News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision
ideonexus writes "Normally when we advocate Net Neutrality, we are talking about preventing ISPs from discriminating against content providers, but in this case, the content provider is discriminating against the ISP. Is this a new dimension in the Net Neutrality fight? From the article: 'Cablevision internet customers lost access to Fox.com and Fox programming on Hulu for a time Saturday afternoon — the result of a misguided effort on News Corp.'s part to cut off online viewing as an alternative in its standoff with the cable operator over retrans fees. Fox stations in NYC, Philadelphia, and New Jersey went dark at midnight Friday when negotiations between the two broke down.'"
Oh, goody, a lecture this morning. I hate to break it to you, but businesses ARE run by individuals, invested in by individuals, and employ individuals. They are collections of individuals. You are making a nonsensical distinction that happens to fit your concept of politics.
I consider Fox News to be the funniest of all TV channels. The players who consider themselves to be right wing conservatives are a trove of idiocy. Many of their personalities are living proof that abortions need to be legal.
All of the characters except River and the Preacher could've been fed to the wraiths and the show would've been better for it.
the show sucked. bad.
Besides, you didn't counter the whole, low ratings and the fact that Dollhouse sucked too AND the Fox network did everything fans asked(Consistent timeslot, no preemption for sports, etc etc).
There's a reason why House is still on the air despite the so-bad-it-might-as-well-be-scifi take on medicine. Plus we totally got to see Lisa Edelstein nearly naked this season.

...and yet you are outraged when your access to Fox content is cut off. WTF?

All this anger and venting towards Fox and Rupert Murdoch - but no one's brought the Nazi meme to the party yet. Won't you think of poor Mike Godwin?

I agree with the Troll.
Firefly didn't "suck", but I after I watched the DVD I thought, "This is rather average story-telling." I did not see what all the hype was about, and there are tons of Fantasy shows I'd rate higher like Angel, Buffy, SG1, Galactica, Babylon5, Atlantis, Sliders, Farscape, and even Xena.

Clearly you must be new to the Internet because you could probably count to a million and not even be through the porn sites.
