OK, it looks as thought the Dish network has come around.

And that may be a VERY good thing for Chairman Charles Ergen. Dish is a publicly traded company and Ergen owes a fiduciary responsibility to his shareholders. Based upon the possible conflict of interest between his political beliefs/practices and his legal OBLIGATION to his stockholders, he may already be civilly liable for Dish losses from his actions.

Between a higher cost with the new FNC contract, losing 90,000 customers in one month, and the discounts they have given on future billing, it doesn’t sound like fiduciary responsibility to me. It sounds like a last gasp at survival!

Don’t be stupid. Was Dish ultra conservative last fall whenCNN was gone for a month?

It’s business. Negitiations. Nothing to do with the CEOs politics.
