Current TV RIP

[bobabode]

Time Warner's quick drop kick of CurrentTV was all it took for us to be pushed over the edge, we've been there anyway with the ever increasing cost of cable. Now I need to find a IP that isn't ATT. Dial up will be a culture shock for me. TW has been blindingly fast compared what we used before.

Whether Al Jazeera continues with my favorite progressive, Cenc Uygar, won't really matter. TYT has been an internet news source for longer than they've been teamed up with CurrentTV, they'll continue on. The "elbow of the day" lands squarely on TW's neck.

We get Current on Direct TV..but who knows if that will last once Al Jazeera changes the name....

DirecTV also has internet via dish. It ain't cheap though.

Sad but true, Pete. And, they're going to be stuck with it for a long time simply because some people can't conceive of the fact not everyone within a given ethnic or religious group necessarily thinks the same.

I know I've met a few muslims, my nephews girlfriend being one of them, who are very nice people.

I have no doubt. There is a modicum of reality though, as in it has been radical Islamicists trying to blow up the world.

I'm sure most commies are nice people too
