Thanks Miss Marple for the heads up. C-Span indeed is funded by the cable companies. How come I don't feel any better about that?
You don't feel any better about it because they give the illusion of being public service, but as we have seen over the last 2 years they have been controlled by the agendas of the Clintons, via the big cable companies who are mostly supporters. I am wondering if Ailes is trying to head off a charge of bias by cable operators as an excuse to drop his network. (I have no proof or even a hint of this, just random speculation.)
Local operators make the decisions of who to carry, for the most part. Push QVC or Home Shopping. At least those are market oriented capitalism. LOL!
I think Brian Lamb has been blackmailed or brainwashed. JMHO.
