1) Make Faux News/Faux Business News PPV only channel. Yes, the morons will have to actually pay to get their propaganda. Charge them $100/month - like Playboy Channel or something. Both Dish and DirecTV could benefit from these and lower rates for those who do not subscribe to Faux.

2) Make Faux pay $1 million PER day not to switch to a very obscure channel to be changed daily, not their usual channel.

3) In exchange, Dish has the right to shut them off if they do not shape up their propaganda and follow the 50/50 balance, if they want to be called "Fair and Balanced".

4) Ban Hannity - forever.
