Just not on networks, which is why cable companies ( all 3 of them) are losing customers at such a rapid pace.
The internet provides a variety of options, from places like Talking Points Memo, to Alternet, to Democracy Now, Link tv,
and John Oliver just won an Emmy award for his new show.

We have had no cable or radio for years now, and get more real news and entertainment than we have time to watch, onliine.
