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 consists of trolls who are watched by an audience of wild-eyed jingoists and xenophobes.
It is necessary for the channel to exist and to be carried by Dish, so that we may know and hopefully understand what is going on with these people. If we cut ourselves off there can be no hope of reconciliation. Apropos example: Cuba.
I also encourage Fox News fans to watch MSNBC (which I find equally infuriating).
Prove anything by multiplying Huge Number times Tiny Number
This kind of remark is almost reflexive. You could make a criticism of CNN that they are living in a delusional world where blacks are still a suppressed group and where white people are blamed and demonized for any kind of evil or injustice. The liberals are so addicted to conflict and controversy that they cannot let go of long obsolete paradigms of victimization and have to constantly create new fake conflicts and greivances to create false pretenses for false battles. This is despite the fact that for the most part, if anything, whites are the oppressed group in todays society with policies that punish the intelligent and successful ones who built the country. The hatred, violence and attacks on the white race and the white majority today has taken on genocidal, hateful, racist tones. While blacks have been showered with billions of dollars of funded for educational programs, special giveaways and favors and still yet have been unable to in general achieve much of anything at all.
The best thing that could be done for blacks is to jetisson the liberalism, their disgusting white guilt and black victimization tripe, and send a clear message that they have to take personal responsibility and stop blaming others for your own pathetic incompetence. Then they will get the message that to become successful you have to work at it, excel, have vision and so on, and pride in yourself. Pride is an unknown word for liberals, all they know how to do is make some people (whites) feel guilty and make others (blacks) feel sorry for themselves all of the time. It is very tired, old and it has to go.
The democratic party of today is of worship and idolization of mediocrity, the most dim-wited, worthless and parasitic elements of society are the primary clientele of the Liberals, those self righteous, arrogant liberals who on one hand feel they are intellectual superiors, on the other hand enable and even idolize the over-proliferation of the feeble minded mentality. Its almost as if this liberal elite knows it needs a clueless and inept, permenant underclass that it can rely on to buy votes with endless welfare payouts. The Liberals are obsessed with controlling other people, being the self rightoeous jerks that they are who think that they and they alone are gifted with intellectually superior capabilities who know better than you how to run your life, and which is why they idolize the most inept and clueless, they need the inept and clueless to justify themselves, as they need a low skill, uneducated population which cannot govern themselves and therefore need the all wise and all knowing liberal intellectual to manage every aspect of their lives for them. There is nothing more pathetic and absurd than modern Liberalism.
Congrats to Fox for sticking by their guns (so to speak - not literally - pardon the pun). They have hammered into their viewer's skulls that "compromise is capitulation". So strong! So Patridiotic! We should all applaud Fox in Not Negotiating. To so much as speak to your enemy is seditious treason, and Dish is the enemy in this fight.
We also learn from Fox Philosophers the time-honored wisdom, passed down from <reference needed>, that "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". (Which explains why all their kids look alike.) So just walk away - they said no and you said no, that's it. End of story.
Fox is exactly the kind of corporate-person we want our kids to emulate: uncompromisingly dedicated to get their way without the possibility of rational discussion. So Strong! Thank you from all of right-thinking America. Thank you Fox, you are truly an Amercan person, even though you immigrated from the Southern Hemisphere.

Whoosh. Read the parent's full comment again, title included.
(But since you're a Fox News reader by your own admission, I'll guess that reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.)
