The only thing I watch on PBS are the British comedies on Sat.
evening.
Everything else is liberal left wing crap
What's the matter? You can't handle the truth?
No but a little balance would be nice. PBS, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC
are all leftist, pro-big-government channels. FOX is centrist. [...]
Ok, we finally found the one person on the planet that thinks FOX is
"centrist".
Fortunately, he's harmless ;-)
Actually a LOT of people think it's centrist. It's right of the left
leaning network news outlets and CNN.
Well, of course it's to the right. And other than that 21% of the population
that still admit to remaining Republican (or at least RINO) my bet is a LOT
MORE people think it's a lot further to the right.
In any case....do you really think Rupert Murdoch could be considered - by an
actual sane person - as being a "centrist"?
How about the network's "stars", like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Laura
Ingraham, Karl Rove, and Glenn Beck - not to mention frequent contributors
like Oliver North and Ann Coulter, et al. Which one of those people is the
"centrist"?
The only thing more humorous is their slogan...
Where do you get your news.......MSNBC? I watch Olbermann
once in a while for comedy relief. LOL!
Actually, I don't think I've ever watched MSNBC. Like, ever. And the only
Olbermann I've ever seen was in Youtube clips others had sent me links to. In
those, at least, I thought his rants were hilarious, and his targets ripe.
I suppose I'm in the fortunate position of having the time to read the "news"
from multiple sources, some very much left leaning, and at least three that
anyone with a clue would consider right-falling-over. Fox "News" is clearly in
the latter category, but that's just fine. Because I don't listen to OTA
radio, if not for Fox "News", I'd have no clue what the mouth-breathing wing
nuts are being told to think..

Flip. Flip. Flip. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. 70 channels and
nothing worth watching. Eventually we stopped on a John Travolta
movie, but not for long since we both had seen it multiple times, and
we both agreed it was crap. Flip. Flip. Flip.
I've come to the conclusion that cable tv, like insurance, is a giant
scam to get people to waste their hard-earned money to get almost
nothing in return.
Contrast that with over-the-air TV where I get around 25 channels and
hundreds of shows at no cost. Much better deal in my humble opinion,
and for those few shows I don't get to see (like Battlestar Galactica)
I can rent on DVD for cheap. I'm glad I don't waste over 700 dollars
a year on cable.
well woop-dee doo for you, thanks for sharing. Many would disagree
with the cable part and the insurance part. Tuck that 700 away for
something better whatever you may find that to be |

Why make insulting inferences like that? With every post I think you are more
and more of a troll.
You couldn't tell this thread was going nowhere from the root message? Even
if you didn't know who it was, that the message was crossposted among
five newsgroups, not really on topic in any of them, is a bit of a hint. |

You're right. You're not getting my $700 a year. I hope you and
your company go bankrupt (like Circuit City did). Poor service
begets lose of business.
And there are no "variables" to consider. Free tv is free tv.
Nothing Comcast cable has to offer can beat that. Even their
internet is overpriced - $60 a month??? Verizon DSL only costs me
$15.
And you get what you pay for.
You also have demonstrated a thick skull -
"Poor service begets lose LOSS of business."
You are like so many other Internet pseudo-intellectuals - can't
spell, and can't use the proper words either. |

The guy insulted me
I insulted him back.
That doesn't make me a troll, but defensive. |

Precisely my point in post one. For what cable offers, it's not worth
$700 a year, since there's often nothing worth watching. In addition
every show I desire to watch I can see for free via antenna, or rent
on DVD, for significantly less money than seven hundred dollars.

A typo is not a mis-spelling. It's simply fingers stumbling on keys
where they don't belong. I see YOU stumbled yourself when you typed
"lose loss" and ruined your sentence.
I'm not perfect but then neither are you. |

Unless he lives in Minnesota, I HIGHLY recommend against that because such

What a stupid point of view. I'll bet your parents are/did live of YOUR
wages. Your parents are/were nothing but parasites !!!
So you're not going to take social security when you're elgible ? What a
crock-of-sh*t !!!!!! I don't believe it for a minute.
I'll look at it as I'm taking back MY money I paid into it for (what will
be) 50 years of work. Hell, by that time the retirement age will probably
be up to 80 anyway (so make it almost 65 years of work), but won't get
squat, on a count of BEING DEAD !!!!! |
