Considering most of us are struggling to live independently, cable is the last thing on our minds.
90% of ESPN is trash anyway, unless it’s an actual sporting event. I can’t wait for a la carte programming.
The Left sowed the seeds of their own destruction.
Everyone needs a break occasionally to just mindlessly unwind and I get that. But there’s a billion ways to do it without making monthly contributions directly to the very people trying to destroy everything you hold dear.
People get completely spazzed and start going off about “Well you own a PC and Microsoft does X.
Sure. And did anyone ever die from a lack of television? It’s 100% optional. Life in 2015 without a computer is a much harder proposition.
No one HAS to be a jihadist. There’s a lot of ways to defund the left and stop their propaganda. Shop smarter. Don’t by products from companies that push leftism TO THE GREATEST EXTENT YOU CAN. Thats really all there is to it.
The market works when you use it to your advantage and cable/Dish is a real easy thing to replace in ones life.
ESPN? The same channel that awarded Bruce Jenner for his bravery?
Hope the financial failure of this network is epic.
Pretty much every corporation gives to libs. Make your own clothes? Soap? Farm all your own food? Run your car on used cooking oil that McDonalds throws out? Good for you if you can, most people can’t hack that.
We cut the cable earlier this year. Initially we missed it, but it didn’t take long to find there were other options than the pap that satellite has to offer.
I cut cable 2 years ago, but obviously I still need Internet. And Time Warner's internet service is far better than AT&T.
So, sooner or later the cable companies are going to jack up the price for internet access, and that money will probably trickle down to the hated cable channels.
as an honest question...What year did you start listening to Rush?...be dead honest.
Real World was basically the model for liberals to go where they went. Once they found an audience of SJW mentality types, they quickly brought out the hit list of leftist causes to ‘eddress and deal with’. The gay soon followed. The right wing type was always the arsehole and so it went.
Then came the Hiltons and the Kardashians. All throughout it they bade everything bad and wrong into cool and good. They marginalized all dissent. they injected politics and pushed every liberal ideal as the correct thing and used the age old idea of peer pressure because lets face it. High school never ends. Adults worried about class reunions proves that.
And of course, ESPN was part of that. It’s a closed system. Propagandize the audience in the ways you wish then to think and behave, sell them products with ads that make it cool, get the ad revenue to profit and take the rubes money to the bank.
Josef would be proud.
Sure. Just give your cash to those that push the agenda least. Why is that objectionable to you?
You need clothes and soap. You don’t need TV.
The unbundled cost would probably have to be closer to $12/month for ESPN to maintain current revenues. I think they are going to have to face declining revenues either way.
I had a similar reaction as you to posters comment. So many cranky people on here ;)
Thanks for your post
Bwaaahaaahaaaa
That and Flo from Progressive.
Exactly. Everything they haven’t been able to defeat in an open frontal assault, they’ve infiltrated to destroy from within. They began with academia and the media, and have steadily infiltrated until now they’re destroying the formerly most conservative of institutions, such as the military and the Christian church (however, Jesus has said that a remnant will always exist, true Christianity-not churchianity-will never be destroyed). I believe they’re also in the process of using this tactic on the so-called “opposition party”. There will not be an influential institution remaining to speak for conservatism and to oppose political correctness as defined by the left, when they’re done. I wonder, once they’ve destroyed every vestige of a conservative voice in larger society, how they plan to deal with the system which actually is all the things the left pretends that conservatism and Biblical Christianity are-Islam? Islam is successfully using the same tactics against the west, including the leftist portion of it (though they make common cause with them now as it suits their interests), that the left used in the Sixties until they entrenched themselves, such as freedom of speech (which they’re now trying to suppress, now that they possess most of the megaphones), making themselves out to be oppressed victims while actually oppressing others etc.
Just look to History. They deal with their victories at the point of a gun bu killing the useful idiots. No exceptions.
History repeats. No exceptions.
True. There are some prophecy teachers who have made good points about the possibility of the antichrist coming from Islam or an Islamic background. They haven’t claimed to know that this will be so, but they have made good arguments for the possibility. More and more I can see their points.
Also, I have a Sony Blu-Ray player that has lots of streaming video icons on it such as Amazon Instant video, Netfix, Hulu Plus and others. I've never tried using them but I'm wondering what the quality of the stream would be on my large-screen TV. Has anyone used the streaming services and how is the quality?
