In reply to the discussion: Hey MSM! "NOT - ONE - 'EFFING' - SECOND [View all]TonyPDX
(962 posts)66. All of the broadcast & cable media have been turned off in my home since
election night, and several people in my orbit say they've done the same thing. I believe this actually might be the death-rattle for what we once called "television." Channels are naturally migrating to content aggregator/producers like Netflix and Amazon. Local channels can be picked up using a cheap antennae if there's a storm approaching or you want the high school football score.
I don't want to continue paying those bastards for piping conservative sewage into my home.
