I do raise hell with my cable company. (It's a bit harder to raise hell with my hubby who thinks that I will spend October through early June watching hockey games day and night. He's right. I would.)
Here in Northern California, I have AT & T cable. Someone told me that they have a stake in TimeWarner and that's why they won't run FOX NEWS. Depending on the seriousness of the news cycle, (like the beginning of a war, major terrorist attacks and cop car chases) I do get a FOX NEWS feed through the local San Francisco FOX channel. It is always temporary, because the SF FOX channel eventually goes back to its regular programming of X-file reruns, reality shows and kiddie cartoons. Sigh.
