Least favorite cable channel you have (besides FAUX NEWS)

[mvd]

I thought that FAUX NEWS would be the runaway winner if I included it. I'll say CNN because I think they have gotten as bad as FAUX while hiding it better.

[Rick Myers]

1. Soap Net seems pretty redundant!!!

And more than one home shopping net is just dumb!!!

[Midnight Rambler]

2. TBN

Home of Pat Robertson, among others.

[Archae]

3. I'm fed up with the "barge in and improve someone's home" channels.

Even the blasted Discovery Channel is doing it, along with build/fix a car/motorcycle shows. :mad:

[Liberal Veteran]

5. Yeah...what the fuck? The only thing I am discovering from the Discovery

Channel is how to become the worst designer ever.

How about some fucking SCIENCE like astronomy, biology, zoology, physics, etc...??????

[Huckebein the Raven]

8. Know what you mean.

TLC use to show stuff like:

A Baby's World (I liked this special )
and the variants dealing with dogs and cats.

And what has happened to the Travel Channel aka the Vegas Channel ?

I miss Lonely Planet.

[blm]

4. ALL the religious networks set up by fascist politicians to convince

working class Christians that voting for greater corporate power is something Jesus wants them to do.

This is also a good place to give this heads up: RevMoon's GoodLife TV network is changing its name to AmericanLife TV in March.

[pink-o]

6. I despise Lifetime

and I'm a woman! I can't think of a single female friend I have that would watch that drivel.

Maybe it's television for women who're still living in the 50s

Or television for women who're friends of John Ashcroft's wife.


Anyway you look at it: Major Ick factor.

[hickman1937]

10. I call it Queen for a Day TV.

In the 50's there was a show called Queen for a Day, and woman came out on stage and told their sordid tales to an audience. The one who scored highest on the applause-o-meter won prizes. I watch Lifetime for the Golden Girls.

[nytemare]

11. I second the Lifetime motion!

I have no idea how it gets any ratings. I like a couple of shows on Oxygen, especially that practical joke show, Girls Behaving Badly. They do some risque stuff on there, suprised they get away with some of it.

[TheMightyFavog]

7. INSP, The deranged fundiebot channel.

Ugh, every time I see even an atosecond of their programming I feel like taking a shower. They fawn over people in Muslim countries doing undercover missionary work. Yeah, way to make those nations happy you giagantic ass grackle douchebags.

Thge only thing that EWTN has going for it is sometimes that old nun they have on can be pretty entertaining.

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. That old nun is bitchin!

and I swear they have her on like 24/7. One minute she's telling bible stories the next minute she's selling crucifixes on her own Catholic Home Shopping Network.

[hickman1937]

14. She's dead.

Those are all reruns.

[Reverend_Smitty]

15. No way you just blew my mind...

so she's selling stuff from beyond the grave...creepy. When did she die?

[hickman1937]

19. I think she had a stroke,

the shows where she's wearing an eye patch were when she was recovering from it, but then she died a couple or more years ago. I used to watch when I still thought it possible to go back to the Church. I couldn't take her, mostly watched Journey Home.

[jus_the_facts]

12. "TURN OFF THE IDIOT BOX"...better yet...STOP payin' for it....

....haven't PAID for MORE commercials in over a decade...don't sit around and suffer the consequences of cable news or other shite...I exercise my mind reading mostly...I occasionally will watch the FREE channels that are still out there...and they are pathetic to the point of not wantin' a TV at all...sigh..if everyone would just quit payin' for cable and sattelite TV then it would FORCE 'em to do better..or put their sorry..no talent..lyin' asses out o'business once and for all. x(


:hi: Matt!! :hug:

[mvd]

23. Hi, jus_the_facts!

Haven't talked to you in a while. I do boycott CNN, FAUX, and MSNBC. I've sent them e-mails based on things I've heard here at DU, saying that they'll never get me back by doing what they are doing. I wish we could select the cable channels we want.

Thanks for posting and good thinking, Amber! :hi: :hug:

[Taverner]

13. TBN and the Word Network

Fucking Fundie Sheep....

[leftofthedial]

16. all those on-air shopping channels

and the learning channel since it became all makeovers all the time

[CatholicEdHead]

17. EWTN

only presents a more mostly right wing look at Catholism.

[hickman1937]

24. That station seems to be dominated by

former fundy ministers. I used to watch Journey Home, and these guys were always talking about starting out to flame the church, then converting. Wierd.

[CatholicEdHead]

27. Station based in AL

which says alot. Even their home page points out that "pro-life" programming takes much of their programming.

http://www.ewtn.com/
https://www.ewtn.com/ewtn/ssl/donation/donation_ewtn.asp

Most of the right wing Catholics are born-again fundies in Catholic clothing.

[Kire]

18. Style network gets no love from me. n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

20. E

Among all the other ones listed, I despise E. the entire network is predicated on sucking up to the pretty and famous.

[bluestateguy]

21. Probably the Speed Channel

My father loves it though. He must be the most liberal NASCAR fan there is.

[TheMightyFavog]

28. 5th Gear is an awesome show...

Plus, it's the only place where I can watch Rallys!

I'd like to see those Neckcar boys try their hand at a WRC event. It'd be good for a laugh.

[cruadin]

22. The Shop at Home and QVC channels are the worst...

in my opinion. They are endless, 24 hr. a day commercials for CRAP.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. All the shopping channels, all the fundie channels, all the

home decorating channels.

It really fries me that I have to pay for that mindless dreck in order to get Sundance, HBO, History International, and the other intelligent channels.

[Blue Gardener]

26. FIT TV

I know I need to work out, no need to rub it in. Fortunately I deleted it form the list of channels so when I surf it's gone, along with Faux and the nutjob religious crap.

[rug]

29. no, shes still alive

ewtn.com

[Thor_MN]

30. Don't know it's name, but it's blocked right after Faux

whenever the power goes out and I have to redo the channel setup.

The channel has nothing but paid programming. 24/7/365.25 of "Buy my lousy crap that no store could sell."
