While the cable/satellite news outlet receive per subscriber fees through the cable and satellite providers, there are still plenty of commercials. Apparently the advertisers have some way of guessimating how many pairs of eyes are watching each channel. If you disagree with a channel's politics or think their reports are unreliable DON'T WATCH IT. If enough of the viewers who are monitored by the rating's agencies agree with you the channel you despise so much will be forced to change their policies or shut down. Also note that FCC authority over cable/satellite channel content is significantly narrower than the agency's authority over direct broadcaster to home antenna content. I have no problem with their content. I have a big problem with them being able to characterize it as "news". They lie, which is completely legal with a few exceptions. I'd like a rule prohibiting them from labeling their "lies" as "news". That's all. This is a matter of urgent importance as the country is rapidly slipping into complete domination. There's that famous "freedom and liberty" crap hard at work. You have no problems with MSNBC of course. Fox lies, lol! I love how dopey liberals like you think freedom of speech is a one way street. |
