I guess these people need to be reminded that most people in the Soviet Union and East Bloc simply did not believe the propaganda that Tass and Pravda would serve out day after day. Are they that ignorant and thin skinned?

The proper answer is “Our obligation to our stockholders requires us carry anything the viewers wish to see and are willing to pay for, and on which we can profitably sell advertising.”

Dear Sirs,

With respect to your recent query about how we are justified to carry these channels ... we are justified because it annoys your sorry socialistic butts. We invite you to go eat a 10# bag of sugar free Haribo bears in a single sitting.

Another example of the Dems using power. When we gave the GOP power, they wet their pants.

Martin Niemoller: United States Holocaust Memorial Museum:

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me." - Martin Niemoller

dump cable tv. basic bundle makes you pay for the lying LEFTIST channels.

Stream just the channels you want to support.

The LEFTIST channels get substantial revenue from cable subscriber fees.

CNN gets half of its revenue from cable subscriber fees.

How many of your subscribers tuned in to Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN

Enough to put them in a huge money loss if they dump them and never recover.
Democrats are losing ground by the day they are disparate to try anything and the hole keeps getting deeper.

Those of you who still maintain any sort of relationship with leftist Dems at work, neighborhood, family gatherings and so on (I am not guilty) please ask them how they can take away freedom for the thought with which they disagree but expect others to grant their side total freedom. They probably won't understand you.

It’s because, as they say, they won’t “tolerate intolerance”. And of course, they are the divine arbiters of what/who is deserving of tolerance. All kinds of deviance and evil-no differing opinion.

Yet another reminder of Dirty Harry writing the CEO of Clear Channel asking him to dump Rush Limbaugh.


Dims hate free speech and everything else the US Constitution protects for us.
