1. Agree...but there will be a chorus
telling you to "Just Turn the F**king Thing off" and others will say they got rid of their cable and you should, too.

Many of us hoped there would be changes with the FCC with a new administration. When the Comcast/GE Deal went through without any anti-trust push back and Net Nutrality took a hit..I knew it was all over. Jeff Immelt, CEO of GE is Obama's Jobs Czar and GE got a bail out during Wall Street Corruption meltdown and tax breaks for sending jobs overseas that means they pay nothing but can use our Government to get whatever breaks they want.

Then there's Ruppert Murdoch. It's too big now. It won't change...so those folks turning it off are trying to save their sanity.
