So I was ambling through this rag they call "LA Times" with my morning coffee..... and right in the middle of the main section is a full page glossy ad for FOX 11 saying:
ATTENTION!
STARTING JANUARY 1ST, TIME WARNER CABLE MAY STOP CARRYING FOX 11 !!!
(Then across pics of the News cast, Americon IDOL, the NFL, House, 24, The simpsons and various top TV shows it shouts)
NO FOX? NO WAY!
KEEP YOUR FOX 11! CALL 866-KEEP-FOX (866-5337-369)
OR GO TO keepFOX on.com and vote to keep FOX on Time Warner cable.
Now I am not sure about your area's ....but Time Warner is the only cable server in LA and I'd be spitting mad if they take away MY free right to watch FOX 11..... We are not in Communist China nor North Korea???
Thoughts? Grant.

That Good Day LA show sucks!!! But no Family guy!!!Come on......
-
i doubt that obama had much to do with it.. his approval ratings are on the way down.. and if health care gets past the house and senate combined bill it will drop further based on the fact that the majority of americans do not want it.. at least not this bill in this fashion.. fox news is highest rated news show on the market.. wonder what would be the deal..

time warner is awful...i'm sorry that is your only option. i hate aol.

TIME WARNER CABLE LAUNCHES “ROLL OVER OR GET TOUGH” CAMPAIGN
Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE: TWC) today (11/25) announced that it has launched a multi-faceted campaign, on behalf of its customers, targeting unfair price demands by programmers.
Increasingly, when contracts come up for renewal, programmers – those who operate broadcast and cable networks and create television content – are asking for incredible price hikes for their content, at times as much as 300% increases. Programmers make these demands of cable companies and other video distributors, secure in the knowledge that video distributors are the ones who have to pass those costs along to customers and take the blame.

My comcast in FL dropped a lot of local channels in 2008. it wasn't bush's fault, it was about $.

No Fox? That was about the network that wasn't apart of the state ran media! Doesn't help to complain anyway, look at the health care bill, the american people got shut out even though more than 60% opposed it. Thank God Pelosi and Ried will be out next year.

Nancy Pelosi represents one of the most liberal districts in the country, she isn't going anywhere.

She and Reid are going to get pushed right out of their seats, even the liberal base is turning against them. Shit, not that it really matters but even ultra lib commie Danny Glover is turning against Obama and his administration.

Which fox news poll showed this?

Kepp up, even the left bias polls show it.

i'm calling bullshit..

Kepp up, even the left bias polls show it.
the left is opposed to the current HCR bill because it doesn't go far enough: No public option, no medicare buy-in, no drug re-importation, etc. The poll numbers for Obama are down because the left feels he's not doing enough, not willing to stand up to corporate interests, too willing to cave at the right. if he wants his base to show up on election day in 2010, he better start becoming the radical the right claims he is.

you can watch all those shows on HULU.com

good thing i have family guy re-runs on dvd

POLL RELEASED TODAY.. abc, rasmussen, cnn, fox, zogby and the list goes on all show a 60% (give or take 3% points) of opposition to the universal health care and this bill.. so it is not a "fox" poll.. even new york times poll (as liberal as you can get) shows the same the other day..

"As the Senate prepares to vote on health care reform, American voters "mostly disapprove" of the plan 53 - 36 percent and disapprove 56 - 38 percent of President Barack Obama's handling of the health care issue, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
While voters oppose the health care plan, they back two options cut from the Senate bill, supporting 56 - 38 percent giving people the option of coverage by a government health insurance plan and backing 64 - 30 percent allowing younger people to buy into Medicare."
again, many oppose it because it doesn't go far enough
-
If it went any further it would be total socialism. How much more do you want the government to interfere Tim? Would you be happy if they controlled everything? Like I said, they don't care about the polls or people they just want the power, if they gave a shit they would have taken this to the people and made it available to read. Another thing, this bill is exempt to people in congress, why is that? And if it were such a great bill why do they have to bribe other members to vote for it? Transparency my ass, this is easily the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States bar none.

