Is there some Federal law that I am unaware of that forces cable companies to charge you for MSNBC?
I want to pay for the channels I watch...period. I don't want to give support to the channels I don't believe in... My money will not go to support the JC Penny of cable channels (MSNBC)..
It's bad enough my tax dollars are used to support public TV and radio (PBS and NPR) - systems designed by liberals and for liberals... but paid for by all Americans... Could we tax all Americans to subsidize Rush and other conservatives? They would laugh us out of the room - but it's done to us - and they pretend not to 'get; why it might be offensive.
An unintended consequence of McCain's bill would be cable companies might start offering channels that would appeal to conservatives. And there's no downside. Since most cable channels have a liberal bent, liberals can buy as many as they want - and the others will die out. For conservatives the few channels that are for us, we'll still support. The ONLY loss will be liberal channels. I doubt most liberals would pay for 500 channels on cable if 450 of them were aimed at conservatives. We need to grow up and fight back. Liberals hate us. They stick the IRS on us. They lie about us.
We need to fight back our feet and our dollars. And no, I do not want to support liberal channels on cable or liberal anything. Not now, not ever.
