We cut cable this weekend.

First time in my life with no cable and I will not miss it.

Should be cutting the telecom subscription — change provider, or minimize costs.

CNN is ATT
NBC, MSNBC are Comcast

Why does telecom love China Joe so much?

“Not watching”

Fox still gets money if you have cable.

To starve the beast, cable needs to be cut.

Plenty of free content available as long as you have internet
service. And just internet service.

If you support the NFL, NBA, and Nascar, you’re feeding the beast.

Newsmaxtv.com and OAN just got a huge bundle of conservative viewers.

Ditto here.

Tomorrow I cut off Spectrum Cable. Their service has been so bad I call them “Rectum Cable.”

“Welcome to the party, pal!”

(Yeah, I know we’re getting sick of seeing that)

Got rid of mine in 2012.

Too bad FOX wasn’t gone before they could perform their part in this attempted coup.

Good move — me too! I never started the Twitter cesspool. I stopped watching Fox three or four years ago except for Tucker occasionally. Now, that’s gone.

There are plenty of good alternatives.

A couple of sites to see channels over the internet. I believe they upload channels via over the air antennas.

I would love to know the cable TV subscriber base from 6 months ago and what it will be a month from now.

We finally cut cable in September after strongly considering it for over a year. We’ve will pick up an OAN subscription after the free period ends.

Decent people have to come to the realization that there no longer exists an independent , truth seeking free press in America. The MSM went beyond bias and openly colluded with Biden and ensured his fraudulent election. Firstly that absolutely refused to cover the Hunter Biden harddrive facts. They refused to inform the American people that Joe Biden is a corrupt politician and a criminal. He accumulated immense wealth selling his office and influence. He used his diseased ,addicted son as a bagman. The press ignored not only the current fraud but this evidence of criminality. The press has no integrity or criminality. Its doubtful that a majority of the American people understand just what why and how it has happened> nor do they understand the severe detrimental effect it will have on themselves their families< and their nation>

I am planning my cut from DirecTV. I watched Fox News a couple hours most days before. I will never watch a second of that network again though I will miss Tucker, Sean, The Judge, and Levine a lot.

Question for those that know: Do OAN and Newsmax have live feeds that will allow me to watch their daily shows with my Internet connection?

If anybody has suggestions about sites or services that make life without cable easier I would appreciate it. I have been on DirecTV for 20 years so I am unaware of the current alternatives.
