Listen the EFF up NBC, CBS and ABC

There is so much entertainment out there that I could easily and happily live the rest of my life without watching one single fucking second of any of your networks...EVER!!!!

Put this fucking political shitshow on your networks like it's the fucking JFK assassination and I will physically reach into my TV and rip your fucking circuits out!

We got rid of our cable package 5 or 6 years ago. It was the typical landline, internet and basic cable. In NYC, it cost over $100. Too much for mostly shit.

We've discovered that we can get better news and entertainment through the internet or elsewhere, like books. Most of the network programming is also available so why should I pay more for it?

A word of caution: there are some pretty high voltages inside your TV.

I like the media on our computers and my PRINT media (MoJo, VF, etc.) Local newspaper sucks - Murdoch owned- but once we get rid of the pResident, I may even watch Jeopardy again.