Give it a break Joe...This bill would easily pass in the Democratic majority House.
The true test on bills like this is in the Senate and it appears that it will pass there with a filibuster proof majority.

You think it would have passed if Nelson wasn't bribed with 100bil?
-

Probably not but that's the Senate side. I am sure Nelson has received some sort of kick back and sold his soul for the almighty dollar.
My point is a bill like this would have no problem passing through the cluster fuck that is the House of Representatives.

A bribe is a bribe no matter how much it is.

if medicare is ok for people over 65, why isn't it ok for people over 55? Seniors aren't required by law to use medicare, but they have the option to. If they can get affordable insurance on their own, or if they want to pay for medical care out of their own pocket, they have an option to use a government managed plan. So why not allow other people to buy into medicare?
Transparency my ass, this is easily the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States bar none.
with respect to making back room deals with big pharma, I agree. the only reason to prevent re-importation of pharmaceuticals is to protect the profits of corporations.

Let me see. Ted Turner who owns Time Warner is a major democrat and Obama surporter. Fox news is the only news net work that will critisice Obama, Palosi, Frank and Biden. Any connection? Nahhhhh

Danny Glover was a lousy cop...

Let me see. Ted Turner who owns Time Warner is a major democrat and Obama surporter.
Ted Turner sold Turner Broadcasting to TW in 1996. He stepped down as vice chairman of TW in 2006.

liberals arent making a dent in this bill as far as the negatives polling.. lets be honest.. liberals (although i very noisy bunch) are very much a minority.. the damage to the polls is the fact that most moderates and independents dont like this bill.. the way the bill is now it is nothing but a money maker to the gov as this bill does not kick in for many years but, the taxes to pay for it do immediately.. it is 1/6 of the economy.. and the dems want it.. this bill as it stands does little and costs alot.. the dems liketo say that the cbo said that it will help pay down the deficit.. that is not entirely true.. wants the bill kicks in it will cost the deficit.. can you believe we have become a nation that will fine you 750 dollars if you dont have health insurance?? also ask your self this.. why, if public opinion is so against this bill, are they pushing it..?

Meant to type Jeff Bewkes not Ted Turner who use to be the owner CEO.
-

as posted above
56 - 38 percent support giving people the option of coverage by a government health insurance plan, 64 - 30 percent support allowing younger people to buy into Medicare.
people want health care reform. our current system is unsustainable. the current bill is a give-away to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.

Rush Limbaugh has something to do with this
-
I don't have time to listen to Rush, Hannity or Levine. This is plain old commonsense. I don't think anyone is in disagreement that we need somekind of reform, but this idiotic!

Joe, here you go again with your pathological lies. We both know a republican majority would not have done a damn thing to reform health care if they were in power.
-
Not doing anything is a hell of a lot better than what their trying jam through!

What will the new health care bill give us taxpayers? Higher taxes?

Wasn't even into politics then. He just talked a good game and like an idiot, I fell for it.
-
tim, my point being that the majority of people, as shown in the polls, do not want this bill.. so why are the demos pushing this bill..? many want some type of reform but, not what this bill is giving.. of course, no one really knows what is in the bill.. that is the issue.. they are pushing not because they want to help the uninsured.. that is b.s. if that were the case they would go back to the drawing board and start over with a better bill.. they want the taxes that it is going to bring in.. nothing more.. 1/6 of the economy is a hell of a lot of money..
-
Republicans...Democrats. ..liberal...conservative ...socialism...capitalis m...these things mean nothing except to the sheep that think a label gives them the moral highground.
What this country is and has been moving towards since the first world war is National Socialism, aka Fascism.
The ultimate marriage of corporate industry, weapons makers, international bankers and wealthy families to government legal and military might where everything not forbidden is required and everything not required is forbidden is almost complete and both "parties" have played their parts.
This is the new feudal world ladies where the very powerful control the masses through credit, food, medicine, debt, war and propoganda. This propoganda is evident where the media represents the interests of the elite and this applies to the Ted Turners and the Rupert Murdochs.
Any system that encourage you to fight and blame each other while the rich make off with the money is part of the machine. Stop playing the game.
Meltdown over. >:(
