Is the Television dead??
People Fed up with the High Prices,Poor service,and bad content,of Cable and Satalite providers are turning it off and turning to the internet for their source of news and entertainment. Does this mean the end for Mainstream media?

3. One can only hope and pray.
Television is the embodiment of evil.

8. If you have broadband internet it is
TV just can't measure up to the latest in information technologies.

The Internet is to TV what TV is to the Radio.

Man, does anyone really listen to Radio anymore? Except online, of course :P

9. You can tell who listens
When people talk about things you can tell when they only get news from TV. I have it because I have cable modem. I also watch movies and stupid crap. Media owns all propaganda...how they say such sweet nothings these days when years ago it was nothing but dogging politics. Its so crazy. Glad I found this site today...first time here.
