Like previous posts; this is another consumer who views News Corporations (MSNBC, CBS, CNN and ABC) to be unworthy of expenditures. I discontinued buying any newspaper years ago and look to media-neutral providers of internet services.

I, like many, tend to shy away from doing business with any company who demonstrates bias in reporting…I interpret their bias as a slap to my integrity, like I can’t make decisions for myself and family without their “spin” ???

The media (for the most part) has demonstrated they favor the destruction of America and support globalization; why else would they NOT offer unbiased coverage of the military in Iraq and Afganistan and the campaign? The media ceased true news coverage in the late 1960′s…since then, the media reports views of its ownership. And they expect VIEWERS like you and me to buy their services? If any other provider of a service demonstrated this; they would be OUT OF BUSINESS !!

This is the first thing I have cut. I value Internet access far more and have no problem keeping up with programs I want to watch via the ‘net.

Paying for programming that still feeds you advertising? First thing to go.

Or not. This is one of the first things I am shutting off, since I can download what I want, and it is quite simple to get free cable if need be. Its a rip off anyways, and equates to a corporate donation every month for mass media control and advertisements
