10. I seen one of his episodes before.
He was bawwwing about how public media and network neutrality will destroy the "free market" with a proposed 0.5 percent tax on every electronic entertainment device (computers, tv's, dvd's, video game consoles...). I don't paying for a new and improved PBS or a BBC equivalent. I pay taxes too, even though it's mostly sales taxes.

The only reason I would be watching Fox New Channel at all because they switched over to 16:9 broadcasting 24/7. Most cable tv channels are dragging their feet in broadcasting in widescreen. I have a HDTV but there is no option for digital widescreen for cable and if want widescreen I have to pay and HD add-on fee, which does not guarantee that most channels will be in widescreen at all.
