    Cutting The Cord

    Almost all of the cultural and political power possessed by Hollywood and the mainstream media is held up by a one-legged stool, a single leg that gets shakier by the month — this increasingly fragile appendage we call the Pay TV Package. Going forward, for reference purposes, the Pay TV Package is your cable or satellite bundle, which brings with it hundreds of channels and a monthly bill that dings you for $1000 to $1500 a year.

    Without this bundle, almost every institution determined to destroy everything you hold dear — faith, family, country, individual liberty, self-reliance, prosperity, racial harmony, and moral decency — would disappear entirely or at least be much weaker than it currently is. Of course, I am talking about CNN, ESPN, Comedy Central, Disney, MTV, MSNBC, and the like — institutions you — yes YOU — are subsidizing against your will.
    Oh, you think you are hurting CNN and ESPN by not watching them. Yeah, every time you flip on past those left-wing networks you are pretty darn proud of yourself cuz you are showing them a thing or two about a thing or two.

    If not for my old Lady, I would not have TV, I can take it or leave it. It is a big racket and the prices only go up, they lock you in on a contract and hold your credit record ransom.

    I HATE Directv! 500 channels and nothing is on!

    Reruns on the reruns, old movies I've already seen 5 times or more!

    $ 117/mo. for CRAP!

    You beg for money but you can afford crap TV?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    We cut the cord years ago. We have 20 channels OTA two of which we skip. Three maybe four months savings from cable/sat bills will pay easily for your antenna set up.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Was a good and valid point, my TV would go out if the choice was TV or beer!

    No cable here.

    We get whatever comes in through the digital antenna.

    We don't even always get the big three ... or big four if you count Fox.

    Some times we get CBS. Some times we don't.

    For my daily dose of liberalism I have to turn to PBS.
    If you're a racist, I probably have you on ignore.
