That is why they created the channel knob or even on the remote. I can't stand people not using their own fingers to change the channel and show these companies they don't like their programming.

I fully understand the free-will and free-market issues -- and yes, boycotts begin at home.

Yet even so, the public airwaves are not unlimited commodities. Also relevant is the fact that these very airwaves are being used in subversion of the Constitution, despite a false premise of the media still being the Fourth Estate. Corrupted though the FCC licensing is, it still is an important check on multinational media conglomerates and on filth spewed under the umbrella of 'free speech.'
