Is your local cable company giving free air time to Republicans?
Comcast is the cable provider in our area. I get the very very basic end of cable but there is this Comcast channel that normally has weather and programming stuff, however I have noticed that they have been giving a ton of free airtime to a certain republican congressman. The program looks like it was designed to make this guy look like an expert and I have personally seen this program run about 6 times.

My other beef is that the Catholic Channel has given Rick Santorum loads of face time where he can spout his ideaology. As a catholic it really pisses me off because Santorum doesn't represent the christian ideals I was brought up with. My mother complained to me abuot this because she gets more expanded cable.
Now they have a right to do whatever they want with their channel but personally it repels me.

1. The Rick Santorum Man-on-Dog Hour?
I didn't know they had adult channels in basic cable.

2. hahah that made me laugh
I only saw a glimpse of it at moms but he has some pinhead asking him "safe" questions that he can expound upon...

I am planning on calling the diocese of Greensburg and Pittsburgh to complain since it is wrong to support that pigs political agenda.
