Dish Pulls Fox News, Fox Business Network As Talks Break Down
An anonymous reader writes Fox News and Fox Business were pulled by Dish Network over the weekend, as both continue to argue over a fee agreement. From the article: "Dish said in a statement early Sunday morning that 21st Century Fox had blocked access to the two networks after Dish balked when rates for other networks owned by the media conglomerate were made a part of the negotiations. Tim Carry, executive vice president of distribution at Fox News Channel, countered in a statement that "Dish prematurely ceased distribution of Fox News in an attempt to intimidate and sway our negotiations. It is unfortunate that the millions of Fox News viewers on Dish were used as pawns by their provider. Hopefully they will vote with their hard earned money and seek another one of our other valued distributors immediately."
Fox news did not report it.
Perhaps if the story'd been more fair and balanced?

Look who's bored. Dish customer?
Up next on Fox News: Climate Change: Hoax of the century or are all scientists just stupid? Later, BENGHAZI!!!!! followed by the IRS "scandal." Then after the break it's the economy, year six of inflation being just around the corner, with special guest the president of Goldline who will talk about the great investment opportunity that gold represents. But first, Barack Hussein Obama: how the Kenyan Marxist Socialist Islamist Communist faked his birth certificate, his plans to destroy America, and the source of his anti-white rage.
Nobody watches MSNBC.
Damn, the Republicans are up early this morning. Church let out already? Run out of abortion clinics to firebomb?
