Fox "so called news" where brain cells go to die.

I am so happy Dish stood up against them. If folks want to watch Fox they should pay for the station that destroys their critical thinking and sanity. Hate and fear eats the soul and their viewers are soulless people.

Dish doesn't cave. I guess they did with Turner, but I don't know the backstory on the Turner thing so I don't know how that got settled.

Yes, let the Faux fans pay extra to have what's left of their brains devoured!

who aren't aware of what rational and reasonable discussion looks like and wouldn't recognize it if they saw it.

At one time Murdoch owned a huge part of Direct TV .Dish TV is no bargain but good for them to tell Fox to get real .

The whole TV bizz needs a wake up call that only boycotting can bring about .

My friend who has Direct pays about $140 a month for the same content. Dish tries to keep their rates down. Direct is partially owned by Murdoch so I would never switch to Direct. I'd go back to cable before then.

If so, I wasn't bragging - just sharing a whimsical thing I made a few years back.

If not, thanks.
