The ultra basic cable works fine for me.  At less than $12 per month, Comcast wont get rich on me, and I can watch Amy Goodman everyday on CH 54.

Right, cancel cable, then not be able to get CSPAN; the BBC; KBDI (whose signal otherwise sucks); or any alternative forms of media. For those that gain access to the internet, where self education is more possible, though a cable modem ­ yeah cancel that too and go with Qwest DSL, which is expensive and sucks.



The way to hurt cable broadcasters news channels is not to purchase the products of those companies that advertise on those channels. Write letters to those companies and let them know why you don¹t want to patronize their companies; products and services.



If they don¹t understand why their market share has been reduced, then it is likely that they will only advertise more, not less.



Want to make the cable companies and fake news media come to grips with reality, then you have to tell them. Not pretend that they will figure it out on their own.

I would add, cancel your cable TV altogether. Until the day they offer channels purely ala carte and you can just get comedy central, CSPAN and a few others of your choosing for a proportionately low price, then you're paying your dollars to keep the lights on at CNN, FOX, MSNBC and all the other fake news channels who masquerade as your friends and allies. You won't miss cable; I sure don't miss mine. If you want to be more proactive, you could routinely write the sponsors of the various fake news shows/networks, and let them know you've cancelled your cable, and you're also boycotting their products until you've verified that they've ceased sponsoring the fake news (and I don't mean the Daily Show). Killing your cable tv hurts all the cable channels and their sponsors, but this discretionary use of dollars to shake the establishment is what true patriots need to do to change the direction of a 'democratic republic' where votes are no longer counted, but dollars most certainly still are.



Oh, if only modern Americans (CVV folks excluded of course) had the brass cojones of the Ukranians!



Still the best fake-US-election post mortem:
