Those stations wouldn't be bundled if they didn't make any money.
When you're adjusting your portfolio I don't think you'd keep the bottom nn percent, would you? You'd probably cast those stocks off and find better performing ones.
The same applies to radio and TV. If they don't make money then they get discarded, and they only make money when sponsors pay for them because a lot of people are listening/watching.
You can choose to not have this "vulgar and evil" enter your living room. TURN THE CHANNEL. The "twentysomthings" have as much right to watch or listen to what they want to watch or listen to as much as you do.
My contention is that if cut loose from the current bundling practice, those (mind/video-sewage) channels would have to float on their own. If you're an empty-headed PooP-Culture sponge, go on and polute your soul if you can pay for it.
But I doubt MTV-1 & MTV-2 and the rest of the sludge-channels would be able to support themselves on the allowances of pre-teens, teens and job-less 20'somethings.
Most importantly, I don't want a SINGLE cent of my money going into the hands of these liberal scum-profiteers. Let them polute the livingrooms and homes of their own families, not mine.
And yes, I know where the off button is on my TV ... but for the countless American parents with children waiting at home until Mom or Dad get off work, the 'Delete' function doesn't always work as designed.
The future of America deserves better.
