Advertising and the Media

OK, let's see, YOU pay for your cable, satellite, whatever. You pay for your equipment, they cut 30% of the movie, whatever, and fill it with ads you don't want to see, and you're paying for it!? What is wrong with this picture? They get you coming and going. Even CNN/HNN is NO LONGER NEWS - it's Oprah wannabes. And what news the expose is largely conjecture and opinion, slighted towards how they want you to think. Very few, if any, fact! AND you don't get any satisfactory customer service from your provider, just attempts to upsell you or get you to extend your contract. Especially DISH Network, for example. YOU have to comply with the terms, they don't! Hmmm... Personally, when my contract is up, I will NOT RENEW it, get what I can from broadcast, and netflix everything else I WANT to see, thereby FILTERING out all the CRAP!
