Sorry to shout, but this (CENSORSHIP) is what Bill O'Reilly is disingenuously crying on national commercials that reach millions of viewers. Dish Network is involved in a nasty contract dispute with Fox, and they dropped 'em. It's all about money, of course, and we have seen these disputes many times over the last few years. Time Warner Cable dropping CBS a year and a half ago, comes to mind right away. Sadly, these disputes, always over money, are occurring quite often, and of course, we, the regular ol' viewers, all lose.
No surprise at this particular pathetic, pandering, disingenuous tactic by Fox, but, my god, we have seen these battles between tv providers and networks so many times, and they are always about money.
The disputes always go down the same way, with the provider dropping the network over money, and the viewer losing out (on football!!! on NCIS!!! (heaven forbid). Eventually, the two giant corporations come to terms and regular viewing resumes, but while in limbo, commercials are always run to try and get viewers to switch providers so that they don't lose their favorite programs.
I really don't give a fuck about two corporations pissing in each others' faces, but it always seems to splash in ours. I also give a fuck about such blatant lying by Fox, to call this interruption "censorship". We are supposed to believe that a carrier does not want fair and balanced news coverage?? Wow, the entire media machine, from top to bottom, except for Fox, (and maybe some Mellon-Scaife newspaper, I guess) - god bless him - is just brutally liberal.
I guess Dish Network is in bed with MSNBC, Occupy, and New York City liberal elite commie pinko bastids.
Who knew?
How soon before Hannity starts calling for 2nd Amendment remedies to this insidious problem?
