You are better off using your computer rather than cable. I cut the cord in 2008 after I realized that I could find the same things online. Now, with streaming services, cable is only good for the bandwidth... and that won't be so for much longer. But, you are so correct in that giving those opportunists any viewer time is silly, as they only go for ratings and whatever gets the most hits is what they will harp on like there is no tomorrow... until the next big 'hit getter' arrives. (As always, one has to take anything from the internet with a pound of salt, but to steal the phrase from 'The X-Files', the truth is out there...)
