All of the CNN channels are blocked on my satellite system.

Same here - after Eason Jordan made it known that CNN shined us on about what a great guy Saddam Hussein was, that was all I could take.

Funny how the War Slut (aka Christiann Ammanpour) didn't have a problem with CNN "self-censoring" themselves when that censorship favored Saddam, isn't it?

A friend of our sons was with a national cable company a few years ago.

She told them that if users blocked a channel on a cable or a satellite system like CNN, then the cable/satellite system didn't have pay the few pennies of useage fee for that home.

I haven't been able to confirm this. Since then my oldest son and I have just blocked CNN channels on our systems. He and his wife just went to satellite with their new home. The developer refused to do a sweetheart deal with the local cable monopoly. He wired each master bedroom, family room and den with a coax that went to a master box outside. Then, the new home owner decided on cable or satellite. It appears that a large majority have opted for the cable. That is bad news for CNN and the local tax suckers.

No blood for CNN phoney news coverage!
