CNN, what's become of you?
When they're not feeding stupid questions to kids at the Rock The Vote debate or identifying reckless Republican drivers as Democrats (archived page), they're blowing smoke up America's ass about how great Bush is.

Jeff,
The DirectTV deal is old news: News Corp successfully bid for that platform (did you honestly expect Mike Powell's FCC to block that deal?). So subscribing to DirectTV is another revenue stream going into the pocket of Sir Rupert.
I'll stick with my Time Warner Cable (a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner). I love channel 103 -- you can get the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) 24 hours a day. They also broadcast the BBC. Once you've tasted the CBC and the BBC you'll never go back to American-based news organizations again.

i wish i still had time warner cable. i bitched about them at the time, but they really were the best cable company i have had so far. at the moment im stuck with comcast, who, although i know nothing about comcast, im sure they are evil. they took over at&t cable here in chicago, raised our bill by 10% (to $50 a month, actually im in to them for almost $100 a month when you add in my cable modem) they also immediately took away 6 channels, including history channel international, and the discovery wings channel. im so mad i could kill... anyway thats the real issue, we cant live without tv, and internet, so how do we hurt them without losing our only source of real information (the internet i mean, not television) and without committing violent acts. thats what we need to figure out
