You, as with others, follow your conscience.
Understandable that media or sources of media have become so paramount important today to so many despite those same sources of media having political ideological agendas, etc. that run contrary to tens of millions in this country. I suppose it is just easier to yell at the TV and/or a computer screen when our principles, values, etc. are steadily besmirched, villainized, etc., all the while paying them to continue to do such.
Anyhow, peace yo. We all do what we have to do, no matter how much it may or may not compromise our individual principles, values, etc.

Here it’s GMA-7 and TV-5 and that’s it. Wall-to-wall Tagalog-dubbed Korean Soap Operas. All with terrible reception (HOA does not allow external antennae). Basic Cable and satellite TV is the same. Lots of local garbage programming, 4 basketball channels for sports, a shit-ton of Chinese channels, BBC, FOX, CNN and CNA.
This isn’t 1970 anymore.
