You con't really believe HBO really cares, do you?
From what I can tell from their programming, so long as the cable fees keep rolling in they and the other cable companies will keep on broadcasting and glorifying whatever they darn well want to broadcast and glorify.
Revenue streams talk. And, sad to admit, I'm not rushing out to cancel my subscription anytime soon. But, I might . . .
When I look at what HBO, Showtime and Cinamax put out, I sometimes think I should cut the cable. The problem is, there isn’t much out there without cable.
I think HBO cares a lot more what people think than we give them credit for. Not many corporations want to come off looking like they dispise members of the military. It’s just not a good business practice.
As for Maher, his schtick is growing old. HBO just might can his ass if a group of people made enough noise.
