Republican or Hillary wins the next election.

This is politics on TV, not news on TV.

Americans are stupid to keep paying cable companies to interfere in politics in this way.

This is an obviously political move. Just like the fact that Fox is part of basic cable although it is strictly a propaganda organ of the extreme right-wing.

Stop your cable subscription. Subscribe to the news programming you want on-line. Real News Network, Cenk with The Young Turks, the Pacifica Network, so much good information and news on-line. Who in the world needs cable TV.

You can subscribe to other shows via Netflix and Hulu and similar internet services. Use your TV as an extension of the internet and you don't have to pay your dues to the right wing that owns cable.
